Fish oils are the main sources of the Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Omega-3s are very important as the body can’t produce these and only obtains them from the diet. Cold water fish such as herring, kipper, mackerel, pilchard, salmon, sardine, and trout are rich sources of these omega-3s.

Blooms Omega 3 Natural Fish Oil is the catch of the day for VALUE:

-Helps maintain normal healthy brain function and relieve headaches

-Helps heart function, maintaining normal healthy blood triglyceride levels and blood pressure in normal healthy individuals

-Provides temporary relief from the symptoms of arthritis including tender joints and morning stiffness

-Even helps support healthy eyes and skin

-As the brain is made up of around 10% fat, a diet that is low in Omega-3s may affect the fatty acid composition of cells in the brain which may alter their function. EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory activity by reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins and inflammatory cytokines.

DHA is a vital component of the membranes in cells, especially those in the brain and retina (the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye which senses light and transmits impulses through the optic nerve to the brain – corresponds to the film in a camera). As such, DHA is necessary for normal brain development and for the maintenance of normal brain function throughout life. DHA is preferred by the brain to any other fatty acid.

Due to its anti-inflammatory action, Omega-3s have also shown significant benefits in relation to joint stiffness and swelling caused by rheumatism and arthritis. In a recent study, participants taking fish oil supplements daily for 12 weeks or more noticed that they were experiencing less morning stiffness and joint pain. Improvements increased even more after 18 to 24 weeks of taking fish oil supplements, with the benefits lasting for up to 8 weeks after the supplements were stopped.

Omega-3 has also been recognised in assisting with the relief of headache, chronic fatigue syndrome and ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
