SALMON
OIL
For healthy cardiovascular system
In Western medicine, thousands of studies show the benefits of omega-3 fatty
acids found in fish oil for the heart and circulatory system. These nutrients
help reduce low density lopoproteins (LDL’s) and raise levels of good high
density lipoproteins (HDL’s). These fatty acids also reduce blood vessel
constriction, lower fibrinogen (the blood clotting factor), and keep platelets
from becoming too sticky. Fish oil helps keep arteries from being clogged after
a procedure known as balloon angioplasty.
High triglyceride levels are associated with heart disease. Both EFA and DHA
fatty acids lower triglyceride levels. A landmark study by William Harris, PhD,
showed that diets rich in salmon and salmon oil reduced triglyceride levels by
33% below controls. Seventeen clinical trials involving fish oil and blood
pressure were evaluated by researchers at John Hopkins Medical School. They
found that consuming 3 grams of fish oil a day can significantly reduce blood
pressure.
Until now all fish oil capsules were pretty much the same. However, NATURAL
FACTORS has introduced a salmon oil derived from wild Alaskan salmon. The
difference is that until now salmon oil capsules include more than just salmon -
they were pumped up with other fish oils. NATURAL FACTORS Wild Alaska Salmon Oil
Capsules are pure salmon oil, with the fatty acid ratio found in free-swimming
salmon.
Most commercially available fish oil comes from farmed salmon which are given
hormones and antibiotics. Their convenient, pelleted food is made from animal
by-products instead of the live plankton, krill and algea that wild fish dine
on. Wild fish, however, swimming in the deep, pristine Alaskan waters will
contain high quality omega-3 fatty acids with no antibiotic or hormone residues.

of October.
