Pacific Health, Inc. Adds Premium Quality Fish Oil Plus to Its Line of Superior Natural Products

March 22, 2011 - PRLog -- The waters of the Pacific Northwest produce great fish. The cold, deep waters of the Puget Sound and its surrounding tributaries produce fish exceptionally high in healthy omega-3 oils. Given Pacific Health’s proximity to this resource, knowledge of the many benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, and customer requests, Fish Oil Plus was created.

Our bodies need omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil to function properly, but they are not naturally occurring in the body. Although omega-3 fatty acids can be obtained through eating fatty fish, it is very difficult to get enough through diet alone. Fish oil capsules, manufactured using oil-rich fish like mackerel, tuna and salmon, allow anyone to experience the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Two of these in particular, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and decosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have been shown to provide a multitude of mental and physical benefits.

According to the Mayo Clinic, research has shown that ingesting the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil can lower blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Consuming fish oil can also boost levels of HDL cholesterol, which is sometimes known as the “good cholesterol.” Those who have previously suffered from one or more heart attacks even have a lower likelihood of fatality when taking fish oil. And, the ability of fish oil to decrease the risk of fatality from heart disease has shown promise. The blood thinning effect of fish oil can be very beneficial to cardiovascular health, but the Mayo Clinic notes that “Because of the risk of bleeding from omega-3 fatty acids, a qualified healthcare provider should be consulted prior to starting treatment with supplements.”

Fish oil can reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Fishoilbenefit.net states, “A major component of the eye's retina is DHA, accounting for 60% of the fatty acids in the retina.” Remember, DHA is a component of fish oil. The same website lists several causes of ARMD which can be lessened by omega-3 fatty acids. Weak blood vessels and poor circulation are both causes of ARMD, and omega-3 fatty acids can help to strengthen blood vessels and keep circulation functioning correctly. The combination of an ocular support formula, like Claroxan, and a fish oil supplement, like Fish Oil Plus http://www.pachealth.com/category_s/62.htm, is a great safeguard against damage to the eye.

Fish oil may also aid in the reduction of joint pain and stiffness for those suffering from arthritis, as omega-3 fatty acids can help to fight inflammation. Taking fish oil in combination with joint-support formulas like Pacific Health’s http://www.pachealth.com Lurosil can also help.

In addition to the myriad of benefits listed above, omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil have anti-aging effects because they help to keep cells alive for longer periods of time. They can also help to keep skin clear, healthy and glowing and can nourish your hair to keep it full and shiny.
Fish oil is a great addition to your supplement regimen, but some precautions should be taken when choosing which brand to buy. Always make sure to read labels on fish oil supplements to ensure that omega-3 oils are present and additional ingredients are minimal. Pacific Health’s Fish Oil Plus, for instance, includes 1000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids in each softgel and can be taken up to three times day. Purchase fish oil made from only edible portions of the fish (not the head or tail!) and make sure that the manufacturer ensures that the fish that they use are healthy and free of disease. Rancid fish oil is also a concern, but this can be prevented by buying from a reliable company like Pacific Health and by doing a simple test offered by Fishoilbenefit.net. The website offers this method of testing for freshness of your fish oil supplement: “Bite into the capsule. It should taste fresh and slightly fishy. If it tastes bad or has an extremely fishy taste, it is rancid. Throw the entire bottle away and do not buy that brand again.”
