May reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Ultra Omega-3 from Now has a beneficial effect on the lipid profile, decreases platelet aggregation and the risk of thrombus formation, reduces high blood pressure, and has a marked anti-inflammatory effect.

The great benefit of Omega-3s in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases is the reduction of blood fat levels, by lowering triglycerides. These are complex lipids made up of glycerol and fatty acids. They are the main components of fats. Omega-3s can stabilize atherosclerotic plaque, one of the risk factors for a cardiac event. This happens because an unstable plaque can rupture at any time and, by leaking its fat content into the surrounding blood, it promotes a thrombotic phenomenon.

There are also studies showing a reduction in acute myocardial infarction. Omega-3 fatty acids reduce blood pressure. It is thought that DHA is the Omega-3 responsible for this action. This long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid has been shown to have an aldosterone-lowering effect (a hormone responsible for increasing blood pressure). Several studies on DHA have reported reductions in blood pressure (about 6 mmHg systolic and about 5 mmHg diastolic) in hypertensive individuals. The natural Fish Oil Concentrate used in this softgel is manufactured under strict quality control standards. It is tested to be free of potentially harmful levels of contaminants (mercury, heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins, and other contaminants).

Those who experience nausea or reflux from fish oils and other fish derivatives should look to use this enteric formula, presented in softgel form, which is easier to digest and odor-controlled.
