Dr. Marina Johnson Fish Oil

Product Description

Fish oil deficiency can result in fatigue, dry skin, cracked nails, thin and brittle hair, constipation, aching joints, depression, arthritis and hormone imbalances. It is also important for cardiovascular health.

The American Heart Association recommends that patients with heart disease consume 1 gram of fish oil daily.  A recent study in the British Medical Journal, Dec 2008 found that among all patients studied, fish oil lowered the risk of death by 20%.  Among patients with known heart disease, fish oil significantly lowered the risk of sudden cardiac death by 26% and from death from cardiac causes by 20%.

Dr. Marina Johnson brand, Fish Oil contains the most potent Omega-3 fatty acids available. These oils are beneficial to cardiovascular health as well as supporting proper nervous and immune system function, joint and hormone health. Dr. Marina Johnson's brand Fish Oil meets USP standards for quality and purity for trace heavy metals and pesticide concentrations. Another advantage is that our Fish Oil is burp-free for almost everyone.

The list of benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids has become quite extensive and is still growing. Omega 3s are essential fats which means they are not manufactured by the body but must be provided through the diet and/or supplementation. Because Omega 3s are incorporated into virtually every cell membrane, these important fats touch every organ and system in the body. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are the two main Omega 3 fatty acids with demonstrated clinical effectiveness in a wide variety of conditions.

Of most note is their benefit to the cardiovascular system showing a protective effect in heart disease, strokes and blood vessel health. These fats have a role in reducing high blood pressure and lowering cholesterol and triglycerides. Omega 3�s anti-inflammatory properties have shown to reduce symptoms in autoimmune conditions such as arthritis and lupus. These fats are highly concentrated in the brain, in fact, the brain is 60% fat. Adequate amounts of Omega 3s become important in maintaining mental and mood balance and have been shown to help lessen the symptoms of depression. The nervous system, immune system, joints, skin and hormones all depend on these essential fats to work properly. Encouraging new research shows these fats, when used with diet and exercise, enhance the amount of body fat lost in a weight management program. The most common form of these Omega 3 fatty acids is oily cold water fish such as salmon, sardines, mackerel and herring. Because our oceanic waters can be polluted, it is important to ensure the fish oil you buy is of the highest quality and purity.

Dr. Johnson personally selected this fish oil from an exhaustive search of many other brands, reviewing and (from her pharmaceutical background) independently analyzing third-party assays from the original raw source to the post manufacturing data. This Fish Oil product is the winner that far exceeded her specifications. This formulation proved to be the absolute lowest in heavy metals and pesticides in parts per billion and a product that Dr. Johnson takes herself.
