Omega 3 comes from a variety of sources, the best of these being from Salmon oil. Omega 3 has many uses and benefits for the human body. Its main and biggest benefit is that it helps protect from cardiovascular disease and has been proven to dramatically lower the risk of heart disease. As well as this benefit, Omega 3 is essential in the maintenance of our cells. A very important function (and one that has only recently been discovered) is that Omega 3 affects the anti-inflammatory process in the body. The lack of Omega 3 in our modern day diet as an anti-inflammatory is a large contributor to the high rate of chronic disease in the world today.

Many of the Health Organisations out there urge us to increase our intake of Omega 3 and to do this by increasing our intake of fish oils. The problem is that the majority of fish that we consume is tinned tuna which has one of the lowest levels of Omega 3 as a fish source.
In the 1970’s, a group of scientists studying Eskimos where baffled by how much fat they ate. The majority of calories in the Eskimos diet were from fish oils (or essential fatty acids). But wait, isn’t too much fat bad for you and puts you at risk of heart disease??? In the Eskimos’ history there has never been a case of coronary heart disease. Because of the lack of high quality Omega 3 in our diets today we need a food supplement that has a high potency complete supplement, providing 35 levels of all 8 members of Omega 3 fatty acids. The most concentrate and potent source of Omega 3 comes from Salmon oil but in modern day there is risk from over 160 contaminants that could be found in salmon oil. The extraction process can thus be challenging in order to supply top quality Omega 3 supplements to the market and it takes a vast amount of experience to do this properly. One company who has the manufacturing of all natural top quality Omega 3 Salmon oil is a 50 year old company, GNLD. Their Omega 3 Salmon Oil Plus is formulated to meet the highest criteria of Omega 3 production with an average of below zero out of more than 160 contaminants during the extraction process. They have recently found that Omega 3 contains more than just EPA and DHA but also a family of 8 master molecules that are basic to the human biochemistry.

Omega 3 fatty acids also play a big role in the health of our arteries, keeping them elastic and flexible to expand and contract with blood pressure as well as reducing hardening. The National Hearth Lung and Blood Association say that just by increasing the intake of Omega 3 in an average persons diet reduces the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by 40% and reduces the risk of death from other diseases by 29%. It is truly amazing to think just how much this one nutrient does in a pool of so many nutrients.
