Alaska Deep Sea Fish Oil is known for being rich in unsaturated fatty acids. It provides maximum and efficient absorption of EPA and DHA. Alaska Fish oil may help prevent menopausal symptoms, promote better circulation, lower cholesterol and etc. Two (1000 mg each) softgels contain 360 mg EPA(Eicosapentaenoic acid) and 240 mg DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid). EPA is a member of the Omega-3 fatty acid family. It is required for the production of a special group of substances in the body called prostaglandins, which control blood clotting and other arterial functions. Of almost equal importance is DHA, a major component of the human brain tissues and the retinal tissues of the eyes. DHA also serves the other important function of the transmission of nerve impulses in the nervous system.. The average American diet is very low in fresh fish and derivatives of sea food that contain EPA and DHA. Supplementing with Alaska Deep Sea Fish Oil is a rational approach to naturally increasing the amount of EPA and DHA in our daily diets.
