Choose the right fish oil for your heart health

-

TRI%LYCERIDES are a type of fat in your blood. ny excess calories eaten are converted into triglyceri­des and stored in your fat cells. Then, your hormones release triglyceri­des for energy between meals. This cycle only becomes problemati­c when you eat more calories than you burn, which leads to high triglyceri­des, or hypertrigl­yceridemia.

Research shows that the chances of heart disease increases by approximat­ely aUG per ab milligrams per decilitre Kmg/d’L increase in triglyceri­des. This is because triglyceri­des are the culprit of plaque build-up in the arteries, along with “bad” LDL (low-density lipoprotei­n) cholestero­l.

Pharmaceut­ical grade fish oil is approved by xv p9l Kpood and 9rug ldministra­tionL as an adjunct treatment to reduce high triglyceri­des levels in adults.

How to determine if you are taking a pharmaceut­ical or supplement grade fish oil?

main criterion of pharmaceut­ical grade fish oil is that purity of the omega-b must be at least e:GS )igh amounts of omega-b Ksuch as –UUmgL are not good enough to be used as treatment and therefore, not accepted as pharmaceut­ical grade fish oil because there is a high content of fish fat in each capsule.

.f you are consuming a capsule of YaUUmg fish oil containing –UUmg omega-bP it means you are putting in bUUmg fish fat into your body, which may be a risk to your triglyceri­des and cause indigestio­n and gastric reflux.

How about enteric-coated fish oils?

The purpose of enteric coating is to prevent burping and reduce potential damage to omega-b by stomach acidsS l regular fish oil pill will dissolve in the stomach in about Y:-aU minutes and once it dissolvesP the oil can rise to the surface and possibly cause burping.

n enteric-coated capsule will not dissolve in an acidic environmen­t; it simply moves along untouched past the stomach to the small intestine. Usually, the enteric coating is a sprayed-on layer on the outside of the capsule using methacryli­c acid copolymer, a synthetic materialS )oweverP people do not like to put such things in their bodies.

Therefore, it is important to ensure you consume only enteric coating materials made of natural plant-source materials.

Enteripure soft gels, developed by Natural pactorsP nanadaP offer targeted delivery to the small intestine using a technology that embeds the natural plant-sourced enteric ingredient­s into the soft gel casing to prevent the soft gel from breaking down in the stomach, improving absorption and ensuring no fishy aftertaste. Features and benefits of pharmaceut­ical grade fish oil with Enteripure:

– oighty to –UG omega-b with only YU to aUG non-omega-b oils

– oasy to get high doses of omega-b with fewer pills, like the dosages used in clinical studies.

– uepeated molecular distillati­on required to get its high purity removes virtually all toxins and heavy metals like mercury. Ultrapurit­y reduces the fishy odour.

Choose a pharmaceut­ical grade fish oil for your heart health and reduce triglyceri­des and bad cholestero­l. If you are consuming any cholestero­l-lowering drugs, such as statins, do consider adding on pharmaceut­ical grade fish oil.

Study results show that by combining with this pharmaceut­ically active omega-bP you will achieve better results in managing the lipid profile in your body.
