- Theory
|
- Omega-3 oils are metabolized in the body into
prostaglandins and metabolic byproducts known as eicosanoids. The function and regulation
of eicosanoid metabolism is extremely complex and controversial, but it is known that they
function as short-term locally acting hormones. Some eicosanoids have been implicated in
stimulating growth hormone secretion, while others may have beneficial effects on heart
metabolism Prostaglandins such as EPA, DHA and GLA are involved in blood pressure
regulation, blood clotting, the inflammatory process and blood vessel dilation – all
of which have implications for heart health.

| Scientific Support |
- A number of scientific studies suggest that diets
high in omega-3 oils may protect against the development of diseases such as heart
disease, attention deficit disorder, arthritis, colitis and other inflammatory diseases.
It has been convincingly shown that omega-3 fatty acids can reduce triglyceride levels in
the blood. The effect of omega-3s on cholesterol levels, however, are inconsistent and may
require excessive doses of fish oil to be effective. In rare instances, high dose fish oil
supplements may even increase serum cholesterol levels in genetically predisposed
individuals.
