Health 1st Natural Fish Oil Syrup

Health 1st Natural Fish Oil Syrup Description: Fish oil contains fatty acids which are the basic building blocks of fats and oils. Certain fatty acids are considered essential because they cannot be produced in the body and must be obtained from outside sources. Omega-3s are one type of essential fatty acid (EFA), and include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). In the body, ALA can be metabolized to its longer chain products, EPA and DHA, though this is not an efficient process. EPA and DHA are the only EFAs to occur naturally in oily coldwater fish, making them an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. These EFAs are integral to every cell in the body and offer a variety of health-related benefits.Omega-3 fatty acids offer several cardiovascular benefits, including decreased serum triglycerides and a reduction in blood pressure.
