The Benefits of Fish Oil
Nature Made Fish Oil
Nature Made Odorless Fish Oil
Nature Made Double Strength Fish Oil
Heart & Stress Defense ™ Fish Oil
Nature Made Triple Omega
Why is fish oil beneficial for my health?
Fish oil is a great addition to the diet because of its naturally-occurring omega-3 fatty acids.
The two primary omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are most notably studied and recommended for their role in maintaining heart health and reducing the risk of cardiovascular concerns. To ensure that you are getting all of the benefits of EPA and DHA, take fish oil with meals that include dietary fat in order to promote optimal absorption.
Nature Made Fish Oil
- A number of health care professional groups including the American Heart Association recommend 500 mg of EPA and DHA per day for healthy adults. Nature Made Fish Oil meets that recommendation in two softgels, and up to four softgels may be taken daily. Nature Made Fish Oil is a great fit for healthy adults who intend to maintain healthy heart function.
Nature Made Odorless Fish Oil
- Nature Made Odorless Fish Oil provides the same amount of EPA and DHA as Nature Made Fish Oil. What makes Odorless Fish Oil unique is its special enteric coating. An enteric coating is designed to help reduce fish burps or a fishy aftertaste in individuals who experience that side effect from a non-enteric coated fish oil product.
Nature Made Double Strength Fish Oil
- Nature Made Double Strength Fish Oil is a concentrated formula that provides 672 mg of EPA and 552 mg of DHA per serving of two softgels. With an EPA and DHA strength of 1,224 mg per serving, Nature Made Double Strength Fish Oil is a convenient option for those who are serious about heart health and aim to meet higher EPA and DHA levels.
Nature Made Heart & Stress Defense Fish Oil
- Research has shown that low mood can lead to increased stress on the body which in turn can impact heart health. Emerging science has identified the role of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA, on this mood and heart pathway thereby improving mood and promoting heart health simultaneously. Nature Made Heart & Stress Defense Fish Oil has nearly three times more EPA (1000 mg) than most fish oil supplements, plus DHA, and is a great addition to the diet of individuals who struggle with mood concerns and/or have a family history of heart concerns.
Nature Made Triple Omega
- Nature Made Triple Omega provides 434 mg of omega-3 fatty acids per serving that are derived from oily fish and plant-based sources to help support a healthy heart.
We certainly hope you find this information useful, and please make sure to discuss your dietary supplement regimen and nutritional needs with your primary health care professional.
