Omega-3s and Omega Prime

I want to share some excerpts from an article on omega-3s. I feel it is an important article and can possibly save people some heartache if they would read it and start including omega-3s into their diet.

A great deal of evidence indicates that omega-3s can reduce the risk of stroke, sudden cardiac death, and second heart attacks.

Omega-3s are believed to reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death by modulating heart rhythms.

But omega-3s also reduce the risk of stroke and second heart attacks, and are associated with reduced risk or severity in various chronic conditions characterized by inflammation … such as auto-immune disorders, allergies, asthma, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's...

Cardiovascular disease is characterized by buildup of arterial plaque ... a condition called atherosclerosis.

And atherosclerosis begins when oxidized cholesterol and fats invade artery walls... a process that causes the body to initiate an inflammatory immune-system response that actually promotes more plaque buildup.

This inflammatory immune system response is triggered when a key genetic switch or "nuclear transcription factor" called NF-kB activates genes associated with inflammation and cell defenses...

Statin drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor are proven to reduce inflammation within arterial plaques, thereby slowing further accumulation of plaque and helping to keep plaque from bursting and releasing clots that can block arteries.

And statin drugs do this in part by preventing the activation of pro-inflammatory genetic switches like NF-kB, both within arterial cells and within immune system cells such as PBMCs...

Thanks to new clinical research from Holland, we can be sure that omega-3s exert beneficial influence on over NF-kB and other genes in the artery and immune system cells of living people...

The results from a study performed in Holland states that the immune-system cells of participants (of the study) in the High-Omega-3 group underwent beneficial changes to genetic switches, including NF-kB ... changes that made these cells less likely to promote plaque buildup or the inflammation that can cause arterial plaques to rupture with deadly consequences.

And because they help show why omega-3s would be beneficial, these findings lend further credence to the positive results of clinical trials showing that omega-3 fish oil supplements reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and death.

As a vocal proponent of preventative medicine rather than prescription drugs and/or surgical procedures, I prefer taking an all natural omega-3 essential fatty acid supplement, like TriVita's Omega Prime. Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines: one daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.
