Fish Oil with Vitamin E:

Clinical studies have shown Omega III fatty acids to support healthy triglyceride levels.  A strong correlation has also been shown between fish oil consumption and the ability to maintain healthy levels of C-reactive protein.  Fish oils are also important in the maintenance of normal blood flow, as they support normal fibrinogen levels (coagulation or blood clotting), which contributes to normal platelet aggregation.  Essential Omega III delivers the three grams of EPA and DHA the American Heart Association recommends.*

What Makes This Product Unique?

Essential Omega III provides the three grams of EPA and DHA that studies reveal is the most effective amount. Fish oils have been clinically demonstrated to provide a host of benefits that successfully promote cardiovascular health. Despite clinical studies, which show that at least three grams of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are required to produce significant benefit, many fish oil supplements do not supply this level of active ingredient.
