Omega-3 is an essential fat that cannot be made by the body and must be sourced from the diet.
The ideal source of Omega-3 is oily fish, but most people don’t eat a lot of oily fish as part of their daily diet, which is why fish oil supplements are one of the most widely taken supplements in the world.
Pelagic Fish Oil by ModernX is an an exclusive blend of highly nutritious fish oil, from oily fish such as Mackerel, Atlantic Herring and Blue Whiting.
The fish are wild caught in the clean, ocean waters of Norway and the final product is then expertly distilled and purified in the USA.
Scientific Proof
Here is some of the scientific evidence regarding the many benefits of consuming a high quality fish oil that includes Omega 3, DHA and EPA, which you will get when you take Pelagic Fish Oil by ModernX:
Heart Health
- “Large body of evidence gathered from long-term studies that consistently demonstrates an association between higher intakes of fish, fatty fish and marine n-3 fatty acids (EPA+DHA) and lower risk of developing CVD (Cardiovascular Disease), especially CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) and cardiovascular mortality (death from heart attack/disease) in the general population.” [1] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Reduces triglycerides by 25-50% after one month of treatment (triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. High levels of triglycerides can lead to hardening of the arteries in the heart, which increase the risk of stroke, heart attack and heart disease). [2] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Regular intake of fish can reduce chances of dying from coronary heart disease by more than 50%. [3] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Boosts endothelial function of the heart. (Endothelial cells control vascular relaxation and contraction as well as blood clotting and immune function). [4] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Lowers blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause hardening and thickening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can lead to a heart attack, stroke or other complications. [5] U.S. National Library of Medicine
Brain Health
- “Omega fatty acids…help to protect against neurodegeneration and the chances of developing cognitive impairment.” [6] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Boosts cognitive performance of brain. [7] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Reduces oxidative stress in the brain. (High levels of oxidative stress in the brain leads to fatigue, memory loss and brain fog). [8] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Protects brain against neurodegenerative disorders and cognitive decline. [9] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Reduces shrinking of the brain due to age. [10] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Reduces the decline of memory with age. [11] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “Omega-3 supplementation can improve cognitive function for people experiencing mild cognitive difficulties.” [12] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Boosts working memory. [13] PLOS Research
Eye Health
- “Oral omega-3 supplementation for 3 months significantly reduced IOP in normotensive adults.” (IOP = Intraocular Pressure. Having high levels of intraocular pressure leads to glaucoma, which results in a gradual loss of vision over time. Preventing glaucoma helps ensure that you retain clear vision as you age). [14] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “Omega-3 protects against the development and progression of retinopathy, a deterioration of the retina.” (Retinopathy results in vision impairment). [15] National Institutes of Health
Skin Health
- “…helpful for maintaining skin homeostasis (homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials) and ameliorating (ease, reduce, alleviate) cutaneous abnormalities (abnormal hair, abnormal skin growth).” Maintains the health of skin and helps get rid of abnormalities. [16] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “The fatty acids in fish oil can improve skin barrier function, inhibit UV-induced inflammation and hyperpigmentation, attenuate dry skin and pruritus elicited by dermatitis, accelerate skin wound healing, and prevent skin cancer development.” [17] U.S. National Library of Medicine
Joint Health
- Up to 70% improvement (reduction of pain, ease of movement) for people suffering from tender joints. [18] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Fish oil is a natural alternative for pharmaceutical drugs that reduce join pain that works just as effectively, or even better in many cases. [19] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Omega-3s are “…precursors to lipid mediators of inflammation and may attenuate and modulate the autoimmune inflammatory response. They have been shown to ameliorate arthritis.” (Omega-3s reduce inflammation and symptoms of arthritis (arthritis = swelling and tenderness of joints, resulting in pain and stiffness). [20] U.S. National Library of Medicine
Emotional Health
- Omega 3 has an anti-depressant effect. [21] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “…fish oil helps to improve mood and decrease depression.” [22] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Omega-3s “…contribute to the development and maintenance of brain dopamine (feel good hormone) systems.” [23] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “Compared to controls, those students who received omega-3 supplementation showed a 20% reduction in anxiety symptoms. The data suggest that omega-3s can reduce inflammation and anxiety even among healthy young adults.” [24] U.S. National Library of Medicine
Weight Loss
- “Fish oil helps burn (use/get rid of) fat by transforming fat-storage cells into fat-burning cells.” [250] Kyoto University
- Helps reduce belly fat. [26] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- “6 wk of supplementation with FO (Fish Oil) significantly increased lean mass and decreased fat mass.” (Lose fat without losing muscle). [27] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Reduces levels of triacylglycerol in the body. (Excess calories are converted into triglycerides, which is a type of fat found in your blood. Excess triglycerides are stored in your fat cells. Lowering your triacylglycerol levels means that you will lose fat). [28] U.S. National Library of Medicine
Immune Health
- “DHA-enriched fish oil enhanced B cell activation and select antibody production, which aid immune responses associated with pathogen clearance, while possibly dampening the totality of the inflammatory response.” (Boosts the immune system and your ability to fight off pathogens (pathogens = bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that can cause disease). [29] Science Daily
- Speeds up wound healing (i.e. cuts, scratches). [30] U.S. National Library of Medicine
- Strengthens immune system to reduce inflammation as a result of exercise (i.e. reduces exercise-related pain and speeds up recovery time). [31] U.S. National Library of Medicine
