DESCRIPTION

What is Pure Nutrition Omega-3 Fish Oil 180 EPA/120 DHA?

Pure Nutrition USA Omega-3 Fish Oil 180 EPA/120 DHA is a highly-absorbable softgel fish oil supplement containing evidence-based doses of the key omega-3 essential fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). 

A vast body of clinical research shows that EPA and DHA are imperative for promoting healthy cardiovascular function, enhancing skin tissue, bolstering joints, boosting immunity, and much more.1,2 

Why Should I Use Pure Nutrition Omega-3 Fish Oil 180 EPA/120 DHA?

The major providers of EPA and DHA in the human diet are freshwater fish. However, eating fish is becoming more of a health concern due to noxious heavy metals and environmental toxins that accumulate in marine food sources. For simplicity and practicality, many people use a fish oil supplement to meet their daily EPA and DHA requirements without having to worry about eating fish.  

Omega-3 essential fatty acids are also present in foods almonds, flax seed, and oats, but the amount is minimal. As such, it’s to your benefit to use a fish oil supplement even if you eat a diet rich in foods that contain omega-3 fatty acids.

How Pure Nutrition USA Omega-3 Fish Oil 180 EPA/120 DHA Works?

Omega-3 supplements contain a key polyunsaturated fatty acids that are necessary for optimal wellness and longevity. In other words, you must consume omega-3 essential fatty acids since the human body doesn’t create them internally.

There are three types of Omega-3 fatty acids, but two of them in particular are crucial for optimum health—eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is another essential omega-3 that is found in many land plants, but it plays a lesser roles in humans. Your body can also convert small amounts of ALA to DHA.

Furthermore, there are many other omega-3 fatty acids that are required for proper longevity and well-being, but EPA and DHA remain the most beneficial according to clinical research.3,4

EPA and DHA are found in many parts of the human body, particularly the membranes of cells, making them integral components of our physiology. DHA and EPA are also necessary precursors of several disease-preventing metabolites.4 

Consistently using a fish oil supplement leads to EPA and DHA enriching your blood lipids, cells and tissues, which has a variety of benefits for enhancing your health and decreasing the risk of many diseases.1 

What Makes Pure Nutrition USA Omega-3 Fish Oil 180 EPA/120 DHA better than other Fish Oil Supplements?

Fish oil and omega-3 supplements are quite popular and have been for decades. However, not all omega-3 fish oil supplements are the same. Choosing the right omega-3 fish oil supplement will make or break your results. 

Many omega-3 fish oil products provide a seemingly large content of fish oil, but the oil is poor quality and has an improper ratio of EPA and DHA (this makes the product ineffective and rather worthless). 

Pure Nutrition USA offers two Omega-3 Fish Oil supplements with efficacious doses of EPA and DHA:

  • Omega-3 Fish Oil 180 EPA/120 DHA, which provides a 3:2 ratio of EPA:DHA
  • Omega-3 Fish Oil 480 EPA/240 DHA, which is highly concentrated and provides a 2:1 ratio of EPA:DHA
  • Always keep in mind that the amount of DHA and EPA you ingest is ultimately what will determine the results you experience from using a fish oil supplement. Pure Nutrition USA Omega-3 Fish Oil 180 EPA/120 DHA is also free from impurities and resists oxidation. 

Benefits of EPA and DHA found in Pure Nutrition USA Omega-3 Fish Oil 180 EPA/120 DHA include:3,4 

  • Provides an evidence-based 3:2 ratio of EPA:DHA
  • Promotes healthy cardiovascular function
  • Boosts immunity
  • Enhances brain health and cognition
  • Supports healthy skin tissue
  • Encourages proper hormone signaling
  • Fortifies energy production 
  • Bolsters joint integrity and function

Read below to learn more about the research behind omega-3 fish oil supplements.

Cardiovascular Function

One of the most therapeutic benefits of using an omega-3 supplement is enhancing your cardiovascular function. Studies consistently show that DHA and EPA are some of the strongest regulators of blood pressure, cholesterol/blood lipids, and inflammatory markers (which are all used as risk factors for things like heart disease).5 

EPA and DHA from a fish oil supplement work to decrease total cholesterol, LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, and inflammation associated with substances like C-reactive protein. In fact, clinical research has shown that patients taking a fish oil supplement produced upwards of 70% less C-reactive protein than those who didn’t supplement with fish oil.6

Brain Health & Cognitive Function

Fish oil has been shown to drastically improve mental state exam scores in patients with cognitive dysfunction.7 DHA and EPA are both components of neuron membrane phospholipids meaning a proper fish oil supplement will help boost nervous system function and decrease age-related neurodegenerative processes. 

Immune Support

Omega-3 fish oil supplements help reduce production of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced proinflammatory cytokines, which is essential for controlling systemic inflammatory response. In fact, a human study showed that fish oil use decreased cytokines by more than 50% compared to placebo.8 

Improve Skin Health & Reduce Acne

The DHA and EPA in fish oil are postulated to be the primary anti-inflammatory nutrients for skin tissue.9 Research shows that regular use of a fish oil supplement reduces signaling cascades induced by pro-inflammatory chemicals in the skin, such as leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2).10 DHA and EPA also appear to control oxidative stress in skin tissue by neutralizing free radicals.11

Moreover, a 3-month clinical study of 13 individuals with “severe” acne revealed that fish oil supplementation decreased the acne to “mild” levels in eight subjects.12 In fact, another study (comprising more than 1000 adolescents) showed that higher consumption of EPA and DHA from fish was correlated with reduced signs of acne and oily skin.13 

Enhance Joint Function and Integrity

As your joints are exposed to biomechanical and physiological stress through things like working out, your body naturally increases cytokine production (which can lead to pain and inflammation). Research suggests that omega-3 fish oil supplements help block the actions of proinflammatory markers in joint regions, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha and interleukin-6.14 

How Much Fish Oil Should I Be Getting? 

Research contends that a combined intake of EPA+DHA in the range of 1000-3000 mg per day (with 3:2 ratio or a 2:1 of EPA:DHA) is ideal for health and longevity purposes.15 Each serving of Pure Nutrition USA Omega-3 Fish Oil 180 EPA/120 DHA provides 300 combined mg of EPA and DHA. 

Pure Nutrition USA also offers Omega-3 Fish Oil with 480 EPA/240 DHA if you’re looking for a more concentrated fish oil supplement.
