MANILA, Philippines - Many studies since the early ’70s have shown a link between high consumption of oily fish and reduced mortality rates associated with heart disease. Thereare findings that show that consumption of omega-3 fish oil can prevent artherosclerosis (thickening of the arteries), thrombosis (formation of blood clots inside vessels), and their associated diseases. In 1972, evidence was published showing that certain omega-3 fatty acids, mainly DHA, were involved in brain growth and development, with research first carried out in rats. Subsequent studies in chickens, primates, and eventually humans showed that omega-3 fish oil was essential in brain development and function. Furthermore, DHA is essential for vision, thought processes, and the control of brain function.
At least 13 clinical trials have been undertaken using fish oil in rheumatoid arthritis, all in patients with late disease who’ve had the disease for at least 10 years.
Omega-3 fatty acids DHA & EPA found in fish also have eye-protective effects. Recent research has shown that regularly eating fish could help reduce vision impairment such as macular degeneration in old age.
To help you get your omega-3 requirement, there’s Cenovis Fish Oil, an all-natural fish oil supplement that contains optimal amounts of omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. An Australian brand, Cenovis Fish Oil is a health supplement that has many health benefits.
International guidelines recommend that an adult should consume 500 milligrams of fish oil per day. This can be achieved by eating two to three servings of oily fish per week. For people with heart disease, double this amount is recommended (1,000 milligrams of fish oil per day).
Costing less than P10 per capsule, Cenovis Fish Oil comes from Peruvian waters, one of the world’s cleanest seas. Unlike other fish oils that come from shark, cod, and other big fish, Cenovis Fish Oil comes from three kinds of small fish: anchovies, mackerel, and sardines. These are small deep-sea fish that reproduce easily, thus, no worries of extinction. Additionally, these fishes have a short lifespan, making them less exposed to pollutants and contamination in the seas.
Cenovis Fish Oil is available at all Mercury Drug outlets and other leading drugstores nationwide.
