Fish: It's oil good

MANILA, Philippines - Eating fish has always been championed as one of the ways to achieve optimum health. Fish contains a potent, health-giving substance, fish oil, which contains omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated good fat that is important to our health.   

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 is essential for brain development and function. Furthermore, DHA is essential for vision, thought processes, and the control of brain function. DHA is also crucial for an unborn child’s brain and considered critical for brain development, maintenance, and intelligence. More, increased consumption of fish oil has been linked to reduced levels of mild depression, memory loss as well as mood and anxiety disorders.

In autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, increased levels of omega-3 (especially EPA) have been shown to limit the multiplication of abnormal cells. Dietary fish oil has been shown to have a positive effect on suppressing chronic and acute inflammation in the joints.

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.

Cenovis Fish Oil helps you get your omega-3 requirement. This all-natural fish oil supplement contains optimal amounts of omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. An Australian brand, Cenovis Fish Oil is a 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 the 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. Additionally, these fishes have a short lifespan, making them less exposed to pollutants and contamination in the seas.

Individually packed for freshness, the fish oil extraction of Cenovis is done in a highly-advanced and sanitary process in Norway, which makes it odorless and with no fishy aftertaste. Cenovis Fish Oil is available at all Mercury Drug outlets and other leading drugstores nationwide.
