Omega–3 Cardio, (EPA 200, DHA 100, ALA 265) provides Maximum Cardiovascular Health Benefits.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Canada, accounting for at least 36% of total mortality. The American Heart Association recommends that those who have cardiovascular disease, as well as those who are at high risk for cardiovascular disease, take Omega-3 fatty acids for heart health. Flaxseed oil is high in alpha-linolenic acid, the primary Omega-3 which can be converted into either DHA or EPA. Omega-3 from fish is a ready source of EPA and DHA oil.

The Omega-3s provides some ability to lower cholesterol. They also have a beneficial anti-inflammatory effect on the lining of the coronary arteries of the heart, decreasing the production of the chemical responsible for the inflammation. Coronary inflammation is considered to be a central factor in heart disease risk. A chronic pro-inflammatory state in the coronary arteries drives the formation of plaque buildup or atherosclerosis. Omega-3s also have a beneficial blood thinning effect that lowers the risk of inappropriate blood clotting. When essential Omega-3 fatty acids are chronically lacking in the cardiovascular system, a pro-thrombotic state can emerge, significantly raising the risk for heart attack and stroke.
