Omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acid
gamma linolenic acid (GLA) improve a number of abnormalities in individuals
with diabetes mellitus and related metabolic conditions. Hyperglycemia
causes significant impairment to desaturase enzymes, resulting in poor
conversion to the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) DHA, EPA, and GLA from
their precursors. The decrease in PUFA bioavailability affects membrane
permeability as well as microcirculation, both known to be impaired in
diabetics. Supplemental DHA and EPA help to restore normal cellular membrane
content, and improve microcirculation. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil
also improve a number of cardiovascular risk factors which often accompany
diabetes, including lowering of atherosclerotic burden, reducing
triglyceride levels, blood pressure, and markers of inflammation, as well as
improving platelet and vascular function.
GLA is complementary to the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, and has
been shown to prevent the symptoms and nerve degeneration associated with
diabetic neuropathy. Purified fish oils are free of many contaminants, such
as heavy metals and PCBs, which continue to be a growing problem associated
with the consumption of fish.
Benefits
-
Optimal ratio of 2:1 EPA to DHA
-
The pharmaceutical grade omega-3 blend
is the only fish oil in the world to have achieved the highest USP
standard verifying the quality and consistency of the fish oil
-
Stringent quality control standards
ensure that this highly purified fish oil concentrate is free from lipid
peroxides and environmental pollutants, including heavy metals,
pesticides, dioxins, PCBs and other harmful compounds
-
Omega-3 fish oil is sourced from wild
anchovies, sardines, and / or mackerel, one of the best natural sources
of EPA and DHA
-
Harvested through sustainable
fishing practices
-
These small fish are less likely
to be exposed to toxins because they are short lived, and low on the
food chain
-
Wild fish are superior to farmed
fish as they not only have more omega-3s, but contain less saturated
fat and no antibiotic or hormone residues
-
The borage seed oil is cold pressed
and purified to remove any organic residuals
-
Highly bioavailable softgel
Additional Information
Drug Interactions:
The antihypertensive effect of fish oil may potentially reduce the need or
dosage for blood pressure medications, and patients should be closely
monitored. Because fish oil and GLA have antithrombotic effects, caution is
advised for those on anticlotting, antiplatelet, or anticoagulant
medications, or those at high risk of bleeding. At doses of fish oil greater
than 3g per day, hyperglycemia has been observed in diabetics and those with
hypertriglyceridemia, and close monitoring of patients on antidiabetic
medication is recommended. Benefit has been shown when fish oil is taken
with statins, SSRIs, anticonvulsant, and cytotoxic medications.
