GNC Triple Strength Fish Oil

Omega-3s are good fats that are essential for us to stay healthy. Our body cannot make them and hence we need to get them through our diet. There are different types of Omega 3s but amongst them Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) are the most available. The ALAs are plant based whereas EPAs and DHAs are derived from fatty fishes.

EPA is the most favourable omega-3 fatty acid for heart health, mood support, and anti-inflammation. It is important for our circulatory system and helps maintain normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels. DHA is required for supporting your eye, brain, and skin health. It is essential for expecting and new mothers, and promotes normal eye and brain development in foetuses and newborns.

As per the Indian Council of medical research (ICMR), one needs to consume a minimum of 250 mg to 2g of EPA and DHA per day to get the desired health benefits. It means we need to consume 5-6 servings of fatty fishes daily to get the required amount. Alternatively, if fish is not a part of our normal diet, then we should take a fish oil supplement daily that contains at least 900 mg of EPA and DHA.

GNC Triple Strength Fish Oil provides 3 times the amount of EPA and DHA present in standard fish oil. Only the best quality oil derived from wild, deep-ocean fishes are used. GNC follows a multi-step purification process until each batch is free of detectable levels of mercury, cadmium, lead, and PCBs. GNC pays attention to all these details in order to offer the best quality and high-potency fish oil supplement.

Fish oil supplements are taken any time of the day. However, if you ask the best time, we would recommend consuming the supplement with one of your meals. Fish oil is better absorbed with meals rather than on an empty stomach.

Oxidation level of any oil is measured using a test conducted in a laboratory called “peroxide value”. All unsaturated oils have some level of oxidation in simple words deterioration in the quality when comes in contact with oxygen. More the unsaturation - more is the oxidation. Fish oil contains mainly Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and other fatty acids that are unsaturated in nature. As per Codex General Standards for Fats and Oils, the peroxide value of any fresh oil should always be less than10 meq/kg. GNC Fish Oils' typical peroxide value is not more than 5meq/kg making it safer to consume.

Studies have proposed that omega 3s can easily cross the brain cell membrane and interact with mood-based molecules inside. Statistical inquiry has shown that omegas 3s provide relief from depression and other mood disorders in several affected individuals. Fish oils are currently gaining popularity among researchers and health professionals.

Each GNC Fish Oil softgel capsule is enteric coated, which prevents any unpleasant fishy burps or aftertaste after consumption.

People from all age groups need to get their daily dose of omega 3s. People in 20s would be looking to start and sustain a healthy regimen; people in 30s might need support to stay sharp and more focused; people in 40s would need supplements for their joint health and supports function of other vital organs. All these people would stay fit by practicing healthy habits and by including good-quality fish oils in their daily routine.
