Marine Lipid Concentrate recommended with all programs unless you consume 3 – 4 cans of sardines per week. EPA and DHA are some of the most important fats you can provide your body for health. It is not burned for fuel but rather integrated into cell membranes. People with the highest levels of omega-3 in their blood have a better memory. Approximately 10% of the human brain size has been lost in the last century due to processed foods and lack of EPA and DHA in the diet. Omega -3 fatty acids are critical for proper immune system function and help to maintain cardiovascular and joint health. Studies concluded: “A higher omega-3 index was associated with reduced risk of both cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality.”
“EPA as a free fatty acid is very promptly absorbed and incorporated into the body’s phospholipid membranes, and then starts to act very quickly. Once incorporated into cell membranes, EPA-FFA significantly affects the production of pro-inflammatory mediators such as IL-6 and leukotriene B4 that play a crucial role in starting and maintaining the inflammatory process in the lungs. Moreover, EPA-FFA metabolism generates pro-resolving mediators and bioactive metabolites, that enhance innate microbial killing and organ protection,”
