PharmaOmega Life is omega-3 fish oil supplement available without a prescription. Life is formulated for general health benefits, with a focus on fighting inflammation to promote joint health.

Proven Health Benefits

Omega-3 fish oil has a nubmer of Scientifically Proven health benefits:

• Reduced Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms
  Multiple high quality studies report improvements in morning stiffness and joint tenderness with the regular intake of fish oil supplements for up to three months.

• Relieve Osteoarthritis
  Dietary supplementation with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids reduces inflammation and slows cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis (degenerative joint disease).

• Anti-inflammatory effects
  Fish oil significantly diminishes the production and effectiveness of various prostaglandins, naturally occurring hormone-like substances that can accentuate inflammation and thrombosis.

• Healthy bones
  Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, are positively associated with BMD (bone mineral density). Higher bone density in youth can decrease the chances of brittle bones or osteoporosis later in life.

• Reduced triglyceride levels
  There is strong scientific evidence from human trials that omega-3 fatty acids from fish or fish oil supplements (EPA + DHA) significantly reduce blood triglyceride levels. The American Heart Association, in its 2003 recommendations, reports that supplementation with 2-4 grams of EPA + DHA each day can lower triglycerides by 20-40%.

• Cardiovascular disease prevention
  Several high-quality studies report that in people with a history of heart attack, regular consumption of oily fish (200-400 grams of fish each week equal to 500-800 mg of daily omega-3 fatty acids) or fish oil omega-3 supplements (containing 850-1800 mg of EPA + DHA) reduces the risk of non-fatal heart attack, fatal heart attack, sudden death, and death due to any cause.

• Lower blood pressure
  There is strong scientific evidence from multiple human trials that intake of omega-3 fatty acids slightly reduces blood pressure. Reductions of 2-5 mmHg have been observed, and benefits may be greater in those with higher blood pressures. Experiments suggest that omega-3 fatty acids stimulate relaxation of endothelial cells in the walls of blood vessels.

  There is promising evidence that omega-3 fatty acids may decrease the risk of cardiac arrhythmia, which can lead to sudden cardiac death.

Precautions

People taking more than 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids from capsules should do so only under a physician’s care. High intakes could cause excessive bleeding in some people.
