Background Info
Omega3 is a supplement that has been heavily researched for the past few decades. It was first discovered and researched in the late fifties in the University of Wisconsin. In the 1958 it was
first synthesized. In 1964 scientists
demonstrated that Omega3 produced a benefit in the treatment of congestive
heart failure. In 1970 the antioxidant effects of Coenzyme Q10 were discovered and
it became more commonly used to treat such conditions as heart disease, which is caused in part
by the production of free radicals in that exist in cardiac tissue. In 1978 a British
scientist was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his discovery how Omega3 played a role in cellular energy production. With all of this
knowledge behind it, Omega3 has been used for to support a variety of
conditions.
Omega3 Dosage
Omega3 is available in a variety of dosages ranging from 10 mg to 300 mg per
capsule. However, as with any supplement users should be careful. Large doses aren't necessary and may even
be harmful if used and extremely high doses. Moderation is always a key. Just as it has been recently discovered that vitamin E in high doses (generally over 400 units), is not beneficial, and even
potentially harmful, we may still discover the same fact about Omega3. It's recommended that users do not take more than 50
mg or maximum 100 mg of Omega3 a day, unless advised by their doctor.
How does Omega3 work?
Each cell in the body needs a source of energy to survive and multiply, so cells break
down sugars, fats, and amino acids to make energy to exist. Small enclosures within
cells that make this energy are called mitochondria. Omega3 exists naturally
in our mitochondria and carries electrons involved in energy metabolism.
Omega3 is essential in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the
basic energy molecule of each individual cell. In the bloodstream, Omega3 is mainly transported by lipoproteins such as
LDL and HDL. It is
thought that Omega3 is one of the first antioxidants to be depleted when LDL
is subjected to oxidation. Thus, Omega3 is an important nutrient that
prevents the oxidation of lipoproteins, thus potentially reducing the risk
of arteries from forming plaques and getting damaged. In healthy individuals, Omega3 is found in high concentrations in the
heart, kidneys, and liver.
Side Effects of Omega3
High dosages of Omega3 can induce restlessness and insomnia. Long term side
effects of high dose Omega3 use are not clear at this time. Further tests are being conducted. Stay tunes. We will bring more updates as new information comes out as the result of these studies.
Omega3 Recommendations
Currently Omega3 is a supplement that should be used as part of a long-term health regimen. Long-term therapy with 10 to 60 mg a few days a
week seems a reasonable option for many individuals. Particularly it should be used by anyone who has a history of cardiovascular conditions since this is where its greatest benefits reside (please see product benefits section for further information).
