Excess production of free radicals generated in the body can damage cells. Some scientists believe that when free radical damage occurs in the brain, it may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease, which is believed to be caused by the accumulation of harmful plaque in brain cells. According to one study, researchers found that people who ate fish at least once a week over a period of several years had a 60% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease than those who never or rarely ate fish.

Additional research suggests that DHA, the predominant fatty acid found in the brain, and EPA (another key fatty acid) play an important role in defending against damage promoted by free radicals. Both DHA and EPA can be linked to many aspects of healthy brain cell function.
<h2>A Landmark Discovery</h2>
Over 35 years ago, the Inuit (Eskimo) people of Greenland attracted the attention of medical researchers around the world. Why? The Inuit had an unusually low incidence of heart disease, which was surprising since their diet consisted mainly of fat from whales, seal, and salmon. After examination, the scientists realized that these foods had something in common: they were all rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which provided remarkable health benefits. Thirty five years later, researchers continue to investigate how Omega-3s benefit us.

<h2>The Secret to Good Heart Health is a Balancing Act</h2>
Scientists found that without a sufficient supply of Omega-3s, the body instead uses Omega-6 fatty acids to build cell membranes. Unfortunately, Omega-6s contain unhealthy saturated fat, which reduces elasticity in blood vessels and arteries. This makes it more difficult for blood vessels to accommodate changes in blood flow, which makes it harder for the heart to return to a resting state. But how is it that in a land where every type of food is available, we are deficient in Omega-3s? The American diet consists heavily of cereals, processed foods and vegetable oils and spreads, all of which are very high in Omega-6s, the bad fats. Modern Western diets are dismally deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids. So what’s the solution to getting your Omega fatty acids in balance?

<h2>American Heart Association Strongly Recommends</h2>
...that healthy adults consume 0.5 to 1.8 grams per day of Omega-3s (at least 2 servings of fish per week). People with high levels of Triglycerides benefit from 3 to 5 grams of Omega-3s per day. For people who don’t get the minimum amount of servings of fish per week, the American Heart Association also suggests supplementing their diet with fish oil capsules.

<h2>A Convenient Way to Get the Highest Quality Omega-3s</h2>
One of the highest quality Omega-3 supplements you can take is Pristinium® from Medical Doctors Research®. The doctors at MDR® chose pristine arctic salmon oil for Pristinium’s source of Omega-3s, as wild salmon is one of the richest sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

<h2>More Omega-3s than in a Serving of Fish</h2>
MDR Pristinium® provides 67% more Omega-3s in each serving than ordinary fish oils can supply. Plus, each capsule of Pristinium® has a concentration of these beneficial ingredients that is greater than found in a single serving of fish!

<h2>Above and Beyond the Call</h2>
In addition to Omega-3s, Pristinium® contains with Extra Virgin Olive Oil for extra antioxidant benefits. Olive Oil is a key element in the Mediterranean Diet and one of the healthiest heart diets today! We also added natural Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, and Vitamin C to help prevent the delicate oils from being oxidized. That means longer-lasting protection from Pristinium’s Omega-3 fatty acids. In addition to protecting Omega-3s from oxidation, Vitamin E provides its own unique health-protective properties. Medical journals report natural Vitamin E may help support brain function8 and may benefit the immune and cardiovascular system. Beta-Carotene also helps contribute to a healthy heart, as does Vitamin C.

Each softgel of Pristinium® provides 600 mg of Omega-3s. That’s equivalent to about two servings of fish per week. So thanks to what we’ve learned from the Eskimos, we can enjoy a life of good health with Pristinium® Omega-3 Fatty Acid Complex.
