News, Research & Links

American Heart Association Recommendations

Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease. They recommend eating fish (particularly fatty fish) at least two times a week. Fish is a good source of protein and doesn’t have the high saturated fat that fatty meat products do. Their advice includes useful guidelines on dosages. More...

USA-Peer-reviewed research continues to show the cardiovascular benefits of fish consumption or intake of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LC-PUFAs).

This is good news for countries like the United States with high rates of cardiovascular disease. More...

Omega-3 Fatty Acids May Prevent Heart Disease By Improving Arterial Elasticity

NHS to prescribe Omega 3 for Heart Attack Survivors
