Omega-3 combined with Anti-Inflamin Super - the most effective anti-inflammatory treatment
Added 23.10.2008
Omega-3 is quickly becoming a super nutrient and it's no wonder why. Not only does omega-3 promote good general health, but has also been found to benefit brain function, mood, heart and eye health and helps to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
Another benefit to add to this list is that a new study says omega-3 has potent anti-inflammatory properties. Why is this important? Well, chronic inflammation is responsible for many of today's diseases including osteoarthritis, cancer and heart disease.
How omega-3 works
Inflammation is activated by an excess of hormone-like compounds called prostanoids. Omega-3 works as an anti-inflammatory agent by lowering the production and activity of prostanoids. In our bodies, omega-6 (another type of unsaturated fatty acid), is being converted into prostanoids, which increases inflammation. Omega-3 prevents omega-6 from being converted to prostanoids so the more omega-3 we have in our bodies, the lower the chance that omega-6 compounds will be converted into prostanoids. Omega-3 is also converted into specific "healthy" prostanoids but these are much less active and harmful so you always want to have a higher intake of omega-3 compared to omega-6.
How you can get the most effective anti-inflammatory treatment
Omega-3 by itself is a potent anti-inflammatory substance, but if you want to double the effect all you need to do is add some other powerful anti-inflammatory nutrient, and we have it. Doctor's Natural Anti-Inflamin Super contains four natural anti-inflammatory substances that not only treat the symptoms of disease, but the cause as well. Some of these four substances, in combination, are proven more effective than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in double-blind studies. So just imagine the effect you can get by taking omega-3 and Anti-Inflamin Super!
