ocean fish oil

Fish oil is a source of the omega-3 essential fatty acids. Essentialfatty acids are incorporated into every cell membrane in the body, inthe form of compounds called phospholipids. Cell membranes play thevital role of regulating what goes into, and what comes out of, eachcell. The integrity and fluidity of the cell membrane is determined bythe type of phospholipid that is available for the body to use. Cellmembranes made up mainly of phospholipids derived from the essentialpolyunsaturated fatty acids are more fluid and function better thancell membranes made up of saturated fat or trans-fatty acids. A cellmembrane working at optimal levels retains vital nutrients andelectrolytes, has the ability to communicate with other cells and isresponsive to hormones.
Omega-3 fatty acids are also importantcomponents of substances known as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.Prostaglandins and leukotrienes are important in immune function,smooth muscle function, platelet aggregation and inflammation. Fishoils have an anti-inflammatory action because prostaglandins andleukotrienes from omega-3 fatty acids have less inflammatory activitythan prostaglandins and leukotrienes derived from other types of fattyacids.
Fish oils appear to alleviate the pain of rheumatoidarthritis due to the role of omega-3 fatty acids in suppression of theproduction of inflammatory compounds.
Fish oil inhibitstriglyceride synthesis in the liver and so helps to lower fats(triglycerides) in the blood of healthy people, therefore supporting ahealthy cardiovascular system.
