Salmon Fish Oil - What is it?.

Surprisingly enough salmon fish oil is made from the Salmon. It is exceptionally high in the polyunsaturated essentia fatty acid Omega3, an important substance that we can only get from our food. The correct balance between Omega3 and Omega6 EFA's is essential for optimum health, but in the West we eat far too much Omega6 and not nearly enough Omega3.

Salmon Oil - What can it be used for?

Salmon Oil is a fantastic source of the EFA Omega3 which promotes High Density Lipoproteins (HDL or 'Good Cholesterol') in the bloodstream. HDL is beleived to return cholesterol to the liver for excretion or re-use by the body, protecting arteries from 'furring up'. The US Department of Agriculture Western Human Nutrition Research Centre in San Fransisco completed a study that showed HDL was increased by 10% after eating a almon rich diet for just 20 days. It is also thought that a good intake of Salmon Oil can help with decreasing depression, increasing energy levels and boosting the immune system. It also has excellent health benefit for women and the unborn child during pregnancy.

Salmon Oil and Mental Health.

A number of studies have been conducted into the benefits of supplementing fish oil for the protection of mental health. A recent and most promising study conducted by an international team of researchers from Austria, Australia and Switzerland suggests that supplementing with fish oil can protect those at high risk of developing mental disorders. High risk was determined by a strong family history of schizophrenia or similar disorders, or those already showing mild symptoms of these disorders. The study looked at 81 high risk individuals, giving half a fish oil supplement for 3 months while the other half received a placebo. The individuials were then monitored by the team for 12 months for signs of increased mental disorder. Just two individuals in the fish oil group developed further symptoms compared to eleven in the placebo group. Compared to the serious side effects associated with chemical anti-psychotic drugs, fish oil looks more and more promising as a healthy alternative.
