Fish Oil Can Help Reduce Deaths From Heart Disease

An agency of the National Institues of Health has published a report stating that fish oil can help reduce deaths from heart disease. In fact, the FDA itself says supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may actually reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

This prostaglandin has numerous health benefits including suppression of inflammatory events. Olive Fruit contains some of the most potent antioxidants. What's more, when polyphenol-rich olive oil is added to fish oil, a synergistic inflammatory reducing effect occurs. Most imporessive was a study showing that polyphenol-rich olive oil decreased LDL oxidation and increased beneficial HDL. Life Extension has identified a proprietary olive fruit extract complex. Just 100 mg of the cutting-edge Polyphen-Oil complex provides the amount of polyphenols equivalent to absorbing two ounces of virgin olive oil.
