(Health-NewsWire.Net, April 23, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Many people use fish oil supplements in their attempt to avoid heart disease. This natural alternative is also believed to help manage pain for other medical conditions, such as arthritis.
Studies reveal that fish oil is not just beneficial for heart health, but also for joint pain. It is believed to increase joint mobility due to the omega-3 fatty acids it contains, namely EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
"There have been studies about the ability of EPA and DHA to reduce certain cardiovascular risk factors, such as blood pressure," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
The American Heart Association recommends that people consume fatty fish, which has high amounts of EPA and DHA. Both omega-3 fatty acids are believed to have powerful beneficial effects in the body, including decreasing certain kinds of inflammation.
There are several ways that fish oil can potentially enhance joint mobility. According to multiple studies, EPA and DHA may significantly increase IL-10, TGF beta and other inflammatory markers. These omega-3 fatty acids might also reduce osteoarthritis progression.
Petri dish studies also show that EPA and ALA, which is another omega-3, can decrease the inflammatory aspects of the cell metabolism in the cartilage. However, additional studies reveal that EPA and DHA combined is more effective than ALA in reducing inflammatory markers.
"Experts are also convinced that the omega-3s in fish oil may potentially reduce the risk of bone marrow lesions. Omega-3 fatty acids also aid in other aspects of joint health," added O'Sullivan.
Any individuals (including body builders) engaged in rigorous, constant physical activities are advised to follow an anti-inflammatory diet. This diet is loaded with plant-based foods, like fruits and vegetables. It could also be beneficial to take fish oil supplements with a high concentration of EPA and DHA.
Omega-3s can improve joint mobility through various biochemical processes. They can help alter eicosanoid biosynthesis and influence gene expression. Individuals who are suffering from or prone to heart disease or arthritis can potentially benefit from taking fish oil supplements.
There are many fish oil supplements available today, but experts suggest using products with the highest potency fish oil, which is 2,400mg of fish oil per serving. Choosing the right fish oil supplements can help supply the necessary amount of omega-3 fatty acids (http://amazon.com/Omega-Fish-Oil-Supplement-Softgels/dp/B00O8NS20K/).
