(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 26, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Individuals who belong to the elderly population are believed to have greater health care needs. Many of them use a variety of natural alternatives to improve their overall condition and attempt to age well. Fish oil supplements are one of the natural remedies used by many seniors today, and this is why experts are highlighting the importance of practicing its proper usage.
Experts reveal the guidelines for fish oil supplementation in the elderly population. There have been many studies that revealed the efficiency of the natural ingredient in helping seniors reduce their risk for episodes of coronary heart disease.
According to the University of Massachusetts Medical School, the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil can potentially help reduce the mortality rate that is associated with heart disease and decrease triglyceride levels. In the 2010 review in "The Journal of Nutrition", it was found that fish oil may also be helpful for slowing down the progression of Alzheimer's disease.
"It is imperative that seniors are given some information about the dose of fish oil that is both efficient and safe for them," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
The Institute of Medicine has provided details about the adequate intakes of omega-3 fatty acids. According to the Linus Pauling Institute, adult men who are 19 years old and above should achieve a minimum intake of 1,600 milligrams of omega-3s on a daily basis. Adult women who belong to the same age bracket should consume at least 1,100 milligrams of omega-3s each day.
According to the American Pregnancy Association, the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids recommends that adults, including seniors, should consume a minimum of 220 milligrams of EPA, or eicosapentataenoic acid, and 220 milligrams of DHA, or docosahexanoic acid, per day.
The University of Massachusetts Medical School also added that the amount of omega-3 fatty acids required to reduce the risk of heart disease is 800 to 1,000 milligrams daily. MedlinePlus reported that fish oil supplements that contain 1,000 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids may be helpful for reducing high triglyceride levels, and are believed to also reduce the risk of heart disease.
There are many fish oil supplements available nowadays, and experts recommend that consumers choose the ones containing the highest concentration of omega-3 fatty acids. They should also choose a product that comes from a very reputable herbal company to make the most out of what fish oil can offer (www.amazon.com/Omega-Fish-Oil-Supplement-Softgels/dp/B00O8NS20K/).
