Is it the cholesterol number?
A recent review of a multitude of clinical studies conducted on omega-3 reported that omega-3 fatty acids derived from fish oils called EPA and DHA can change cholesterol into subtypes of cholesterol that are less as likely to stick to your arteries.
Omega-3s can change LDL cholesterol.
Our family of Res-Q customers are simply ecstatic about their results when their doctors looked at their arteries.
Res-Q 1250, our omega-3 supplement, is designed to encourage arterial health and elasticity, the real reason that we watch our cholesterol in the first place.
Sometimes we are asked, “Why does fish oil raise LDL cholesterol a couple of points?”
An interesting answer to this question, is offered in a review of omega-3 clinical studies published in the Sept 2006 issue of Vascular Health Risk Management, “This may be due to the fact that the more buoyant, fast-floating LDL-subclasses increase, while the denser, slow-floating LDL-subclasses decrease.”
Even if the LDL cholesterol number does not change, the LDL cholesterol type could be better – a larger, more buoyant type that is better for your cardiovascular system. Smaller more dense LDL cholesterol is known to be more harmful to the arteries.
Omega-3 supplements take cholesterol health into a new realm, promoting beneficial changes to the type of cholesterol. Today, we watch our cholesterol number, tomorrow we may watch our cholesterol type. Some doctors are already now looking at the cholesterol by subtype or size, which may be more helpful to doctors than the cholesterol number by itself.
Additionally, omega-3’s help triglycerides, which comprise total cholesterol number. This is another reason to take them, especially since there are so few treatments for triglycerides that are as effective as omega-3 supplements.
