MLM’s have specialized in bringing cutting edge nutritional products to people. Here’s one such product and its benefits.
In the first large-scale study of its kind, published in the American Heart Journal, researchers investigated the health effects of daily Omega-3 supplementation in combination with a drug commonly prescribed for those at-risk for heart attacks, angina and other negative coronary events.
Patients who were identified as having higher than average levels of cholesterol were divided into two groups: a main group that included nearly 15,000 participants with no prior history of coronary artery disease, and a secondary group with over 3,600 subjects with a prior history of coronary artery disease. Some of each group were given highly-purified fish oil supplements in addition to a statin (a prescription enzyme blocker that lowers cholesterol levels in the blood by reducing the production of cholesterol by the liver), while others were given only the prescription drug.
Over the course of the nearly five-year study, there was a significant difference between those receiving the fish oil supplements and those who did not. While both therapies proved effective in reducing cholesterol levels, those taking both statins and fish oil supplements had a 19% reduction in risk for heart illness. The researchers also noted that a similar, preventative benefit may result from daily fish oil supplementation for those not currently deemed at-risk for heart problems.
