Omega 3 Fatty Acids such as EPA and DHA are considered essential fatty acids. This means that your body cannot manufacture them, and you must get what you need from your foods. Omega 3 fatty acids need to be consumed in balance with Omega 6 fatty acids. Many nutritionists today recommend a ratio of 1:3 Omega 3:Omega 6, but most typical American diets contain a ratio of closer to 1:30!
Omega 3 fatty acids are good for reducing inflammation, supporting a healthy heart, and more. Omega 6 fatty acids are necessary for good skin, hair and bone health, metabolism and reproduction. Omega 3 fatty acids come from fatty fish like salmon, sardines and tuna. Omega 3 fatty acids can also be made from oils in flax and walnuts, but only if you are healthy. Some people seem unable to convert the flax & walnut oil to Omega 3s. So if you are a vegetarian and think you are getting all the Omega 3 fatty acids you need from your vegetarian regime, you may be wrong.
Omega 3 fatty acids from the green lip mussel have been shown in lab experiments to be at least 200 times more effective at reducing inflammation than fish oils, so if you need to reduce inflammation in your body, you might very well want to consider a good source of green lip mussel oil such as Moxxor. In fact studies show that on average, it takes at least 247 capsules of salmon oil to equal 1 capsule of greenlip mussel oil as far as the antii-inflammatory benefit.
In addition, greenlip mussel oil thins the blood but does not reduce blood clotting, so whereas those facing surgery are well advised to cut back or even completely cut out fish oil, this is not the case with the greenlip mussel oil in products such as Moxxor.
