Omega 3 Fatty Acids are all the rage, now. Nutritionists, Dermatologists and Internal Medicine Specialists, Gerontologists are all recommending Omega 3 Fatty Acids to treat everything from skin conditions to heart disease, arthritis and senility. Omega 3 Fatty Acids are just as helpful for our pets!
We Americans, people and pets, don’t get a lot of Omega 3’s in our diets, owing to the lack of fatty sea food in most of our diets. Our diets are over-loaded in pro-inflammatory Omega 6 Fatty Acids. The body’s cells will use whatever Fatty Acids are present to build new tissue and repair damaged tissues. If Omega 6’s are predominantly available, they will be used, putting all tissues in a state of relative inflammation. If, however, we eat a higher proportion of Omega 3 Fatty Acids, those will be used to repair and rebuild our tissues. These Omega 3 – rich tissues will be less prone to inflammation. This process of replacing pro-inflammatory cells with anti-inflammatory cells takes time as the body naturally turns over old cells, so Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplementation is a life-long investment in better health (for people and pets!).
Pets with osteoarthritis, skin allergies, hypothyroidism, pancreatitis and other fat metabolism problems, liver and kidney disease all benefit from high doses of The Omega 3 Fatty Acid fraction “EPA” (Eicosapentaenoic Acid). Twenty milligrams per pound (20 mg/ lb) of body weight is a rough dosage for EPA to achieve an anti-inflammatory dose. This dosing can be achieved by giving your pet Fish Oil capsules. ** Read the label on the product your choose: All Fish Oil supplements have different amounts of EPA and DHA and Omega 6 Fatty Acids! Avoid fish oil supplements made with mercury containing mackerel and tuna oil. Veterinarians often carry safe, convenient pump-on-the-food forms of High Potency Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplements just for pets.
“DHA” (Docosahexaenoic Acid) is the best Omega 3 Fatty Acid fraction for pets with senility and heart disease (just like people). The same product that provides an anti-inflammatory dose of EPA
will also have a good dose of DHA for the heart and brain cells. And, what senile older dog couldn’t also use some help with arthritic joints or organ dysfunction?
Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplementation is fast becoming known in the human and veterinary medicine fields as the best, most efficient, all-around Awesome nutritional supplement that we can use.
Help your pet live a more comfortable, longer, happier life with Omega 3 Fatty Acid supplementation.
