Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are three of the major types of omega-3 fatty acids that are found in foods and used by the body. The body converts ALA to EPA and DHA, which are more readily used by the body. The right product and dosage will require input from your healthcare practitioner who can recommend what best suits your specific needs.

As background, however, research indicates that omega-3 fatty acids offer several cardiovascular benefits: lowered serum cholesterol, decreased serum triglycerides, and reduction in blood pressure. They also help prevent blood platelets from clotting and sticking to artery walls, thereby allowing blood to flow more readily through the vessels. Omega-3 essential fatty acids may also reduce inflammation and prevent arrythmias (irregular heartbeat).

Below, we have listed a few Jamieson supplements, which vary in the amounts of EPA and DHA depending on your needs, and provided links to the product description and benefits so that you and your healthcare provider can determine the product that is right for you. Omega-3 Complete 1,000 mg

This pharmaceutical-grade product contains 400 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA in each capsule. It is one of the highest-potency products on the market today.

Omega-3 Heart 1,000 mg
Jamieson's Omega-3 Heart 1,000 mg contains fish oil that is purified to remove all traces of mercury and other contaminants. This pharmaceutical-grade product not only has among the highest levels of EPA (400 mg) and DHA (200 mg) on the market, but it also contains a patented olive-pulp extract, OleaSelect,™ which offers antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Omega-3 Brain 1,000 mg
Omega-3 Brain is a pharmaceutical-grade product formulated with a high concentration of the omega-3 essential fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA forms an important structural component of cell membranes throughout the brain and nervous system. This product is an effective maternal supplement during pregnancy, as it may assist with proper development of the brain and eyes in the fetus and newborn infant, and during lactation. Omega-3 Brain prevents age-related cognitive decline and may be useful in the treatment of ADHD (attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder).

Omega-3 Calm 1,000 mg
Omega-3 Calm helps regulate mood and supports emotional well-being. It eases symptoms of depression and related emotional disorders, including sadness, anxiety and sleep disturbances. Also, it reduces the risk of seasonal affective changes. This pharmaceutical-grade product is formulated with a high concentration of the omega-3 essential fatty acid eicosapenatenoic acid (EPA). EPA is a precursor to the eicosanoids, which may affect mood by triggering specific receptors in the brain. It also exerts anti-inflammatory effects that can positively influence mental health.

Omega Protect™ Omega 3-6-9
Omega 3-6-9 is derived from fresh, pure cold-pressed oils of organic flax, borage and deep-water fish. It supports cardiovascular health and helps reduce high blood pressure. This product also relieves joint pain and swelling caused by rheumatoid arthritis and reduces inflammation associated with lupus and endometriosis.

While omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids are also beneficial for overall good health, it is the omega-3 essential fatty acids from fish oil that are most beneficial for your heart. To reduce triglycerides and maintain cardiovascular health, experts recommend consuming 1000 to 3000 mg of EPA plus DHA from fish oil daily. Research has shown that countries with a higher consumption of fish (and therefore, a greater intake of omega-3 fatty acids) have a lower incidence of depression.

Cholestanol™
Cholestanol™ provides a safe, natural and effective way to address hyper-cholesterolemia. Jamieson's Cholestanol™ contains phytosterol complex, which helps to reduce LDL cholesterol, and it contains artichoke extract that helps to increase HDL cholesterol. The added omega-3 complex reduces triglycerides while the antihomocysteine complex of B Vitamins — B6, B12 and folic acid — helps prevent secondary heart disease. Cholestanol™ also contains Coenzyme Q10 to protect against LDL cholesterol oxidation and heart disease
