Blackmores fish oil capsules are a natural source of marine omega-3 fatty acids.
Taken as a dietary supplement, omega-3 fatty acids appear to provide anti-inflammatory action. They are helpful for the control of arthritis pain and work well taken in combination with Blackmores Joint Formula capsules. People suffering from eczema and psoriasis may also find omega-3 fatty acids supplementation helpful.
Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to help reduce cholesterol and improve blood lipid profiles. They inhibit triglycerides synthesis in the liver and so help to lower fats (triglycerides) in the blood of healthy people, therefore supporting a healthy cardiovascular system.
Some research has suggested that there is a correlation between depression and low blood levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a fatty acid found only in fish oil. Fish oil dietary supplements may be of benefit as an add-on therapy for depression.
Omega-3 fatty acids are also believed to improve learning ability in children.
