Posted by Michael Byrd on Oct 28 2009 | Tagged as: Fish Oil
Most people are aware that omega 3 fatty acids can play a major role in helping maintain health health, memory function and general immune competency. However, because few doctors will officially prescribe this dietary supplement – although many freely admit that they take it themselves – many people are reluctant to add omega 3 fish oil to their daily vitamin and supplement routine. As a result, studies are constantly being conducted on the safety of fish oil supplements and the beneficial effects of an omega 3 routine.
One of the most recent studies took the investigation to a new level by tracking how omega 3 impacted triglyceride levels in patients and how omega 3 might potentially benefit HIV positive patients by improving their immune function (Clinical Infectious Diseases, vol. 41, pp. 1498-1504, 2005). The study, concluded that the results were so promising that further investigation was warranted, and more involved studies are currently underway. These results demonstrate just how powerful omega 3 supplements can be: they actually could improve the functionality of mortally compromised systems. If you want to boost your own immune system, then talk to your doctor today about adding omega 3 to your daily dietary regimen.
