Salmon Fish is a superstar-food and arguably the highest quality protein for brain health.
• Salmon Oil is the fat (especially Omega-3s) extracted from oily salmon-fish tissues (or Herring, Tuna Fish, Anchovies, Sardines, Mackerel Fish, etc.) or sometimes from fish liver (such as in the case of Cod Liver Oil).
• The main Omega-3s in fish oil are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), while the omega-3 in plant sources is mainly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
• Wild Alaskan salmon-fish (fresh, frozen, or canned) is the best known source of omega-3 on the planet.
Dangers of Farm-Bred Fish to Your Health!
• Farm-bred Salmon Fish may have at least 10 times the amount of cancer-causing organic pollutants compared to the wild variety, as Poultry feces and animal wastes are used to feed them.
• Farm-bred Salmon Fish contain 11 times higher levels of dioxin (a toxic chemical that can contribute to Cancer and other complications) compared to wild Salmon Fish.
• Farm-bred fish have high concentrations of Anti-Biotics and pesticides. Farm owners give Anti-Biotics to the fish to stave off diseases and farm-bred fish are also treated with pesticides to combat sea lice.
• Farm-bred fish also have lower levels of healthy nutrients (lower Protein and Omega-3 Fatty Acids content).

Cancer & Tumor Prevention
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids can inhibit COX-2 (an enzyme in the body responsible for the development of common Cancers called adenocarcinoma, a high proportion of these Cancers can appear in the Prostate, pancreas and colon) (The journal Nutrition and Cancer).
• Eating foods rich in Omega-3 Fatty Acids seems to reduce the risk of Colorectal Cancer.
• Population-based studies of groups of men suggest that a low-fat diet including Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from fish or fish oil) may help prevent the development of Prostate Cancer.

Cardiovascular System
• Omega-3 fats are a virtual wonder fats for cardiovascular health. Salmon Oil is a rich source of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), that are known to reduce heart disease, improve brain health and reduce inflammation, among others.
• They provide protective effects against coronary heart disease by decreasing blood Lipids (Cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins or LDL, and triglycerides), decreasing blood clotting factors in the vascular system, increasing relaxation in larger arteries and other blood vessels and decreasing inflammatory processes in blood vessels.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids may have anti-oxidant properties that improve endothelial function, lower blood pressure in people with Hypertension and reduce risk of Stroke caused by plaque buildup and blood clots in The Arteries that lead to the brain.
• Clinical evidence suggests that EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), the two Omega-3 Fatty Acids found in fish oil help reduce risk factors for heart disease (The American Heart Association [AHA]).
• Polyunsaturated fats and Monounsaturated Fats lower the risk of heart disease and Stroke, by lowering bad (LDL) Cholesterol levels, triglycerides (associated with heart disease and fight inflammation), blood pressure, while increasing good (HDL) Cholesterol levels, and prevent abnormal heart rhythms and atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of The Arteries).
• Saturated fat from animals raises Cholesterol and causes cardiovascular diseases, while plant-based saturated fats are beneficial to The Heart health.
• Stearic acid (long-chain Saturated Fatty Acid) has neutral effects on bad LDL Cholesterol (or slightly lowers), but may be partly converted to oleic acid (a healthy unsaturated fat) within the body.
• Palmitic acid (long-chain Saturated Fatty Acid) raises the levels bad (LDL) Cholesterol without changing good (HDL) Cholesterol.
• Lauric acid (long-chain Saturated Fatty Acid) reduce the amounts of total Cholesterol relative to its increase of good (HDL) Cholesterol compared to any other Saturated Fatty Acid, thus associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and more health beneficial effects.
• Its a good source of Vitamin E (a powerful anti-oxidant), which lowers the risk of heart disease and reduces the buildup of plaque in coronary arteries.
Foods & Cardiovascular System
Circulatory System
• Fish oil help prevent and treat atherosclerosis (hardening of The Arteries) by slowing the development of plaque and blood clots, which can clog arteries.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids improves blood Lipid patterns, blood vessel function and also reduce risk of sudden death from heart disease by increasing HDL Cholesterol and decreasing triglycerides (fats in the blood).
• Salmon Oil Omega-3 content make nitric oxide (a compound which stimulates the relaxation of blood vessels, leading to improved blood flow and reduced blood pressure).
Note:
* High doses of fish oil and Omega-3 Fatty Acids (more than 3 grams per day) may increase the risk of bleeding and may have higher risk for hemorrhagic Stroke (a potentially fatal type of Stroke in which an artery in the brain leaks or ruptures).
Foods & Circulatory System
Diabetes
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids reduce chance of heart disease in type 2 Diabetes and helps to lower triglycerides and apoproteins (markers of Diabetes), and raise HDL.
Foods & Diabetes
Eye
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids improve the drainage of intra-ocular fluid from the Eyes and decrease the risk of Glaucoma and high Eye pressure.
• Eating it has been linked to helping cure dry Eye syndrome and age-related macular degeneration (a National Eye Institute study).

Immune System
• Salmon Oil Omega-3 content can help suppress the body’s inflammatory response in a variety of ways and may help manage conditions relating to certain inflammatory diseases.
• Its loaded with Vitamin D (the new superstar vitamin that plays a key role in broad spectrum disease protection).
• Its Vitamin E (a powerful antioxidant) content, which helps prevents the oxidation of low-density lipoproteins.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids improves symptoms of immune and inflammatory disorders such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s Disease and some Skin conditions.
• It contain astaxanthin that prevents Lipid peroxidation and assists in mending DNA breakdown. A 200g portion of Salmon Fish contains approximately 1–7mg of astaxanthin and is rarely found in plant foods.
Note:
* Astaxanthin (a natural Carotenoid and the main Carotenoid pigment that imparts the characteristic pink pigment found in aquatic animals such as Shrimp Fish, Lobster Fish, and Salmon Fish in the wild).
* Astaxanthin has stronger anti-oxidant activity than both Beta-Carotene and Lutein (in fact 10 times higher than Beta-Carotene) and can be more than 100 times more effective than Vitamin E.
Astaxanthin has a number of essential biological functions:
1) Protection against oxidation of essential Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, protection against UV light effects, Provitamin A activity, immune response, pigmentation, communication, and improved reproduction.
2) Reduce oxidative Stress and inflammation, thus enhance immune response, exhibit cardioprotective properties, and inhibit Cancer cell growth.

Intestine
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids can help reduce symptoms of two (2) types of inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] (Crohn disease and ulcerative Colitis).
• Salmon Oil Short-Chain Saturated Fatty Acids are formed when friendly bacteria having many potential health benefits ferment Fiber in the colon, thereby responsible for many of the health benefits associated with Fiber intake, such as butyric acid (an important source of nutrition for the cells lining the colon).
• Short-Chain Saturated Fatty Acids formation are promoted by Prebiotics (types of Fiber like resistant Starch, Pectin, Inulin and arabinoxylan).

Musculoskeletal System
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids does not appear to slow progression of Rheumatoid Arthritis (an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation in the joints), only to treat the symptoms (including Joint Pain and morning Stiffness).
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids (and low in the inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids) may help increase levels of Calcium in the body and improve Bone strength and prevents Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis.
• Its also contain bioactive peptides (small Protein molecules, which support the joint cartilage and control inflammation) which helps to reduce symptoms of Arthritis (The American Journal of Gastroenterology).
• Several small studies suggest that EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and fish oil may help reduce symptoms of SLE (systemic Lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune condition characterized by fatigue and Joint Pain). However, two (2) small studies found that fish oil had no effect on Lupus nephritis (kidney disease caused by Lupus, a frequent complication of the disease).

Pregnancy
• The Omega-3 fats found in Salmon Oil may play an important role in proper fetal brain development.
Foods & Pregnancy
Skin Health
• Astaxanthin (a Carotenoid anti-oxidants) found in Salmon Fish can greatly reduce the effects of free radical damage which causes aging.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids which are abundant in wild Salmon Fish can help make the Skin glowing and more supple. Its Anti-Inflammatory effects can also contribute to healthy Skin, thus by consuming Omega-3 one can protect their Skin from sun damage, promote Wound healing and reduce conditions associated with dermatitis.

The Brain & Nervous System
• Salmon Fish vital fats /omega 3 fats (DHA and EPA) makes up the majority of the solid structure of the brain and play a fundamental role in learning and cognition, healthy brain structure and optimal brain function.
• People with lower levels of Omega-3 Fatty Acids have more learning and behavioral problems (such as temper tantrums and sleep disturbances).
• Reduced intake of Omega-3 Fatty Acids is associated with increased risk of age-related cognitive decline and scientists believe that DHA (an Omega-3 Fatty Acid) is protective against Alzheimer’s Disease disease and Dementia.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids can help relieve Depression symptoms and helps protect against postpartum Depression.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids are important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function. Children with attention deficit/Hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have low levels of certain essential fatty acids (including EPA and DHA).
• Salmon Oil Polyunsaturated fats (such as Omega-3 and omega-6 fats) are essential fatty acids that are needed for brain function and cell growth.
• The impact of Omega-3 Fatty Acids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is huge on the CNS (central Nervous System) since it can help repair and enhance neural cell development. DHA is also aid in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzeihmer’s and Parkinson’s Disease) and has been proven to be useful in bringing down the risk.
