USES OF MARINE LIPID Omega-3 fatty acids show a potential antithrombotic effect.

Omega-3 fatty acids show potential antiarrhythmic effects.

Omega-3 fatty acids shows a potential anti-inflammatory effects.

Omega-3 fatty acids reduces prostate tumor growth, slow the histopathological

progression, and increases survival.

n3 fatty acids reduces the occurrence of death, cardiovascular death and sudden cardiac

death by 20%, 30% and 45%, respectively.

Omega-3 fatty acids produced a statistically significant decrease in progression to

Seal oil containing Omega-3 Fatty acid helps to support the development of the brain,

eyes and nerves in children up to 12 years of age.

Omega-3 fatty acids also used in

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD)

Alzheimer's Disease

Autism

Bipolar Disorder

Dementia

MECHANISM ACTION OF 3 FATTY ACID

Arachidonic acid is converted to leukotrienes by the enzyme lipoxygenase (LPO)

and to thromboxane A2 and prostaglandins by the enzyme cyclooxygenase

(COX).

Fish oil containing 3 fatty acid reduces the breakdown of Arachidonic acid to

thromboxane A2 and prostaglandins by inhibiting the enzme lipoxygenase (LPO)

and cyclooxygenase (COX), those showing the potential antithrombotic effect,

potential antiarrhythmic effects, potential anti-inflammatory effect etc.

Fish oil containing 3 fatty acid found to significantly decrease tumor necrosis

factor.

Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you are using any of the following drugs:

Estrogens (birth control pills or hormone replacement)

Blood-thinning medications -- Omega-3 fatty acids may increase the effects of blood

Diabetes medications -- Taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements may increase fasting blood sugar

levels. Use with caution if taking medications to lower blood sugar, such as glipizide

(Glucotrol and Glucotrol XL), glyburide (Micronase or Diabeta), glucophage

(Metformin), or insulin. Your doctor may need to increase your medication dose. These

drugs include:

Glipizide (Glucotrol and Glucotrol XL)

Glyburide (Micronase or Diabeta)

Metformin (Glucophage)

Cyclosporine -- Cyclosporine is a medication given to people with organ transplants.

Taking omega-3 fatty acids during cyclosporine (Sandimmune) therapy may reduce toxic

side effects, such as high blood pressure and kidney damage, associated with this

medication.

Etretinate and topical steroids -- Adding omega-3 fatty acids (specifically EPA) to the

drug therapy etretinate (Tegison) and topical corticosteroids may improve symptoms ofpsoriasis.

Cholesterol-lowering medications -- Following dietary guidelines, including increasing

the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet and reducing the omega-6 to omega-3

ratio, may help a group of cholesterol lowering medications known as statins to work

more effectively. These medications include:

Atorvastatin (Liptor)

Lovastatin (Mevacor)

Simvastatin (Zocor) Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) -- In an animal study, treatment with

omega-3 fatty acids reduced the risk of ulcers from nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

(NSAIDs). NSAIDs include ibuprofen (Motrin or Advil) and naproxen (Aleve or

Naprosyn). More research is needed to see whether omega-3 fatty acids would have the

same effects in people.
