Seven Seas Healthcare highlights praise for fish oils

Seven Seas Healthcare, a supplier of vitamin products, this week highlighted recent comments made by scientists regarding the health benefits of consuming fish oils.

The firm pointed out a study reported upon by the Daily Mail and conducted by scientists at the University of California, which examined the effects of omega 3 fatty acids on 608 outpatients with heart disease.

Omega 3 was found to decelerate damage to DNA contained in telomeres.

These, the newspaper explained, are the ‘caps’ on the ends of chromosomes which serve to protect against inflammation and other ageing processes.

Nutritionist Dr Carrie Ruxton is quoted by the publication as stating: “If this link between high omega-3 fatty acid levels and reduced ageing is confirmed in other studies, this has important implications for intakes of omega 3 fatty acids.”

Seven Seas Healthcare provides a variety of products that feature omega 3 and cod liver oil as part of its joint care range.
