The two omega threes (EPA and DHA) are found in fish. The largest concentration of DHA is in the brain. For this reason, it is especially important for brain function and the development of the brain in babies both before and after birth.
Another area undergoing research is the effect of omega threes on the eye. Omega threes help the retina directly and protect the eye from damage. Studies have shown that people with higher concentrations of omega threes in their eyes have a reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration — the leading cause of blindness.
When it comes to heart health, omega threes can lower triglyceride levels and reduce the risk of heart problems. The American Heart Association (AHA) and the American Diabetes Association recommend eating two, four-ounce servings of fish/seafood a week. As a supplement, this equates to about 1000 mg of EPA plus DHA. The 2005 U.S. Dietary Guidelines also makes this recommendation for fish intake. For people with cardiovascular risk, the AHA encourages a daily intake of 1000 mg of these combined omega threes. A good goal is 600-1000 mg a day.
Past and current studies are looking into the benefit of omega threes relative to dementia and Alzheimer’s. Levels of DHA decrease with age and people with Alzheimer’s have low brain levels of the omega threes. Intake of omega threes can improve those levels. One study showed that older adults eating three servings of fish a week lowered their risk of dementia by almost 50 percent and Alzheimer’s by 39 percent. A recent study showed reduced risk of memory loss and stroke as well.
The most important concern when looking for a supplement is the content of omega threes EPA and DHA. The recommendations for intake are based on the combined amount of the EPA plus the DHA regardless of the amount of fish oil. *

Ultra Omega-3 (DUO)
Scientists first discovered the many benefits of marine lipid omega-3 in the early 1970s when physicians observed that Eskimos had an exceptionally low incidence of heart disease and arthritis despite the fact that they consumed a high-fat diet. Research revealed that two of the fatty oils they consumed in large quantities, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, are highly beneficial omega-3 marine lipids. More recent research has established that these marine lipids play a crucial role in the prevention of atherosclerosis, heart attack, depression and cancer. Clinical trials also show that omega-3 supplementation is effective in treating many disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease and diabetes.
An enormous amount of medical literature testifies to the fact that omega-3s prevent and help improve or reverse atherosclerosis, heart attack, congestive heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke and vascular disease. Omega-3 essential fatty acids also help maintain the elasticity of artery walls, prevent blood clotting, reduce blood pressure and stabilize heart rhythm.*
