Pharma Nord Bio-Marine Plus(70% Omega 3 Fish Oil)

Essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), are vital to the normal functioning of the body, which belong to several different chemical families. The fat in fish contains so called Omega 3 PUFAs, which differ from Omega 6 PUFAs found in vegetable oils. Omega-3 and Omega-6 PUFAs have different roles in body metabolism. Fish oils contain about 50 different fatty acids, and are the main source of the Omega-3 essential PUFAs eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA levels are very low (or absent) in domesticated land animals. The habitat in which the fish grow has a major influence on their fatty acid composition.

Fish get Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from eating plankton. The colder the water they live in, the higher their Omega 3 PUFA content. Pharma Nord therefore uses coldwater fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel which provide the highest levels of Omega 3 PUFAs.

Each capsule of Bio-Marine Plus contains 500mg of fish oil (in the form of free fatty acids), corresponding to an EPA content of 166mg and DHA content of 118mg, 100microgm of folic acid (equivalent to 50% RDA), and 1microgm of vitamin B12 (equivalent to 100% RDA).

Pharma Nord recommends 2-4 capsules per day or directed by a physician. To be taken with food daily.
