The key to wellness is controlling silent inflammation.Silent inflammation can go undetected for years and affects heart, brain and immune function.
According to the clinical literature, increased Omega-3 fatty acid levels in the blood have been proven to positively impact cardiovascular disease, help control silent inflammation, retard growth and development of certain cancer cells, slow the progression of Alzheimers disease, significantly enhance brain function, and assist in managing neurological disorders.
Specifically, clinical work has shown that reaching certain levels reduce the risk of death from heart attacks by up to 70% and manages silent inflammation, a precursor for many illnesses and diseases.
