Omacor Soft Capsules 28

Omacor is a medicine that contains omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. These are special fats that the body needs to stay healthy. there are actually two types of fatty acid in Omacor: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docoashexaneoic acid (DHA). but don't worry about remembering their full names because they are such a mouth full, most people refer to them as "Omega-3s"

Omacor contains a concentration and highly purified form of these fatty acids and it could be difficult to get the same amount from your diet alone.

The body cannot make Omega-3s (So they are known as "essential" fatty acids), which means we must obtain them through our diet.

Omega-3s are believed to have many effects on the body,
- Including the risk of abnormal heart rhythms
- Reducing triglyceride production by the liver
- Changing the type of atheroma (narrowing of blood vessels due to fatty acids deposits) in blood vessels
- making blood less likely to clot

It is not known how important these effects are in explaining the beneficial effects of Omacor, but a number of studies are under way to improve the understanding of how it works.
