Blackmores Omega Daily is a source of concentrated omega-3 fatty acids
derived from fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids are important building blocks of
every cell in the human body and are essential for normal health and
development. Omega Daily is formulated with highly concentrated omega-3
fatty acids for people who don’t eat enough fish.
Features and benefits

How it works
Fish oil is a source of the omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty acids are
incorporated into every cell membrane in the body, in the form of compounds
called phospholipids. Cell membranes play the vital role of regulating what
goes into, and what comes out of each cell. The integrity and fluidity of
the cell membrane is determined by the type of phospholipid that is
available for the body to use. Cell membranes made up mainly of
phospholipids derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids are more fluid and
function better than cell membranes made up of saturated fat or trans-fatty
acids. A cell membrane working at optimal levels retains vital nutrients and
electrolytes, has the ability to communicate with other cells and is
responsive to hormones.
Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oils are generally regarded as having
an anti-inflammatory effect in the human body. They are important components
of substances known as prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Prostaglandins and
leukotrienes are important in immune function, smooth muscle function,
platelet aggregation and inflammation. Fish oils have an anti-inflammatory
action because prostaglandins and leukotrienes from omega-3 fatty acids have
less inflammatory activity than prostaglandins and leukotrienes derived from
other types of fatty acids.
Fish oil inhibits triglyceride synthesis in the liver and so helps to
lower fats (triglycerides) in blood, therefore supporting a healthy
cardiovascular system.
