How it works
Omega Joint contains a concentrated dose of EPA for arthritis pain relief
and proactive joint health. It contains 550 mg of EPA compared to 180 mg in
standard fish oil, therefore is three times the strength of standard fish
oil.
Symptoms of osteoarthritis can include inflammation and swelling. Omega-3
fatty acids found in fish oils are generally regarded as having an
anti-inflammatory effect in the human body. EPA plays a role in the
production of the chemical messenger compounds, such as prostaglandins and
leukotrienes, which are important in inflammation. Prostaglandins and
leukotrienes derived from EPA are less inflammatory than prostaglandins and
leukotrienes derived from other fatty acids such as omega-6 fatty acids,
saturated fats and trans-fats.
