Fatty acids show numerous health benefits according to research

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil have incredible health benefits. These unique, healthy fats promote heart health, help maintain healthy vascular function, support cognitive health, inhibit inflammatory factors that can affect joint comfort, and much more.

Life Extension is now offering Clearly EPA/DHA fish oil formula made with a fresh, International Fish Oil Association (IFOS™) 5-star rated fish oil as pure and clear as the pristine Pacific waters it comes from. Clearly EPA/DHA advanced purification and processing technology results is an ultra-refined fish oil loaded with the healthy omega-3s the body needs to stay healthy and live better.

IFOS™ independently tests fish oils. A 5-Star Rating from IFOS indicates that the fish oil in the Life Extension formula meets the strictest standards for quality, EPA and DHA content, purity, heavy metals, radiation, oxidation, or pollutants like PCBs and dioxin.

Clearly EPA/DHA is refined using state of the art technology strategically located adjacent to the richest fishing grounds in the Pacific. By nearly eliminating "catch-to-capsule" time, we maximize the freshness. Combined with advanced purification processes, this creates a clear super-concentrated fish oil packed with pure, potent, omega-3 fatty acids that offer strong health support for heart, mind, joints, and more.

As a result, this makes for a higher-potency, clear Omega-3 supplement that's also smaller than other fish oil capsule products and makes it easier to swallow.  Clearly, EPA/DHA delivers 1500 mg of EPA and 1000 mg of DHA fatty acids per daily 4-softgel serving. 

Nearly 25 million Americans experience daily physical discomfort, according to the National Institutes of Health, which can affect mood, mobility and quality of life. While the reasons for discomfort vary, the way it is experienced doesn't -- peripheral nerves are responsible for delivering sensory information, such as itch, temperature change and physical pressure to the brain. Knowing this, experts are identifying new ways to promote nerve health and comfort by inhibiting inflammatory compounds in nerve cells, and at the same time, encouraging healthy neurotransmitter levels in the brain. They have discovered that a fatty acid called palmitoylethanolamide (PEA), produced naturally by the body as part of a healthy inflammatory and immune response, inhibits the secretion of inflammatory compounds from mast cells, a type of white blood cell. As we age, our number of mast cells decreases, causing our remaining mast cells to work harder. That can make them overly sensitive, activating inflammatory processes linked to nerve discomfort.

"By inhibiting inflammatory compounds released by mast cells, PEA promotes the body's natural response to uncomfortable nerve stimuli at the cellular level," says Michael A. Smith, M.D., senior health scientist and spokesperson for Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based Life Extension. Smith points out that it is now possible to take PEA in supplement form. One option is Life Extension's ComfortMAX, a dual action nerve support supplement which contains both PEA as well as Honokiol, a naturally occurring lignan compound derived from magnolia that is shown to support "calming" receptors in the brain, known as GABA receptors, which affect the way the brain perceives discomfort. Many experts believe they can be effective in managing how we feel.

"It's only natural to think topically or locally when we wish to inhibit discomfort. However, taking in the bigger picture could mean more effective relief," says Dr. Smith. More information can be found at www.lecomfortmax.com.

Suggested retail price for 120 softgels of Clearly EPA/DHA fish oil formula is $30. Suggested retail price for 30 AM and 30 PM ComfortMAX vegetarian tablets is $44. For special pricing of both products call Life Extension at 800-540-4440 or visit www.lifeextension.com.
