fish oil concentrate

Fish oil concentrate is a dietary supplement and nutraceutical product derived from the oils of certain types of fish. It is rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids—primarily eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)—which are essential nutrients not synthesized by the human body and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Fish oil concentrate is used primarily to lower triglyceride levels in adults with severe hypertriglyceridemia as an adjunct to diet and exercise. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and may provide benefits for cardiovascular health by reducing risk factors such as high cholesterol and blood pressure. Other studied uses include management of rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and support for eye health. The mechanism of action involves decreasing hepatic production of triglycerides via inhibition of diacylglycerol acyltransferase activity among other effects[2][4][5][6][9].
