DHA promotes cadmium excretion
Docosahexaenoic Acid Promotes Cd Excretion by Restoring the Abundance of in Cd-Exposed Mice.
Moderate relevance to food poisoning
We explored the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on cadmium (Cd) exposure, a common pollutant that risks human health through the food chain. Our investigation focused on how DHA might help mitigate the harmful effects of Cd, particularly by looking at changes in gut microbiota.
The study involved examining mice that had been exposed to cadmium. We observed that DHA significantly boosted the amount of cadmium expelled in feces while reducing the levels of cadmium accumulated in various organs. Our findings highlighted a particularly encouraging increase in Parabacteroides, a beneficial bacteria in the gut that appeared to play a crucial role in this process.
We noted that the representative strain of Parabacteroides not only demonstrated the ability to reduce Cd toxicity but also helped repair gut damage inflicted by cadmium exposure. Furthermore, DHA effectively reduced cadmium levels in organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys, leading to a noticeable increase in cadmium excretion.
Overall, our results suggest that DHA may have significant potential in promoting the excretion of cadmium in instances of exposure. This insight offers a fascinating avenue for considering DHA as a supportive treatment option for handling heavy metal toxicity.

Improved cholesterol levels
30% useful Omega-3 acids PUFA in one capsule has been taken by my family as our diet could be more varied. We trialled this but found that Now Foods' other products offer better alternatives. We carefully examine the composition when selecting omega-3s, focusing on EPA and DHA. The combined content totals 1000 mg, meaning I need to take three capsules, which isn’t very cost-effective, and there's excessive saturated fat. While many dislike the ethyl esters form, we prefer triglycerides. Thanks to Omega-3, my husband’s health metrics improved, his cholesterol rose, and his atherogenic coefficient normalised. Omega-3 works, and we’ll opt for Oslomega next time due to its superior composition.

Great quality Omega! Excellent high-quality omega available at a competitive price. The EPA and DHA levels are ideal, and it's important to take it with food for optimal absorption. Thank you for rating my review!

Lower cholesterol
Now Foods is my preferred brand. I take two capsules daily after lunch and have seen a significant reduction in my cholesterol and triglycerides. I highly recommend using this supplement daily.

Heart performance enhancement
A few months back, I had a heavy neck and rapid heart rate during exercise. After a friend's suggestion, I began taking Omega-3 to enhance heart performance and support eye health. Within days of using NOW FOODS Omega-3, I felt fresher, my breathing improved, and my heart no longer raced during light activities. Many thanks to Iherb & Now Foods!

Cholesterol level normalised
Excellent! My husband, a food lover, was overweight, and his cholesterol was too high. We began a diet and added a complex of vitamins with omega-3. After 2.5 months of taking Now Foods omega-3, he had normal cholesterol levels - it truly works! This product is invaluable and should be taken regularly.
