Omega 3 Fish Oil to Reduce Inflammation

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Research and anecdotal evidence suggests that many of us who suffer from chronic inflammatory acne may benefit from taking relatively higher doses (1000-1700mg) of purified omega- 3 oils present mostly in wild ocean fish such as salmon, mackerel, cod and herring.

Omega-3 oils are anti-inflammatory and the body utilizes them in many ways. Of particular relevance to acne sufferers, they may help regulate hormones and in addition help to shorten the intensity of your breakout.

Our estheticians have found the supplements to be particularly helpful with the hormonal breakouts around the chin and jawline area that women suffer during their cycle.

Please note: that although there is no known toxicity associated with using fish oils over long term, you should check with your physician particularly if you have a chronic underlying illness or are pregnant.

We now carry a high-quality fish oil supplement Source Naturals to help with your acne. Our fish oil capsules are of therapeutic quality and are enteric coated to help assimilate the omega-3‘s in the most efficient way possible. In addition they are formulated not to have a fishy after taste and are guaranteed burp free.

Please take 1capsule/2 capsules with the lightest meal of the day.
