What type of fish oil are you taking?
Various forms of concentrated omega-3 fatty acids are available on the market: Free Fatty Acids (FFA), Ethyl Ester (EE) fish oil and Triglyceride (TG) fish oil.
This video shows the reaction of Ethyl Ester fish oil placed in a polystyrene cup.
In fact, due to the chimical elements present on it, EE fish oil causes demage to the cup in less than 10 minutes. This is an easy way to determinate what kind of fish oil is used to create your supplements.
Differently from Ethyl Ester fish oil, Free Fatty Acids is easely absorbed (5x) by our body and safer for the patients.

Heart Health with Bio-Marine Plus
How to reduces risk factors in Coronary Heart Disease
All of us want to enjoy good health and an active lifestyle. With advances of medical science and an understanding of health, YOU can craft a future that fulfils, energises and best of all – a healthier You.
YOU need to recognise common health risk factors that put YOUR well-being at risk. Choosing good nutrition supplements for the heart as we get older is smart - it means to prevent risk factors that lead to Coronary Heart Disease (CHD).
What is Coronary Heart Disease?
Heart disease is a broad term used to describe a range of diseases that affect your heart. The term “heart disease” is often used interchangeably with “cardiovascular disease.” Cardiovascular disease refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. CHD can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices.
CHD develops when the major blood arteries that supply your heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients, become damaged or diseased. Cholesterol deposits (plaque) in the blood vessels are called atherosclerosis.
When plaques build up, it narrows your coronary arteries, causing your heart to receive less blood. Eventually, the decreased blood flow causes chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or other coronary artery disease signs and symptoms. A complete blockage can cause a heart attack.
Because coronary artery disease often develops over time, it can go unnoticed until you have a heart attack. But there’s plenty you can do to prevent and treat coronary artery disease. Start by committing to a healthy lifestyle.
Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors
Age - increases the risk of damaged and narrowed arteries and weakened or thickened heart muscle, which contribute to heart disease.
Diabetes - increases risk of heart disease.
Family history of heart disease increases risk of coronary artery disease, especially if a parent developed it at an early age (before age 55 for a male relative, such as your brother or father, and 65 for a female relative, such as your mother or sister).
Gender - men are generally at greater risk of heart disease. Risk for a woman increases after menopause as estrogen levels drop and “bad” cholesterol goes up.
High blood cholesterol levels in the blood can increase the risk of formation of plaques. Plaques can be caused by a high level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, known as “bad” cholesterol.
High blood pressure - uncontrolled can result in hardening and thickening arteries, narrowing the vessels through which blood flows.
High stress - may damage arteries as well as worsen risk factors for heart disease.
Poor diet - fast foods high in fat, salt, saturated and trans fats made during food processing contribute to the development of heart disease. It increases unhealthy LDL cholesterol levels.
Smoking constricts your blood vessels, and carbon monoxide can damage the inner lining, making it more susceptible to atherosclerosis. Heart attacks are more common in smokers than in non-smokers due to nicotine.
Medical experts have long recognised that the unsaturated fats in fish, called Omega-3 fatty acids, help reduce the risk of heart disease and Bio-Marine Plus that has polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) inhibits the formation of blood clots and reduces blood triglycerides that can increase the risk of heart disease.
What is Bio-Marine Plus?
Your heart pumps over 100,000 times each day. Blood and nutrients travel down 550 miles of blood vessels in your body to help you meet the demands of daily life.
Unfortunately, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death among both men and women.
Bio-Marine Plus has Omega-3 fish oil fatty acids of polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs) that are essential as our bodies cannot make them and it must come from food we eat.
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid the most common form of Omega-3, comes from plant sources. Health professionals consider eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to be important to heart health. EPA and DHA Omega-3 are most commonly found in cold water fish namely oily fish like salmon, sardines and mackerel.
Danish researchers H.O. Bang and J. Dyeberg, demonstrated that Greenland Eskimos, who ate fish, generally had better health than the Danish population*.
If you do not eat fish it may be an advantage to take Bio-Marine Plus that has Omega-3 fatty acids to ensure a sufficient intake of these beneficial compounds. Bio Marine Plus provides 70% Omega 3 PUFA (equivalent to 350mg Omega 3 PUFAs per capsule of 500mg in an easily absorbable free fatty acid form).
Free fatty acids in Bio- Marine (Plus)
In nature, Omega-3 fatty acids occur as triglycerides that must be decomposed and broken down into “free” fatty acids before the digestive tract is able to absorb it.
Bio-Marine (Plus) contains Omega-3 in the form of free fatty acids that have already been broken down and are ready for absorption. One advantage of this is it can be absorbed directly by individuals with impaired lipid absorption and also you get more fish oil with fewer capsules.
What does “Plus” stand for?
Besides Omega-3 Bio-Marine (Plus) contains folic acid B9 and vitamin B12. Both vitamins support the Omega-3 fatty acids in contributing to normal homocysteine metabolism and folic acid contributes to a normal immune system, physiological function and blood formation. High levels of homocycteine increase the risk of blood clot formation thus heart attacks or stroke.
Studies have shown that Omega-3 fish oil may help to:
Lessen the development of plaque in the arteries
Reduce the likelihood of heart attack and stroke
Reduces another heart failure for those who survived a heart attack
Lessen the chance of sudden cardiac death in people with heart disease
Joint Health and Mobility - reduces inflammation of joints, stiffness and rheumatoid arthritis by blocking white blood cells that limit joint health
Lower blood pressure
Reduce triglycerides (extra calories converted into fat and found in your blood).
