  • Depression Medication
    There are many different types of anti-depressants available and the earlier ones include Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors (MAOIs). Newer types include Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and others, which may not fall into one specific category but which all work by impacting on the chemicals in the brain that are responsible for our mood and how we feel.

  • The best Omega 3 sources
    First of all, it might help to have an understanding of what Omega 3 actually is. To put it very simply, Omega 3 is a family of essential fatty acids that we must have to survive, and they are Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). As we cannot synthesise these fatty acids in the body, we have to rely on our diet in order to get them

  • Omega 3 fish oil and inflammation
    Some kind of inflammation is believed to lie behind most diseases of the 21st Century. For example, heart disease, cancer, autoimmune diseases, psoriasis, Alzheimer's and many other conditions are characterised by increased levels of pro-inflammatory markers produced from Omega 6 essential fatty acids found in meat, dairy products, vegetable oils and processed foods

  • Omega 3 fish oil and Alzheimer's disease
    Although no one knows what causes Alzheimer's disease, many research studies indicate that those who regularly eat fatty fish or who supplement with fish oil have a lower risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life. Why this is the case remains an interesting topic of investigation but it is believed to be due, at least in part, to the role Omega 3 fatty acids play in the general functioning of the brain itself.

  • Fish or Fish oil supplements?
    Both fish and fish oil supplements contain important essential Omega 3 fatty acids needed for good health, but as we will see, it isn't just any old fish and nor is it any old fish oil that can do the job properly.

  • Natural skin care with EPA
    Incredible though it sounds, fish oil containing eicosapentaenoic acid or EPA, appears to slow down the ageing process and help us to look younger by protecting the skin and inhibiting the chemical processes that take place when our skin is exposed to damage-inducing stimuli

  • Fish oil and Stress
    It is well known that stress can potentially have a negative effect on both physical and mental health, but recent research conducted by the University of Valencia in Spain indicates that high-grade ethyl-epa fish oil could possibly prevent some of the adverse effects associated with chronic or prolonged stress

  • Omega 3 fish oil and its effect on mood and mental function
    If you have lost your joie de vivre, then there is every chance that you are deficient in the essential fatty acids required for regulating mood and for efficient functioning of the brain. It is now well documented that insufficient Omega 3 fatty acids in the diet not only leads to an increased risk of developing physical health problems like heart disease and atherosclerosis, but also to mood and learning related disorders.

  • EPA Fish Oil - why all the fuss?
    EPA is certainly grabbing the attention of health experts worldwide. A recent study by the Institute of Psychiatry in London and published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, reported that ethyl-EPA was an effective intervention for people with bipolar depression
