The benefits of fish oil capsules is determined by the composition. It contains essential fatty acids and n6 n3 classes, as well as the two most important fat-soluble substance retinol and ergocalciferol.
Essential fatty acids (EFAs n3) produced by phytoplankton, and the food chain to enter the body of large fish. They are not formed in mammals, so get into the human body can only from the outside. Meanwhile, these substances play a key role in the human body, taking part in the formation of cytoplasmic membranes - places where integrate all of the metabolic processes of the body.
In addition, they synthesize a number of substances that regulate the most important functions of the body - inflammation, blood clotting, immune system, so the lack of them will bring the body to considerable damage.
N3 EFAs include linoleic, eicosapentaenoic, docosahexaenoic acid.
It is associated with EFAs positive effects and benefits of Fish Oil for the vascular system. These substances contribute to making low-density lipoproteins (atherogenic compounds) in high density lipoproteins, preventing the development of coronary disease. This makes it possible to assert that helps Fish oil from atherosclerotic vascular lesions.
Benefits of EFAs n3 is still in the body's production of adiponectin, Reduction in the concentration of which is directly associated with conditions such as the insulin resistance, type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome. Reduced adiponectin proposed as a biomarker of possible development of these diseases. Increasing the concentration of adiponectin, Fish oil prevents the development of these pathologies, bringing the body as a whole undoubted benefit.
It was found that the use of adiponectin production lies in its effect on inflammation in the vascular wall endothelium. This protein prevents the risk of atherosclerotic plaque.
EFAs include ten n6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, the most important of which - linoleic and arachidonic. Their role and importance to the organism studied enough.
It is established that the benefit is:

Thus, the beneficial properties of Fish Oil are to prevent the development of many neurological diseases.
It is very important for the body is the ratio between the n3 and n6, which is responsible for the adequate production of prostaglandins. The role of prostaglandins in the body has been studied quite well.
For the human body is to their benefit participation in the processes of:
- vasodilation
- coagulation;
- nerve transmission;
- hormone synthesis.
Benefits of Retinol, which is found in fish oil, is to participate in the following processes:
- synthesis of substances of the organism immune response (lysozyme, interferon, lysozyme);
- synthesis of sex steroids;
- formation of visual pigment that provides vision in low light conditions;
- synthesis of substances that prevent premature keratinization and epithelial skin desquamation;
- activation of reparative processes in the connective tissue.
Use ergocalciferol (vitamin D) is its involvement in many biochemical processes in the body:
- the main responsible for what Vitamin D - is Ca absorption in the small intestine and reabsortsiya his kidneys, so normalized bone turnover;
- It activates the immune processes, which is why Fish oil can hardly be attributed to purely biologically active additives;
- process prevents demyelination of nerve fibers;
- regulates coagulation;
- inhibits the development of peripheral artery atherosclerosis;
- It stimulates the synthesis of sex hormones.
