It is now no secret that people all over the western world are turning to high grade ethyl EPA omega 3 fish oil to treat a number of conditions, but can it really work against a problem that knows no boundaries of age, race or gender. It is a condition that affects millions of people at some time in there lives, it's called depression.

EPA and DHA are found in mackerel, salmon, herring, sardines, sablefish (black cod), anchovies, albacore tuna, and wild game. Cod liver oil contains large amounts of EPA and DHA. Fish oil supplements typically contain 18% EPA and 12% DHA, though more purified (i.e., higher in EPA and DHA) fish oil supplements are sometimes available. In addition, DHA is available in a supplement that does not contain significant amounts of EPA. Top

Solar Panel So can high grade ethyl EPA fish oil help with depression and low moods, lets take a look at the evidence. In one study involving 20 people with recurrent depression, researchers studied the effects of the specific omega 3 fatty acid known as pure EPA.

3 oils. The two you may be most familiar with are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanoic acid), water fish such as tuna, salmon, and mackerel. picked seaweed (not a staple of the American diet), plant foods rarely contain EPA or DHA. By contrast, 3, called ALA ( linolenic acid), is found primarily in dark green leafy vegetables, flaxseed oils, and certain vegetable oils, and is easier to include in your diet.

Epa Greenpower Patients involved in this study randomly received either the ethyl EPA fish oil capsule or a sugar pill in addition to the anti depressant medication they were taking. After only four weeks, six out of ten patients receiving EPA had significantly reduced symptoms of depression.

3 PFO Pure Fish Oil is a premium, 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. 3 Fish Oil is extracted from fresh deep sea cold water fish and is derived from fish body oils, not fish liver oils. It has a light juicy orange flavor, with no fishy aftertaste.

Wind Energy The leading researcher in this study Boris Nements said " the effect of the fatty acid EPA was significant from week two of treatment" he also noted that " the symptoms of depressed mood, guilt feelings, worthlessness and insomnia had all improved by week three."

3 fatty acids found in fish oil appears to be a safe and effective treatment for childhood depression…

Solar This particular study was carried out at the University of the Negev in Israel and was published in the American journal of psychiatry 2002.

While those with heart disease and diabetes often benefit from fish oil (the primary source of DHA in the diet), ^{9 10} such people should check with their doctor before taking more than 3 or 4 grams of fish oil per day for several months. Elevations in blood sugar have sometimes been reported, ¹¹ though this may simply be due to small increases in weight resulting from high dietary fish oil.¹² While DHA combined with EPA from fish oil consistently lowers triglycerides, it occasionally increases LDL cholesterol.¹³

Nuclear Power Another very high profile study using the essential fatty acid pure EPA was carried out in Scotland by doctors Peet and horribin. This study involved seventy patients who were suffering from depression that was persisting despite ongoing treatment with standard antidepressant drugs.

Greenpower Inc The study lasted twelve weeks, and the background anti depressant drugs the patients were receiving was not altered during the trial. The results showed that the patients taking EPA showed significant improvement after only four weeks in all symptoms of depression, when compared to the group who were administered a dummy pill.

Solar Electricity This study was published in the Archives of general Psychiatry.

Pure Ethyl EPA

Green Electric Omega 3 fish oil is high in two key compounds DHA and EPA. In both studies mentioned above they used ultra pure ethyl EPA that contained zero DHA. The reason for this was that they found that the purer the compound of EPA then the more effective it seemed to be.

Am Greenpower The brain has much more DHA than EPA but the studies found that EPA is much more important when it comes to responses to nerve stimulation. It appeared that the DHA maybe more important for structure and the EPA for function.
In blood samples taken from the USA, Europe, Australia and Japan they showed that depressed people have especially low levels of EPA, when compared to people who were not suffering from low moods or depression.

Renewable Electricity The lead researches from the study in Scotland both concluded that EPA is the most important essential fatty acid in the treatment of depression.

Green Company These findings are backed up with two randomised controlled trials from Sheffield and Baylor universities involving DHA only which showed no improvements in the symptoms of depression. In fact the results were significant and showed the DHA controlled groups to be slightly worse than the placebo controlled groups.

Led Greenpower Conclusion

Alternative Energy People all over the western world are successfully using pure ethyl EPA without the DHA to treat depression and related disorders.
