Pharmanex Optimum Omega is an omega 3 fatty acid supplement, combined with other beneficial ingredients to help support a healthy cardiovascular system. Optimum Omega contains a combination of the finest omega 3 fatty acids (including EPA and DHA), deodorised garlic, and vitamin E. Omega 3 fatty acids are considered "essential fatty acids" because they are vital for health, yet cannot be synthesised by the body. They therefore must be supplied in the diet. Essential fatty acids are necessary for normal growth, healthy skin, arteries, nerves, and for keeping our metabolism running smoothly. Fish oils are excellent sources of omega 3 fatty acids. Two common omega 3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are both present in Optimum Omega.

Omega 3 fatty acids in fish oil are highly unsaturated and may easily undergo oxidation. The vitamin E present in Optimum Omega has antioxidant properties that help prevent the pro-oxidant effects of fish oil, and also provides nutritional benefit. Odorless garlic oil is Optimum Omega's final beneficial ingredient to provide a combination product that supports the cardiovascular system.
