New Uses for Proven Products
Already a big fan of the OneLifeUSA’s products Something Smells Fishy and Proanthocyanidins? There’s a good chance they’re part of your health care routine due to the numerous proven benefits associated with their consumption. With all of the scientific attention these products have received, it’s no wonder new and promising health advantages are being discovered for them.
Something Smells Fishy
As a 100% pure salmon oil gel cap, this product is noted for its omega-3 content. The health benefits of consuming omega-3’s have made news for years. The scientific proof for its heart healthy benefits were so solid the FDA has even allowed heart health claims to be associated with its consumption. Now, new research suggests this product may provide two completely different benefits: appetite reduction and reducing colon cancer.
Appetite control is a new arena for omega-3’s. Researchers examined the effects of omega-3’s along with a low-calorie diet in 232 overweight and obese volunteers. Those taking the omega-3 supplements had a reduction in hunger both after meals and two hours later. Blood analysis indicated that the consumption of omega-3’s were associated with a reduction in appetite.
Also from research headlines comes news of the effects of omega-3’s and fish consumption in reducing the risk of colon cancer. Researchers found the incidence of colorectal cancer could be reduced by 12% by consuming more omega-3 rich fish per week.
Furthermore, the risk of developing the cancer could be cut by 4% for every additional serving of fish consumed per week.
Since people are often reluctant to vastly increase their consumption of fish, taking an omega-3 supplement is often a less expensive and simpler method of increasing omega-3 intake and potentially helping to decrease the risk of colorectal cancer!
Proanthocyanidins
The pine bark extract found in the Proanthocyanidins formula is the particular ingredient being focused on in the following studies. Already well documented are the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of this ingredient. It is also well known for its protective actions associated with the proteins in connective tissue of joints, skin, tendons, and ligaments.
New research now shows suggests benefits associated with painful menstruation and reducing blood pressure in diabetics. A recent study involving 116 women who experienced painful menstruation showed a significant benefit from supplementing with this ingredient. Likewise, another research team demonstrated a benefit in blood pressure control among a group of diabetics (type 2).
