Anything Under the Sun

This is my early father’s day gift to Rey.  A bottle of Optima Omega by Pharmanex as his dietary suppliment, I got him a supply for six months which will be delivered to our place and with very good discount rate.  Ask me how to get this if you are interested, anyway, it can be delivered anywhere you are in the world.

According to the label, Pharmenex Optima Omega contains combination of the omega 3 fatty acids (including EPA and DHA), deodorized garlic and vitamin e.   This bottle of suppliment has a good amount of Omega 3 fatty acids that will make wonderful job to control or reduce blood triglycerides.  To make it simple and easy to understand, fatty acids helps in promoting normal metobolism.  According to wikipedia “The high level of omega-3 fatty acids consumed by the Inuit reduced triglycerides, heart rate, blood pressure, and atherosclerosis”.

Whoa! I am not a medical person and it pains me to explain how it helps metabolism.  Good thing, we have this friendly wikipedia where I got this explanation here. “Triglycerides, as major components of very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and chylomicrons, play an important role in metabolism as energy sources and transporters of dietary fat. They contain more than twice as much energy (9 kcal/g or 38 kJ/g ) as carbohydrates and proteins. In the intestine, triglycerides are split into monoacylglycerol and free fatty acids in a process called lipolysis, with the secretion of lipases and bile, which are subsequently moved to absorptive enterocytes, cells lining the intestines. The triglycerides are rebuilt in the enterocytes from their fragments and packaged together with cholesterol and proteins to form chylomicrons. These are excreted from the cells and collected by the lymph system and transported to the large vessels near the heart before being mixed into the blood. Various tissues can capture the chylomicrons, releasing the triglycerides to be used as a source of energy. Fat and liver cells can synthesize and store triglycerides. When the body requires fatty acids as an energy source, the hormone glucagon signals the breakdown of the triglycerides by hormone-sensitive lipase to release free fatty acids. As the brain cannot utilize fatty acids as an energy source (unless converted to a ketone), the glycerol component of triglycerides can be converted into glucose, via glycolysis by conversion into Dihydroxyacetone phosphate and then into Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, for brain fuel when it is broken down. Fat cells may also be broken down for that reason, if the brain’s needs ever outweigh the body’s.”

I’ll stop here, my nose is already bleeding….
