Childrens Development

Most nutritional experts agree that we all need to eat more oily fish. This is particularly important for babies and toddlers because their brains and bodies are constantly growing and developing. Paradox is one safe and natural way of supplementing your child’s diet with omega fatty acids.

Musculoskeletal System

Records from Hope Hospital, England from 1850 showed that Cod Liver oil was used to relieve painful joints and was requested as a medicine by the “poorer sort”- hence the first food supplement was created. There is little doubt that the omega 3 fatty acids and the Vitamin D in fish oil are effective in restoring and maintaining bone and joint health. Our own research shows mixing pure fish oil with extra virgin olive oil which contains the most powerful natural antioxidants known to mankind further enhances the anti inflammatory effects, giving a synergy to paradox oil.

 

Cardiovascular System

The benefits of the fatty acids and anti oxidants in extra virgin olive oil along with the omega 3 fatty acids from pure fish oil have long been established as having positive effects on cardiovascular health. The benefits include lowering blood pressure, reducing “Bad fats” and cholesterol which clog up arteries, decreasing irregularities in heartbeat and therefore reducing the risk of heart attack and sudden death.

 

The Nervous system and Brain Function

In the last few years research involving fatty acid supplementation has shown increased levels of concentration and academic ability in both primary and secondary school children. DHA is vital for normal brain development in the foetus and for maintainence of normal brain function throughout life, being a major determinant of membrane fluidity in brain cells.Along with EPA this seems to play a major role in normal cognitive function and mood. Diets rich in oleic acid have also demonstrated increased cognitive function in the elderly as well as benefiting patients in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Some research has also shown improvements in patients with mild depression and bi-polar disorder.

 

Prevention of Chronic Disease

There are many epidemiological and research studies to suggest that some of the chronic diseases of western society, ie common cancers, heart disease, diabetes, inflammatory disorders and premature ageing can benefit from supplementation with the right balance of fatty acids and antioxidants. These essential fatty acids and antioxidants cannot be found in the typical western diet, and cannot be produced by human beings- They have to come from our food or through supplementation !
