Omega 3
Brand: Pfizer Centrum Pronutrients
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active ingredients in Pfizer Centrum Omega 3 are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids integrate into cell membranes, enhancing fluidity and signaling. DHA is a structural component of the brain and retina, supporting cognitive function and vision. EPA modulates inflammatory pathways by competing with arachidonic acid, potentially lowering triglyceride levels and supporting cardiovascular health. The concentrated fish oil delivery ensures high bioavailability for these cellular processes.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports healthy heart function and circulation
- Promotes cognitive health and memory retention
- Contributes to normal vision and eye maintenance
- Helps maintain balanced triglyceride levels
Usage & Safety
The recommended dosage is 2 softgels daily, taken with food to maximize absorption and minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. Do not exceed the suggested dose. Consult a healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing, taking anticoagulants (like warfarin or aspirin), or using other EPA/DHA supplements, as this may increase bleeding risk. This product is not intended for children.
