Intravenous Fish Oil Treatments Could Better Treat Patients in Intensive Care
Patients being treated in intensive care units (ICU) in hospitals may see benefits from taking fish oils intravenously, according to a new study.
Findings published in Critical Care, suggest that there are multiple health benefits from receiving intravenous treatments of fish oil. In addition to its calming symptoms, the nutritional supplements have also been shown to reduce inflammatory chemicals and improve gas exchange.
Researchers believe that these results lead to a shorter hospital stay. The study noted that 13 of the 23 patients who were given the treatment developed lower levels of inflammatory agents in their blood, causing them to achieve better function in their lungs. It was noted that these people left the hospital earlier than patients who were given traditional nutrition treatments.
These traditional treatments include soybean oil as opposed to omega-3 fatty acids. The researchers noted that soybean oil is rich in certain acids that cause inflammation.
"This is the first study of this particular fish oil solution in septic patients in the ICU," explained lead author Philip Calder. "The positive results are important since they indicate that the use of such an emulsion in this group of patients will improve clinical outcomes, in comparison with the standard mix."
One of the smallest creatures in the ocean may be the most powerful for your health!
Have you ever heard of krill oil? If you haven’t yet, you likely will soon enough.
Here’s the reason why: Amazing krill oil is one of the most potent “inflammation-busters” ever discovered in Nature. This powerful natural remedy is derived from krill, a tiny shrimp-like creature that’s readily available in our majestic ocean waters.
With krill oil, you can help put an end to dangerous inflammation… soothe your joints… support healthy cholesterol… regulate your blood pressure… improve your sleep… boost your memory and brain power… and much, much more.
The fact is, krill oil is superior to fish oil—even the so-called “Atlantic salmon” fish oil. And unlike fish oil, it’s virtually toxin-free!
To get more details about the remarkable powers of krill oil—the safe and natural anti-inflammatory that’s almost unknown in America.
