Fish Oil Is Potentially Beneficial for Children With Liver Disease

(Newswire.net — November 10, 2017) Orlando, FL — Today, more and more preventable diseases are impacting millions of people from around the world, including children. Among the prevalent conditions are those that affect the health and function of the liver. While there are medications available for liver problems, there are also natural alternatives believed to be helpful for the condition.

Fish oil may be potentially beneficial for children with liver disease. It contains omega-3 fats, which are health fats essential for brain and body function. Omega-3s are thought to help fight a range of conditions.

“Today, more and more people are using fish oil supplements,” said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

Omega-3 fats have been widely believed to fight a range of inflammatory disorders, hormonal upset, altered immune function, cardiovascular disease, depression, neurological disorders and arthritis.

Intake of omega-3s is believed to aid in the membrane composition of liver cells. It is further thought to play a role in the normal functioning of the membrane, and thus, promote a healthy liver function.

The researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) describe the potential ability of fish oil in aiding children with liver disease to achieve an incredible breakthrough. They also added that the natural alternative could be helpful for those who suffer from intestinal failure.

The study titled “Six Months of Intravenous Fish Oil Reverses Pediatric Intestinal Failure Associated Liver Disease” involved children from 2 weeks to 18 years old. All of them suffered from intestinal failure-associated liver disease. What makes the condition even more alarming is that it could cause early death.

Fish oil was administered via intravenous injections, and the researchers found that it helped reverse liver disease. Many researchers find the results of the study promising since it has the potential to replace liver transplants.

Omega-3s can be obtained from eating fish such as tuna, halibut, herring, sardines, and cod. Eating fish on a weekly basis is highly recommended by experts. They do however warn consumers about choosing the right type of fish due to the high levels of environmental pollutants in the ocean.

Consumers may also take fish oil supplements as they are believed to contain higher amounts of omega-3 fats. Fortunately, many of the most reputable herbal supplement manufacturers use a molecular distillation process.

This process takes care of reducing or eliminating amounts of heavy metals, toxins and environmental pollutants from fish oil. This may make fish oil supplements ideal for individuals who want to consume high amounts of omega-3s without being exposed to environmental pollutants.
