Anxiety, hypertension and muscle pain: which supplement can help me?

Hello, I am a 43-year-old woman. What better supplement x help me with my health problems? Anxiety and mild depression that I am treating with medication, hypertension that I am treating with medication, irritable bowel, chronic gastroesophageal reflux, and especially perennial muscle pain in my upper back and neck. I work a very stressful job and unfortunately have a sedentary life. Thank you I also get sick all the time lately and always wake up in the morning in pain and not rested.

Dear Daniela, 

omega-3 fatty acids may be helpful in counteracting symptoms of depression and anxiety; numerous scientific researches have shown a correlation between depressive states and omega-3 deficiency in the blood and have shown that these fatty acids are often scarce in individuals suffering from depression. In addition, the ratio of omega-6to omega-3 concentrations, in plasma, appears to influence the symptoms of anxious states; in particular, increased omega-3 relative to omega-6, is associated with lower levels of anxiety. 

The action of omega-3 EPA and DHA in improving the symptoms of the aforementioned disorders is due to their ability to regulate the production of certain neurotransmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, substances produced by neurons that regulate mood balance and are deficient in cases of depression, anxiety and other mood disorders. In addition, the anti-inflammatory action of omega-3s counteracts the production of inflammatory prostaglandins that are involved in the onset of some mood disorders. 

In light of this scientific evidence, if your medical professional also agrees, I recommend that you try supplementation with Omegor Vitality 1000, a fish oil product rich in omega-3. Each pearl contains 420 milligrams of EPA and 210 milligrams of DHA in the form of triglycerides that are highly assimilable and digestible by the body; 2 capsules of Omegor Vitality 1000 per day provide a daily intake of 1 g of omega-3 EPA and DHA. Omegor Vitality1000 thanks to its composition may be useful to you and to keep anxiety under control, but also to regulate blood pressure, thanks to its vasodilator effect. In addition, the 2:1 ratio of omega-3 EPA and DHA allows you to limit inflammation of muscles and joints by relieving pain. 

I still recommend that you follow a diet rich in vegetables, whole grains and nuts, as told on our blog.
