If your knees hurt when you climb stairs, you are not alone. Many people over 50 feel stiffness or pain when going up or down. This can happen because joint tissues wear down with age. Inflammation also increases over time, making it harder to move without discomfort.
Most people try fish oil to help their joints. Fish oil contains omega-3s like EPA and DHA, which are helpful. But what many do not know is that fish oil is missing a third omega-3 that is very important — DPA.
Seal oil is different. It contains EPA, DHA, and DPA, making it a complete omega-3 source.
DPA is important for joint health. A 2013 study in Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids showed that DPA helps the body lower inflammation and repair tissues in blood vessels. This is good for joint comfort and mobility. Unlike fish oil, seal oil also absorbs better in the body because it comes from a mammal. Your body can use it more easily, which means better results with smaller doses.
Health Canada allows omega-3 products that contain enough EPA and DHA to claim they help maintain heart health, reduce triglycerides, and support brain function. These same fatty acids also help reduce inflammation, which plays a role in joint stiffness.
Our Canadian Seal Oil Omega-3 is made from wild harp seals and processed in Canada. It is purified and tested for safety. It gives you all three major omega-3s your body needs, including the rare but powerful DPA.
If your knees feel sore or stiff during daily movement, seal oil may be a natural way to support your joint health as you age.
Feel stronger. Move easier. Take the stairs with confidence again.
