How TunaCap works

Arthritis is a common chronic systemic inflammatory disease that results in progressive disability. Early disease is characterised primarily by inflammation of the synovium (the inner membrane of the capsule of the synovial joints) as the disease progresses the patient suffers destruction of cartilage and bone. Since there is no cure, management is aimed at relieving pain and improving or maintaining joint function.

Fish oils containing n-3 fatty acids (omega 3 fatty acids) have been reported to decrease pain and stiffness in arthritis. The n-3 fatty acids found in fish oil namely Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) have the ability to suppress the production of inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines; and suppress the production of cartilage degradative enzymes.

Most other capsules on the market contain Cod liver oil, however these also contain vitamin A as they are extracted from the fish livers. It is well documented that vitamin A can cause toxicity problems. Consequently the consumer may take in excessive quantities of vitamin A which may cause potential health issues. The tuna oil is extracted from the body of the fish and consequently the level of vitamin A in the tuna oil is negligible.
