Patients with rheumatoid arthritis who took fish oil (Omega-3) experienced marked pain relief to the point where many were able to stop taking prescription anti-inflammatories without experiencing a flare-up of their disease. That was the conclusion of a scientific study published by the Division of Rheumatology of the Albany Medical College.

In my own orthopedic practice, I believe the regular intake of Omega-3 for patients with arthritis substantially reduces the amount of pain felt, increases range of motion, and decreases the need for anti-inflammatory medications that may have unwanted side-effects. When my patients brought in the Omega-3 capsules they were taking, I found a wide variation in the quality and effectiveness. This is why I decided to market my own brand incorporating all the features that I know make a quality product and give the best chance for long-lasting pain relief.

The active ingredients in fish oil are the Omega-3s. The two Omega-3 fatty acids, abbreviated as EPA and DHA, are the two substances responsible for controlling inflammation. Cheaper discount-house products commonly have less of these active ingredients. The Knee Center Omega-3 has 2,000 mg. in each serving, including 800 mg. of EPA and 400 mg. of DHA. We also include Vitamin-E as an additional antioxidant that supplies approximately 67% of your daily value. Only four capsules per day provide you with arthritis-strength power.

The Knee Center Omega-3 is also molecularly distilled. This removes potential toxins normally found in fish. The Knee Center Omega-3 is actually pharmaceutical grade without a prescription. Most common fish oil sold in discount houses is not purified. You can be assured that The Knee Center Omega-3 does not contain metals, PCBs, and other toxins. You should take Omega-3 for the rest of your life, and you will not be subjected to dangerous chemicals.

The Knee Center Omega-3 is also enteric-coated with a fresh lemon taste. My patients have not reported any problems such as difficulty swallowing, "fishy" after taste, or gastrointestinal irritation after taking The Knee Center Omega-3. That's because our capsules dissolve in your intestine for maximal absorption.

The Knee Center Arthritis-Strength Omega-3 is one of the strongest, safest, and palatable products made. It should provide you with substantial relief from the pain of arthritis, along with the additional benefits of Omega-3 due to its anti-inflammatory effect on the brain and heart. At The Knee Center, we believe that two to four capsules a day of The Knee Center Arthritis-Strength Omega-3 has all the benefits and none of the drawbacks that can be associated with many prescription and non-prescription arthritis medications.
