Whether or not you are a fan of squid on the plate, there's no denying the potential health benefits found in this oil. Calamarine or Calamari (Squid) oil is a major source of omega 3 fatty acids, essential nutrients required by the body for healthy functioning of different systems.

Studies have found that Calamari oil contains four times more DHA than found in fish oil. DHA has been associated with several health benefits. It promotes heart health by improving HDL (good) cholesterol levels and lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. This in turn reduces the risk of several heart diseases.

DHA is the main component of brain tissue, and regular intake of this vital nutrient helps in promoting healthy functioning of brain and nervous system. DHA supplements are always prescribed during pregnancy, as they are essential to support maternal and baby health.

DHA is also linked with joint health. It promotes the healthy growth and functioning of tissues supporting the joint, for example cartilage, tendon and ligament.

It is anti-inflammatory in nature, and therefore regular intake of DHA supplements can be helpful in treating a variety of inflammatory conditions such as acne, psoriasis, arthritis, Crohn's disease etc.

Squid oil is extracted from the off-cuts of squid being prepared for sale as food, eg from the guts, tentacles etc, so no squid are killed specifically for their oil. Swanson squid oil is sourced from fisheries in Scandinavia, who use lines, not nets, to catch them. In this way, impact on the environment is minimal , and no other marine species are harmed
