OMEGA FORMULA
Marine lipid Concentrate
Price: $44.99 for 200 Softgels

DESCRIPTION
Omega Formula is concentrated marine fish oil, providing enriched
levels of eicosopentaenoic acid (EPA, 180 mg) and docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA, 120 mg). Omega Formula delivers twice the levels of
EPA and DHA, and is lower in saturated fatty acids than regular
marine fish oil. Omega Formula is strictly screened for absence
of any toxic metals and chemicals, and is completely free of cholesterol.
The oil is carefully processed and handled to avoid oxidation,
as indicated by consistently low peroxide values. Vitamin E is
added as an antioxidant.
FUNCTIONS
Typical diets in developed countries deliver large amounts of
saturated fatty acids and the polyunsaturated omega-6 linoleum
acid and arachidonic acids and low levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
Throughout evolution, humans were accustomed to diets providing
roughly equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. However,
during the last 200 years, the ratio of dietary omega-6:omega-3
fatty acids increased from about 1:1 to 20-25:1. Leading health
professionals now recommend a ratio of 4:1 and 10:1.
A healthy balance of dietary fatty acids appears to be a prerequisite
for normal immune function. Dietary linoleum acid (18:2 omega-6)
is a precursor to arachidonic acid (20:4) which in turn is a precursor
for pro-inflammatory prostaglandin E2 and leukotriene B4, and
platelet aggregating thromboxane A2. The omega-3 fatty acids EPA
and DHA provide a natural counterbalance, because they serve as
precursors for the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins E1 and E3,
and decrease the formation of prostaglandins E2 and thromboxane
A2.
Among other factors, sufficient dietary levels of EPA, DHA or
the omega-3 fatty acids are also important in the regulation of
normal blood lipoprotein and cholesterol.
INDICATOINS
Omega Formula is a more convenient source of EPA and DHA than
regular marine fish oils for those who would like to supplement
their diets with higher amounts of these important omega-3 fatty
acids.
