Omega-3 fatty acids that are harvested through sustainable fishing practices, short lived small fish low on the food chain that are less likely to be exposed to toxins and wild sourced (less saturated fat, and no antibiotic or hormone residues). Optimal 2:1 ratio EPA to DHA.
Supports
-
Cardiovascular Health -atherosclerotic burden, reducing triglyceride levels and blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmias, and improving platelet and vascular function
-
Brain Health
-
Health - asthma, eczema, inflammatory bowel disease, pregnancy and breastfeeding support, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative disease.
Feature Ingredients
- The pharmaceutical grade omega-3 blend, USP verified for quality and consistency of the fish oil
- Free from lipid peroxides and environmental pollutants including heavy metals, pesticides, dioxins, PCBs and other harmful compounds
- Sourced from wild anchovies, sardines, and/or mackerel, some of the best natural sources of EPA and DHA
- Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil improve a number of cardiovascular risk factors, including lowering of atherosclerotic burden, reducing triglyceride levels and blood pressure, and improving platelet and vascular function.1-4
- Not only do these fatty acids modulate risk factors, but controlled clinical trials have shown them to be effective in preventing cardiovascular events, cardiac death and coronary events, particularly in persons at high risk.5
- Additionally, omega-3 fatty acids have been associated with reduced all-cause mortality, sudden death, myocardial infarction, as well as stroke.6,7,8
- EPA and DHA are essential to the resolution of inflammatory processes as well as tissue repair, by providing the substrates for anti-inflammatory prostaglandins, resolvins, and protectins.9,10 These essential fatty acids are incorporated into membrane phospholipids, affecting cellular membrane organization, ion permeability, intracellular signalling, gene expression, and the activity of membrane-associated proteins.11
- Benefits have also been shown for improving overall health, including a wide variety of cardiovascular, inflammatory, and autoimmune conditions, ranging from asthma, cardiac arrhythmias, eczema, and inflammatory bowel disease, to pregnancy and breastfeeding support, rheumatoid arthritis, and neurodegenerative disease.12-17
-
Purified fish oils are free of many contaminants, such as heavy metals and PCBs, which continue to be a growing problem associated with the consumption of fish.18

Individuals with an allergy to fish or seafood should use caution, though fish oil is rarely allergenic. Both benefit and risk has been documented for those at risk of or being treated for cardiac arrhythmias, with close supervision indicated.15 Pregnant and nursing women are often advised to consume a minimum of 300 mg DHA per day, and although DHA is recognized as essential to neurological development, no dosage recommendations have been made for children or infants. Supplemental vitamin D should be used with caution in those with sarcoidosis, lymphoma, tuberculosis, hypercalcemia or renal impairment.16
The antihypertensive effect of fish oil and/or vitamin D may potentially reduce the need or dosage for blood pressure medications, and patients should be closely monitored. Because fish oil has an antithrombotic effect, caution is advised for those on anticlotting, antiplatelet or anticoagulant medications, or those at high risk of bleeding.17 At doses greater than 3 g per day, hyperglycemia has been observed in diabetics and those with hypertriglyceridemia and close monitoring of patients on antidiabetic medication is recommended. Vitamin D may increase the risk for hypercalcemia when taken with a thiazide medication (diuretic).18 Benefit has been shown when fish oil is taken with statins, SSRIs, anticonvulsant and cytotoxic medications.19,20
Side Effect Risks
Discontinue use and consult a healthcare practitioner if symptoms persist, worsen or you develop any reactions which may include: allergy or intolerance. Keep out of reach of children. Sealed for your protection. Do not use if seal is broken. For freshness, store in a cool, dry place.
