Omega-3

5 Star Rating Fish Oil Supplement
The body needs fatty acids to survive and is able
to make all but two of them: linoleic acid (LA), in the omega-6 family,
and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in the omega-3 family. These two fatty
acids must be supplied by the diet and are therefore considered
essential fatty acids (EFAs).
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in coldwater fish (and
fish oil), perilla and flaxseed oils, are essential elements of a
healthy diet. Omega-3 oils contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are usually lacking in the typical
Western diet, which is filled with foods containing high amounts of
omega-6 fats. EPA and DHA can be synthesized in the body from ALA, but
EPA and DHA synthesis may be insufficient under certain conditions and
for most people that consume Western diets.
Most Americans and citizens of other Western
nations consume far too many omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids and not
enough omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. In fact, some Western diets
consist of 20 parts of omega-6 to only one part of omega-3. For optimum
health, the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids should be between
1:1 and 4:1.
Studies associate the Mediterranean diet — rich in
omega-3 fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids such as that found in
olive oil, and antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and herbs — with
cardiovascular health and increased life span. Other studies
support omega-3’s importance in cardiovascular health.
Life Extension’s Super Omega-3 is a premium,
scientifically-validated fish oil concentrate, derived from sustainable
sources, that contains a proprietary, full-spectrum blend of synergistic
nutrients to provide scientifically validated cardioprotective health
benefits.
An abundance of scientific research substantiates
the wide-ranging health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil and
monounsaturated fatty acid and polyphenols in olive fruit.
No other commercially available fish oil
supplement contains this level of essential fatty acids, sesame lignans
and olive fruit polyphenols.
Super Omega-3 from Life Extension uses a
proprietary EPA/DHA technology that results in a pure, stable and
easy-to-tolerate fish oil. The Pure+™ fish oil used in Super Omega-3 is
produced with a proprietary technology that purifies the oil with a
highly advanced distillation process to reduce environmental pollutants
to extremely low levels. The result is an improved fish oil that exceeds
the standards set by international rating agencies.
The unstable nature of fatty acids like fish oil
limits their biological efficacy in the body. Scientific studies show
that when sesame lignans are supplemented with fish oil, the beneficial
effects are augmented.
Sesame lignans help guard against
lipid peroxidation, thereby extending the stability of
DHA in the body. These lignans also direct fatty acids toward pathways which can help with
inflammatory reactions. Super Omega-3 provides standardized sesame
lignans to enhance the overall benefits of the improved EPA/DHA fish
oil.
To emulate a Mediterranean diet, Super Omega-3
provides a standardized olive fruit extract to deliver the
polyphenol
hydroxytyrosol, a powerful antioxidant that protects normal LDL from
oxidation and counters free radicals. Research shows that a combination
of olive oil and fish oil supplements helps with inflammation better
than a placebo or fish oil alone. Therefore, four
softgels of Super Omega-3 provide the equivalent polyphenol content of
4
to 6 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
Super Omega-3 provides a high concentration of
olive fruit extract standardized for hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol,
verbascoside and oleuropein polyphenols. Research shows the value of
oleuropein in favorably altering gene expression, delaying senescence in
specialized skin cells, and helping maintain normal platelet activation.
