Ingredients

Omega-3 Fatty Acid Complex – 1,000 mg

The sole ingredients in OMEGA•OIL® are a natural blend of three types of fish oil – sardine, mackerel and salmon body. This blend provides a ratio of two parts eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to one part docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Studies of both of these omega-3 essential fatty acids suggest numerous health benefits.

  • less inflammation1,2
  • better blood flow3
  • better range of motion4
  • prevention and lowering of insulin resistance5,6,7
  • improved cardiovascular and metabolic health8
  • preserved lean body mass9
  • reduced body fat6,8,10
  • increased mood quality11,12

OMEGA•OIL uses only fish oil, as fish oil has been shown to significantly increase EPA and DHA concentrations in the blood, unlike flaxseed oil, which raises only EPA levels and leaves DHA levels unaffected. Also, when fish oils are taken, the total omega-3 composition of red blood cells increases much faster than when flax oil is taken, even when six times as much flax oil is consumed.13
