Anyone taking supplements to maintain overall health cannot afford to neglect the inclusion of fish oil as an important part of daily health regimen.
INFLAMMATION CONTROL
Health, brains, beauty and appearance, and general well being are all affected by an individual's inflammation status. We're not talking about the inflammation that sets in when you pick up a sliver in your finger here. That's a "good" inflammation, a temporary condition that helps us fight infection. The destructive inflammation that destroys the body over time is the chronic inflammation that we don't realize we have. Chronic inflammation, a condition most of us are living with, has many causes; oxidants, dietary insufficiencies, prostaglandins, and other factors
Now it's not or purpose here to get into the chemical dynamics of this subject, so we're going to ask you to just take our word that Omega3 DHA Fish Oil counteracts inflammation through the action of two important acids found in fish oil. These are Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA), and Docosahaenoic Acid (DHA). These are essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce by itself.
Chronic inflammation builds so gradually that we can't feel it or see it immediately. One day we wake up with aches and pains, "senior moments," dried out hair, itchy skin, and splitting nails. And we wonder where all those problems came from. The possibility that we're short of Omega3 essential fatty acids is very good.
OMEGA3 FATTY ACIDS
What Are They Anyway?
What are these things? Without getting into the chemistry of the essential fatty acids, it's almost impossible to construct a coherent and understandable answer to that question. DHA, docosahexanoic acid, is without a doubt the most complex and beneficial fatty acid, where the human body is concerned. DHA is essential for the growth and functional development of the brain in infants and is required for maintenance of normal brain function in adults.
Here are the other Omega3 fatty acids, listed in order of complexity and overall efficacy for the body:
EPA, Eicosapentaenoic acid, has 20 carbon bonds, as opposed to the 22 carbon bonds of DHA. This makes it difficult for the body to convert EPA to DHA, because chemically, it has to add two carbon bonds. On the other hand, DHA needs to only drop off two carbon bonds to create EPA, a simpler chemical process. (Sorry about that., we try to avoid technicalities like this.)
ALA, Alpha linolenic acid, is commonly found in flax seed oil. It is almost impossible for the body to manufacture DHA from it because it has only 18 carbon bonds.
DPA, Docosapentaenoic acid also has 22 carbon bonds and works to bolster both DHA and EPA.
DON'T DEPEND ON YOUR FOOD TO GIVE YOU WHAT'S NEEDED!
Consumption of the Omega3 type fats is at an all time low these days. During the process of prepping foods for the market, most manufacturers remove these oils and replace them with pro-carcinogenic omega-6 type fats. In the past, we were able to obtain some omega3 oils from animal products. Animals were left to graze and obtained omega3 fats from the grasses they consumed. In modern corporate farming methods, food animals are fed grains (and sometimes ground up newspapers) which have little or no omega oils in them.
So we're left with getting these beneficial oils from sea food and supplements. And here a problem arises that we need to consider. This is important! Both the mount of Omega3 oils we consume and the ratio of omega3's to omega6's is critical. Remember, Omega-6 fats are pro-carcinogenic! Consuming large amounts of Omega-6's can suppress the entry of omega 3 oils into cancer cell membranes. That's just one of the factors to consider.
SOME OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER
Omega-3's improve immune system function (DHA plays the greatest role in the beneficial effects). Several cancers, including breast, prostate, colon, brain, and lung cancer are related to inflammation. Using drugs to rduce inflammation can slow, and occasionally even shrink hese tumors. Numerous nutrients found in fruits and vegetables dramatically reduce inflammation and accomplish the same things without the side effects of drugs. Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, reduce tumor invasions.
PREVENTIVE AND CURATIVE PROPERTIES
Omega-3 fatty acids, a unique component of fish and fish oils, and to a lesser extent in eggs, have an impressive list of preventive and curative properties. Here are some of them:
Help reduce cholesterol and triglycerides, lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Help reduce fatal heart rythm disturbances.
Reduce the stickiness of blood platelets and the amont of fibrinogen in the blood, reducing the risk of clot formation.
Help reduce the risk of breast cancer and possibly aid in treatment of the disease.
Provide relief from the itching and scaling of psoriasis.
Reduce the body's rejection of tissue grafts.
Aid in the reduction and severity of migraine headaches.
Fight harmful effects of prostaglandins which lower immunity and encourage tumor growth; help prevent breast cancer.
Help prevent arteriosclerosis.
Keep hair, skin, and nails healthy.
Aid in alleviating rheumatoid arthritis.
Improves brain function
Improves joint function
Improves focus, color, perception, and clarity of vision
Strengthens the immune system.
Resistant to allergies; studies show that mothers taking omega-3 fatty acids during pregnancy protect babies against the development of allergies. Protect against symptoms of hay fever, sinus infections, asthma, hives, & eczema, among other conditions.
Fish oil enhances insulin secretion from beta cells in the pancreas, regulating blood sugar levels. DHA p;ays a protective role in diabetic neuropathy in all forms of diabetes.
This list can go on and on...
Omega3 essential fatty acids (EFA's) should be of special interest to cancer patients. Omega3 fatty acids supress tumor growth and tumor angeogenesis. Men who eat the most omega3 oils have the lowest incidence of prostate cancer. Women with the highest DHA levels in their breast tissue have the lowest incidence of breast cancer.
AND NOW - THE TRAP!
Sound too good to be true? Well, it is if you rush out and buy the first fish oil you run into in your local drug store or health food emporium. The depressing fact is that a multitude of manufacturers, seeing a nifty profit in marketing this product, are churning out gallons and gallons of worthless product. The marketplace is inundated with fish oil capsules filled with highly contaminated oils that have had the very life processed out of them and retain little, if any, of the properties for which they are coveted.
To the best of our knowledge, there is only one -that's right, we said ONLY ONE - fish oil available for purchase today that will actually give you ALL of the benefits of this very healthful substance. Every other fish oil product out there appears to have, to varying degrees, some serious negatives. NO, THIS IS NOT OUR OWN PRODUCT, WE HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH ITS MANUFACTURE, AND IT IS NOT FOR SALE ON THIS WEBSITE.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES: Most commercial fish oil compounds have been found to have very poor anti-infammatory poperties.
BIOAVAILABILITY: The degree to which the body can absorb and use the fish oil is critical. What's the sense of spending money on this stuff if your body can't use it? Most fish oils are synthetic triglycerides. Fish oil, to be of any benefit must be in its natural form.
OMEGA3 AND DHA CONTENT; Most commercial fish oils have low concentrations of Omega-3 and DHA.
PURITY: This is where they all, with one exception, fall far short of any standard at all. The fish oil absolutely MUST be tested for any contaminants with supporting evidence proving the testing validity.
FRESHNESS: This must be borne out by test results proving low oxidation levels.
The manufacturers of this fish oil have focused their expertise on improving the anti-inflammatory properties of Omega-3/DHA Fish Oil with amazing success. This product is currently setting standards for fish oil products across the world. In independent clinical studies it has been shown to be two and a half times better than its nearest competitor. The study we're citing here was conducted by Trinity Bioactives, part of the Wellington School of Medicine in New Zealand.
This Omega-3/DHA Fish Oil is the perfect blend of 50% exceptionally pure, natural hoki fish triglyceride oil and 50% highly purified, molecularly distilled ethyl ester tuna oil. The molecular distillation process avoids the high heat which literally destroys the competing fish oil products.
WHAT ELSE SETS THIS FISH OIL APART?
PURITY: This is measured by the amount of heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins present. Fish for the average fish oil product are caught within the major shipping routes, which are surrounded by large, heavily populated land masses.. Other fish oil catches are obtained in areas shared by deep sea oil rigs. A heavily polluted product is the knevitable outcmeof this practice.
The Southern Ocean, off the coast of New Zealand, where the hoki fish used inthis fish oil are caught, is known for its rugged beauty, geographic isolation, and unspoiled waters. This body of water is one of the most remote and purest oceans on earth, with nothing but open water separating it from the nearest land masses, (4800 nautical mies to South America, 5400 nautical miles to Africa). The entire population of New Zealand is only a fraction of one major U.S. city.
And to top it all off this manufacturer, unwilling to limit his standards of purity to this prescribed by generally used international standard, has set his own standards, which exceed all others. To view the tough standards this manufacturer has set, go here and then click on the purity tab.
EXCEPTIONAL FRESHNESS - GUARANTEED: The hoki fish caught for this product are handled with extraordnary care from catch to packaging. Freshness is carefully maintained throughout the manufacturing process. The hoki fish are caught by small fishing boats within seven hours of the processing plant. This is far removed froom the standard procedure of fish caught by large factory ships and frozen at sea for extended periods. The fish are caught in the height of the season and no by-catch is permitted. The fish are maintained in ice as they are immediately transported to the nearest, manufacturer approved processing plant. .
During manufacture, the freshness of the fish oil in the capsule is ensured with the addition of a natural rosemary extract which is a powerful antioxidant, combined with a broad spectrum natural vitamin E oil. The operative word here, as in every supplement, is natural! Synthetics placed in any supplement are slow poison!!
CHECKING FOR FRESHNESS IS RIDICULOUSLY SIMPLE
PUT IT TO THE SMELL TEST!
Cut open a capsule of fish oil. Any capsule. Smell it. You should smell only a very faint, oceanic aroma - or nothing. Masking flavors and fragrances are often added to inferior products. Regard them with suspicion.
BIOAVAILABILITY
The digestive system is probably the most efficient production line known to man. But it is a natural system, designed to process natural substances. It doesn't like artificial or synthetic products. The vast majority of fish oil manufacturers convert the ethyl esters of fish oil back into trigyicerydes, a synthetic form that loses its bioavailability.
We cannot get into the actual chemical processing that occurs here without a lot of tedious and comlex discussion, but the end result is that the body fails to recognize this substance as something desireable and rejects it.
STILL NOT CONVINCED?

All saturated fats, such as butter, have very few links in their atomic chain. These fats are solid fats and remain so. Solid fats are not water soluble because the few links they do have are tightly bound to each other. Because these saturated fats are not water soluble, they are unable to associate with protein in the body and remain insoluble. This insolubility makes it impossible for the body to digest saturated fats and turn them into energy. In order for the body to utilize saturated fats at all, unsaturated fats must be added to the diet. Without unsaturated fats, the saturated fats remain undigested and do not leave the body, resulting in fat accumulation and weight gain.
ENTER THE OMEGA-3s
Omega-3 fatty acids are unsaturated and water soluble due to their many loosely bound links in their atomic chains. Omega-3 fatty acids mix readily with protein in the body, helping in the digestion of saturated fats and turning them into energy.
The ideal form of Omega-3 is Fish Oils, which have 26, 28, or 30 loosely bound links in their atomic chains. The links in fish oils readily break apart in water and are water soluble in the body, making them easy todigest.
Getting fish oil from the diet alone rquires eating salmon or other cold water fish three or four times a week and most of us fail to get enough fish oil from the diet alone. So supplementation makes sense, espewcially for those suffering from the pain of arthritis.
BEFORE BUYING SUPPLEMENTS, CONSIDER THIS
Most brands of capsules or soft gels containing fish oils have had their contents subjected to high heat during processing. That in itself destroys the properties of the fish oils. Many brands also contain solvents such as hexane, an out and out poison! Products like this are worthless at best, and countless dollars are spent by millions of people every year for products that do them no good at all, and in some cases, actually do them harm.
OMEGA-3/DHA FISH OIL
This is the single brand of fish oil with production standards that are set with the consumer's well being in mind rather than that of the fish oil industry. This supplement -
is moleularly distilled, avoiding the heat that destroys it valuable properties.
