Description
The complete fatty acid profile research contains EPA, DHA, ALA, GLA and oleic acid for maximum effect on inflammation, brain, digestion and longevity. The cheaper the EFA’s or fish oil you purchase, the more potential there are for harmful toxins to be present in the oil. Each oil must go through a process to assure safety and quality. Furthermore, many EFA’s on the market fail to incorporate vitamin E with mixed d-alpha tocopherols for stabilization. This means if you open a bottle, even once, and expose it to air it begins to oxidize, thus losing its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
The majority of high-quality fish oils are a combination of DHA and EPA fats. These are both important for maintaining healthy blood lipids and inhibiting inflammatory and pain chemicals throughout the body. Research has established that increased consumption of EPA and DHA can protect against heart disease and inflammatory conditions. However, to make this work other oils such as alpha-linolenic acid and oleic acid are required. These four oils together with vitamin E are what decrease inflammation, platelet aggregation resulting in plaque.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential cornerstones of human nutrition. They are deemed "essential" because we need them for proper health-much like certain vitamins and minerals but cannot produce them on our own. We must therefore consume these fats through diet or supplementation. Since omega-3 fatty acids are known to benefit cardiovascular health, support healthy brain function and cognition, and have also been proven to maintain a healthy inflammatory response, achieving the proper balance of omega-3s has become an important health strategy, requiring supplementation for most people. The American Heart Association recommends that those concerned about blood lipids take up to 4 g of omega-3 fatty acids per day.
Optimum EFA is a high-concentration fish oil sourced from waters off the Chilean coast. As the world’s least industrialized coastline, these cold, fresh waters provide the cleanest, most sustainable source of fish in the world. Optimum EFA provides 820 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as well as 50 mg of docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) per soft gel as natural triglycerides, the preferred form with superior absorption. To stabilize the oil, vitamin E (as mixed tocopherols) and rosemary extract are used to ensure maximum purity and freshness. This exclusive fish oil is purified, vacuum distilled, and independently tested to ensure heavy metals, pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are removed to undetectable levels. With over 10,000 published studies in the last three decades, EPA and DHA from fish oil are among the most researched natural ingredients available and have a long history of safety and efficacy.
Suggested Use: One soft gel capsule per day or as recommended by your health care professional
