OMEGA FORMULA
DESCRIPTION
Vitasecrets’ OMEGA FORMULA is concentrated
marine fish oil, providing enriched levels of
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 300 mg) and
docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 200 mg).
Opti-EPA™
delivers high levels of EPA and DHA,
and is lower in saturated fatty acids than regular
marine fish oil. Opti-EPA™
is strictly screened for
the absence of any toxic metals and chemicals, and
is
completely free of cholesterol. The oil is carefully
processed and handled to avoid oxidation.
FUNCTIONS
Typical diets in developed countries deliver large
amounts of saturated fatty acids and the
polyunsaturated omega-6 linoleic and arachidonic
acids and low levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
Throughout evolution, humans were accustomed to
diets providing roughly equal amounts of omega-6
and omega-3 fatty acids. However, during the last
200 years, the ratio of dietary omega-6:omega-3
fatty
acids increased from about 1:1 to 20-25:1. Leading
health professionals now recommend a ratio between
4:1 and 10:1.
A healthy balance of dietary omega-6 and omega-3
fatty acids appears to be a prerequisite for normal
immune function. Dietary linoleic acid (18:2 omega-6) is a precursor to arachidonic acid (20:4) which
in
turn is a precursor for pro-inflammatory
prostaglandin E2
and leukotriene B4,
and platelet
aggregating thromboxane A2.
The omega-3 fatty
acids EPA and DHA provide a natural counterbalance,
because they serve as precursors for the
anti-inflammatory
prostaglandins E1
and E3,
and decrease the formation of
prostaglandin E2
and thromboxane A2.
Among other factors, sufficient dietary levels of
EPA, DHA or other omega-3 fatty acids are also
important in the regulation of normal blood
lipoprotein and healthy cholesterol metabolism.
INDICATIONS
OMEGA FORMULA
is a more convenient source of EPA
And DHA than regular marine fish oils for those who
would like to supplement their diets with higher
amounts of these important omega-3 fatty acids.
