The modern diet has seen a drastic reduction in the intake of omega-3 fatty acids, compounded by a significantly greater intake of omega-6 fatty acids. This is problematic as many of our tissues rely on fatty acids for proper synthesis and communication. If the appropriate fatty acids are not available, the implications for overall health are serious. A relative deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids can lead to a pro-inflammatory state and increase the risk of chronic disease.
The active compounds responsible for the widespread benefits of fish oil supplementation have been identified as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Although both are important for various aspects of human health, EPA is generally regarded as the anti-inflammatory fatty acid while DHA is more responsible for neurodevelopment and nerve protection.
EPA and DHA have been clinically studied in a variety of health conditions. For instance, supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids have been found to be beneficial for cardiovascular health, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmunity, cognition, mood, skin health and atopic concerns, to name just a few clinical indications. Simply put, EPA and DHA should be considered for addressing any systemic inflammatory condition.
One challenge that arises with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation is poor compliance. Most supplements require several capsules or teaspoons per day to achieve an evidence-based dose of combined EPA and DHA. Cyto-Matrix’s Omega-D3 Liquid Forte solves this problem by providing 1900mg of EPA and 900mg of DHA in only a single teaspoon. These omega-3 fatty acids, sourced from wild North Atlantic sardines, anchovies, mackerels and menhaden, are provided in the well-researched ethyl ester form, allowing for evidence-based, extremely concentrated and cost-effective delivery. Each serving also includes an additional 1000IU of vitamin D3.
Omega-D3 Liquid Forte is molecularly distilled, without the use of chemicals or solvents, to ensure purity and the removal of harmful compounds such as heavy metals and organophosphates. Rosemary extract and mixed tocopherols are added to the formula and every bottle is capped with nitrogen, all to protect against and prevent oxidation.
With a 230ml bottle size, your patients receive 46 servings for ongoing support.
