Are you “omega-imbalanced?” If you’re like most Americans, the answer is yes!

What does that mean? Essential fatty acids like omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are essential to the cellular function of our bodies.  Omega-6 fatty acids help the body trigger an inflammatory response, necessary for the body to heal. Omega-3s counteract omega-6s to help the body resolve inflammation and keep it under control.  The ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is about 3 to 1, but the American diet, which is heavy on corn-fed meats, saturated fats and processed grains, is estimated to be at about 20 to 1.  (More info here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b46yLkYOO4). The common result is a condition known as chronic inflammation, which has been shown to be a key factor in the start of many serious illnesses including heart disease, diabetes, cancers, rheumatoid arthritis and countless others.

It’s estimated that only one in four Americans are getting sufficient amounts of omega-3s from their diets. This is due to several obstacles, including a dislike of or lack of availability of fish, the prime source of EPA and DHA omega-3s, or concerns about seafood contaminants.

Doctors recommend that those of us in the 75% who are not getting omega-3s from diet should consider a supplement – and consider several factors when choosing one. A group of Yale-affiliated physicians have developed a clear choice: omax3^® The Ultra-Pure Omega-3 Supplement^®.

How are omax3 softgels different?

• omax3 is tested twice for purity and is free of contaminants, such as unwanted saturated fats, mercury, lead or PCBs
• omax3 softgels are 91% (pharmaceutical grade) purity, as opposed to most fish oil supplements which range from about 30% to 60% purity
• The high quality control and purity of the product helps reduce the incidence of “fishy burps,” a common complaint from people who take fish oil supplements
• The Yale-affiliated physicians who developed omax3 reviewed a large volume of research pinpointing the differential effects of EPA and DHA omega-3s; as a result, omax3 Ultra-Pure supplements were formulated with an optimal 4:1 EPA/DHA ratio to help the body achieve the maximum health benefit.
• The omax3 optimal ratio was found in studies to help the body reduce triglycerides without raising bad cholesterol as well as provide a better anti-inflammatory benefit over other omega-3 ratios.
• Higher purity means higher potency! One dose of two omax3 Ultra-Pure softgels offers doctor-recommended daily amounts of omega-3—equal to 16 krill oil capsules, 8 1/2 egg yolks or 90 walnuts!

How pure is YOUR omega-3 supplement?

There are a couple of ways to find out:

1. Use this “Purity Calculator” to see exactly what your percentage of omega-3 fatty acids. Enter the values as shown in this link:  https://www.omax3.com/purity.html
2. Put your fish oil capsules to the “freezer test.” Low purity omega-3 products will often turn white and cloudy when placed in the freezer for 24 hours, but omax3 remains clear. That’s because there are no saturated fats or other impurities in omax3.
