An abundance of scientific research substantiates the wide-ranging health benefits, including promoting a healthy heart, of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil and monounsaturated fatty acids-polyphenols in olive fruit.1-9
Super Omega-3 from Life Extension® uses a patented EPA/DHA extraction process that results in a pure, stable and easy-to-tolerate fish oil extract. While most fish oil is distilled to decrease contaminants such as mercury and PCBs, the Pure +™ fish oil used in Super Omega-3 is produced with a patented method that purifies the oil with a highly advanced distillation process to reduce pollutants to virtually undetectable levels. The result is an improved fish oil that exceeds the standards set by international rating agencies.
Sesame Lignans Enhance Fish Oil’s In Vivo Effects
The unstable nature of fatty acids like fish oil limits their biological efficacy in the body. Studies show that when sesame lignans are supplemented with fish oil, the beneficial effects are augmented.10
Sesame lignans help guard against lipid peroxidation, thereby extending the stability of DHA in the body. These lignans also direct fatty acids toward pathways which can help with inflammatory reactions. Super Omega-3 provides standardized sesame lignans to enhance the overall benefits of the improved EPA/DHA fish oil blend.
New Higher Potency Standardized Olive Fruit
To emulate a Mediterranean diet, Super Omega-3 provides a standardized olive fruit extract to deliver the polyphenol hydroxytyrosol, a powerful antioxidant that protects normal LDL from oxidation and counters dangerous free radicals.11-14 Research shows that a combination of olive oil and fish oil supplements helps with inflammation better than a placebo or fish oil alone.15 Therefore, Super Omega-3 provides the equivalent polyphenol content of 6 ounces of extra virgin olive oil.
Super Omega-3 provides a new, higher concentration olive fruit extract standardized for hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and oleuropein polyphenols. Research shows the value of oleuropein in favorably altering gene expression, delaying senescence in specialized skin cells, and helping maintain normal platelet activation.
Life Extension’s Super Omega-3 is a fish oil concentrate that contains a full-spectrum blend of synergistic nutrients, providing a product of the utmost quality to produce optimal effects. For those with a sensitive stomach, Super Omega-3 is now also available with enteric coating. |
