NanOmega3: Omega 3 Nutrition Made Easy!
Essential fatty acids (EFA) are good fats that can only be obtained in
the diet. These fatty acids not only provide fuel but also effect many
biological processes such as inflammation, immune and brain functions,
and blood lipid levels (triglycerides).
There are two families of EFAs: omega-3 and omega-6. The dietary balance
between these two EFAs strongly affects their functions. An optimal
dietary balance of omega-6 to omega-3 may be 3:1 or even lower. The
Standard American Diet (S.A.D.), rich in omega-6 vegetable oils (corn,
safflower,) and saturated fats, is 10:1 or higher!
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association
(AHA) recommend we consume much more omega 3 fatty acids, while cutting
down on omega-6 EFAs, trans fat (hydrogenated), saturated fat,
cholesterol and fried fats.
The main sources of omega 3 fatty acids in the American diet include
fish, flaxseed and walnuts. Other good, but less common sources include
pumpkin, chia and hemp seeds, canola oil, avocado and blue-green algae (spirulina/
chlorella). Grass fed livestock are also much higher in omega-3 fats
than grain fed domestic livestock.
Therefore, when it comes to a healthy omega 3/6 EFA balance, it is
difficult for most Americans to eat a balanced diet. Because of this,
many health professionals recommend omega 3 dietary supplements and
consuming the new "functional foods" now being fortified with omega-3
EFAs.
Optimum Vegan Omega-3 from Flaxseed and Marine Algae
Omega-3 fatty acids molecules come in short chains and long chains. The
short chain omega-3 is called alpha- linolenic acid (ALA) and its
richest source by far is flaxseed. The long chain omega-3s are called
EPA and DHA. Their richest source is marine algae (DHA), plankton and
the fish that eat them. Both are important for optimal health. It is
generally recommended that at the very least 1-2% of the total calories
eaten comes from omega-3 fatty acids which is equal to a very minimum of
500- 1,000 mg of omega-3 a day.
One serving of NanOmega3 supplies a minimum of 1,000 mg of ALA omega-3 a
day, plus a minimum of 100 mg of DHA from marine algae. ALA can be
converted to EPA, though rates vary. A 20% conversion rate would mean a
serving of NanOmega3 provides the equivalent of 300 units EPA/ DHA a
day. Dietary recommendations for the long chain EPA/DHA omega-3 vary
from a low of 160 to a high of 650 mg a day. Therapeutic doses may be
even higher.
DHA: Vitally Important for Heart, Brain and Eye Health.
Most of the DHA in sea animals originates in single celled marine plants
called microalgae and concentrates in animals as they move up the food
chain. These animals also convert some DHA to EPA.
Like EPA and ALA, DHA supports cardiovascular health and anti-
inflammatory balance. However, only DHA is vitally important for brain,
nerve and eye health as well.
Isolated from marine microalgae under tightly controlled manufacturing
conditions, Life's DHA™ omega-3 is from an environmentally sustainable
and vegetarian plant source, free of oceanic contaminants that may be
present in certain fish or fish oil sources of omega-3's.
Meadow Pure™ Organic Flax
Flaxseed is by far the richest readily available plant source of omega-3
fatty acids. However, immature and damaged seeds are more likely to
oxidize, leading to rancidity. By separating immature and damaged seeds,
coupled with a selective purchasing policy, and special nitrogen sealed
packaging, the patented MeadowPure™ process helps us to guarantee the
stability, freshness and flavor of our NanOmega3 products under normal,
ambient storage conditions.
Organic flax seeds also provide powerful antioxidants, special
phytonutrients (lignans), along with soluble and insoluble fiber,
protein and trace minerals. Indeed, the very high antioxidant acid
content of flaxseeds allows them to act as an additional natural
freshness stabilizer for Martek’s Vegan DHA!
Due to increased awareness of the scientific evidence of these benefits,
flaxseed now qualifies for several FDA approved structure function
claims, including but not limited to:
●
"Promotes cardiovascular health,"
●
"Supports the immune system," and
●
"Promotes general health."
Synergistic Vitamins: B6, Folic Acid, B-12, E & D3 + SuperSorb®
Extra antioxidants from Vit. E are recommended when supplementing with
EFAs. Vitamin E succinate may act synergistically with flax’s naturally
occurring phytonutrient antioxidants like gamma tocopherol and lignans
in supporting breast and prostate health.*
As eating fish is a major source of Vit. D3, 400 IU/ serving have been
added. Vit. D is important for strong bones and teeth and a healthy
immune system.*
Vitamins B6, B9 (Folic Acid) and B12, are added to support energy
metabolism, conversion of ALA to EPA, and to help insure against
deficiency. And our SuperSorb® Enhanced Delivery Systems help make sure
you get the maximum benefit out of every scoop. |
