All Fish Oils are NOT Created Equal!

The buzz in nutrition right now, is about Fish Oil supplements.

Research shows you should take them every day… because multiple studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish-oil) can reduce the risk of heart disease by as much as 68% and are also effective at fighting other inflammatory diseases like Alzeimer’s and Arthritis. But “most fish-oil supplements contain toxins that should be avoided.”

Well, recently on Good Morning America we learned the top 10 selling fish-oil supplements were tested and found to contain elevated levels of PCB’s, including: GNC, Solgar, Rite Aid, Nature Made, Walmart, Walgreens, and others.

Why is that important? Because PCB’s were outlawed decades ago. Why? Because PCB’s cause cancer!

Lawsuits have been filed against these manufacturers.

The “experts” on the show recommended you chose the one with the least amount of PCB’s!

WHAT? Why not choose one with NO PCB’s or other toxins?

I use Shaklee OmegaGuard™ – Ultra-pure Fish-oil because I can trust Shaklee's research and science. I want all the benefits of fish-oil without the dangerous toxins!

Here are five good reasons why:

First, Shaklee goes to the deepest waters off the coasts of Japan to find the purest fish possible.

Then, use a TRIPLE MOLECULAR DISTILLATION process to REMOVE ALL IMPURITIES

This unique process actually CONCENTRATES the beneficial Omega-3’s, making them even more potent.

OmegaGuard contains ALL 7 Omega-3’s (no other product does)

You get 1000 milligrams of important EPA and DHA in a single serving

What are the Health Benefits of high-dose fish-oil?
• Reduces inflammation – which leads to heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s, Arthritis, and more
• Makes blood and blood vessel walls ‘slippery’ to prevent build-up of plaque
• Helpful for those with ADD and ADHD (DHA is an omega-3 that is critical for proper brain function)
• Reduces dangerous triglycerides
• Balances hormones

What about Fish?
Fish contain a lot of toxins (this is where they come from). For this reason,
higher amounts of fish-oil are not possible through fish alone.
Also -- fish ‘muscle’ (what we eat) does NOT contain a high concentration of omega-3s. That’s why supplements are a good option – but you should also try to get fish twice a week -- it’s a great source of low-fat protein.

What about Flaxseed?
Flaxseed and other plant sources of omega-3s are not as concentrated.
They offer a fraction of the amount that marine sources offer.
In addition – it is a complicated process for the body to ‘convert’
the plant fatty acids into omega-3’s. Diabetics cannot make this conversion at all.

How much is enough?
The experts recommend 2.5 grams per day as maintenance. Those with chronic illness would bump up to 5+ grams per day (always start small and build up slowly).

What if I’m on Blood Thinners?
Studies show that adding fish-oil when already taking blood thinners –
does NOT change the time it takes for blood to clot. However, you should consult your doctor.
