OmegaMAX - 120 CT

OmegaMAX is formulated to taste like lemon! It provides 820 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) as well as 50 mg of docosapentaemoic acid (DPA) per soft gel as re-esterified triglycerides, the preferred form with superior absorption. Vitamin E and rosemary extract are used to ensure maximum purity and freshness. OmegaMAX has all the benefits of fish oil without the taste of fish!

Clinical Applications

• Supports Cardiovascular Health and Blood Sugar Metabolism (can assist with hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol)
• Supports Cognitive Function and Development (can assist with brain fog, focus, and mood imbalance)
• Supports Healthy Skin, Joints and Connective Tissues (can assist with joint pain and morning stiffness)
• Increases Visual and Ocular Health (can assist with macular aging and visual clarity)
• Maintains Normal Inflammatory Balance (can assist with any autoimmune condition)

Omega-3 fatty acids are deemed "essential" cornerstones of human nutrition because we need them for proper health, but cannot produce them on our own. Therefore, we MUST consume these fats through diet or supplementation. Omega-3 fatty acids are required for a number of body functions, from proper blood flow to brain development. These long-chain fatty acids are integral components of tissues and organ systems throughout the body, including the heart, skin, joints, eyes and immune system.

Since omega-3 fatty acids are known to benefit cardiovascular health, support healthy brain function and cognition, and have also been proven to maintain normal inflammatory balance, achieving the proper balance of omega-3s has become an important health strategy, requiring supplementation for most people.1 The American Heart Association recommends that those concerned about blood lipids take up to 4 g of omega-3 fatty acids per day.2

OmegaMAX is a high-concentration fish oil as re-esterified triglycerides, sourced from waters off the Chilean coast which provides the cleanest, most sustainable source of fish in the world. This exclusive fish oil is purified, vacuum distilled, and independently tested to ensure heavy metals, pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are removed to undetectable levels. Re-esterified triglycerides are the preferred type of fish oil as the human body is accustomed to digesting and absorbing EPA, DHA, and DPA in the triglyceride form. The vast majority of fish oils on the market are in ethyl ester form which allow for higher concentrations of EPA and DHA, but their structure is resistant to digestive enzymes that enable fat breakdown and absorption. A recent study showed that omega-3s in re-esterified triglyceride from are more efficiently digested and 70% more absorbable than omega-3s in the ethyl ester form. 3-4

With over 10,000 published studies in the last three decades, EPA and DHA from fish oil are among the most researched natural ingredients available and have a long history of safety and efficacy.
