| An abundance of scientific research
substantiates the wide-ranging health benefits of omega-3
fatty acids in fish oil and monounsaturated fatty acids-polyphenols
in olive fruit.1-9
Life Extension’s Super Omega-3 contains 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 new Super Refined® fish oil used in
Super Omega-3 is produced with a patented method that
purifies the oil with an intense two-step 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.
Scientific studies show that when sesame lignans are
supplemented with fish oil, the beneficial effects are
augmented. 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.
Newly 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.10-13
Research shows that a combination of olive oil and fish oil
supplements helps with inflammation better than a placebo or
fish oil alone.14
The new Super Omega-3 provides an olive
fruit extract standardized for hydroxytyrosol and oleuropein
polyphenols. Brand new 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 the only
fish concentrate that provides a full spectrum blend of
synergistic nutrients to provide optimal effects. |
