Premier Omega Complete

This product is a high-concentration fish oil sourced from waters off the Chilean coast.
As the world’s least industrialized coastline, these cold, fresh waters provide one of the cleanest, most sustainable sources of fish in the world.
This product provides 820 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) per soft gel as re-esterified triglycerides, the preferred form with superior absorption.
Vitamin E, as mixed tocopherols, and rosemary extract are used to ensure maximum purity and freshness.
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.

Extensive research has shown that EPA, DHA and DPA from fish oil enhance cardiovascular health, promote better brain function and support healthy skin, joints and connective tissues.
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.

Overview
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential cornerstones of human nutrition.
They are deemed “essential” because we need them for proper health but cannot produce them on our own.
We must therefore 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.

In nature, omega-3s occur as alpha linolenic acid (ALA), found mostly in plants, and as long-chain EPA, DHA and DPA, which are primarily consumed from coldwater fish.
The body is able to slowly convert the shorter chain ALA to the more active long-chain EPA, DHA and DPA, making a higher dietary intake necessary.
In addition, major changes in modern diet over the last century have led to a decrease in the general consumption of omega-3 fatty acids.
Since omega-3 fatty acids are known to benefit cardiovascular health, support healthy brain function and cognition, and maintain normal inflammatory balance, achieving the proper balance of omega-3s has become an important health strategy, requiring supplementation for most people.

Fish Oil Delivery – Triglycerides vs. Ethyl Esters
While the amount of EPA, DHA and DPA provided in a fish oil product is important for efficacy, the type of fish oil delivered is another significant factor in defining fish oil effectiveness.
The human body is accustomed to digesting and absorbing EPA, DHA and DPA in the triglyceride form.
Even though triglyceride-based fish oils are the preferred form for superior fish oil absorption, the vast majority of fish oil products available on the market are in the ethyl ester form.
While ethyl esters allow for higher concentrations of EPA and DHA to be achieved, their unusual structure is resistant to the digestive enzymes that enable fat breakdown.

Research has demonstrated that omega-3s in the re-esterified triglyceride form are more efficiently digested and therefore more absorbable than omega-3s in the ethyl ester form.

Omega-3 Depletion
An accumulating body of research shows that the typical Westernized diet does not provide a sufficient amount of omega-3s for optimal health.
Additionally, insufficient conversion of ALA to the active EPA and DHA may reduce the amount available for use in organs and tissues.
Symptoms of omega-3 deficiency are common and often overlooked.
These may include dry, itchy or flaky skin, poor sleep quality, poor circulation, eye discomfort and mood imbalance.

Most of the studies over the past three decades have focused on EPA and DHA.
In recent years, however, research has looked at DPA, the intermediate between EPA and DHA, and the role it plays in health.
DPA collects in a variety of tissues, including the liver, breast, brain, eyes, heart and red blood cells.
This, combined with the retroconversion of DHA back to EPA, suggests that DPA may be a reservoir for both EPA and DHA, thus increasing the storage of EPA, DHA and DPA and supporting the beneficial healthy effects of omega-3 fatty acids.
Each soft gel of this product contains 50 mg of DPA.

Cardiovascular and Blood Sugar Health
Omega-3 fatty acids have long been known to benefit cardiovascular health.
EPA, DHA and DPA have been shown to modulate levels of fat in the blood and support healthy blood pressure levels already within the normal range.
Population studies have also reported that omega-3 fatty acids support better blood sugar balance in populations consuming large amounts of long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Additional Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
In addition to their well-known cardiovascular benefits, omega-3 fatty acids play a central role in brain development, mood enhancement, improved cognition, joint comfort and visual acuity.
Omega-3 fatty acids have also been shown to support maternal and infant health.

Mood Enhancement
Research has shown that EPA may help support mood balance.
A double-blind study, which randomly assigned participants with low mood to either placebo, 1 g/day or 2 g/day of EPA, found significant improvement with EPA compared to placebo in balancing mood.

Increased Mental Focus
Omega-3 blood levels have been shown to be directly related to improved measures of cognition, performance and behavior among healthy children with below-average reading ability.

Joint Comfort
Omega-3 essential fatty acids have been found to support joint comfort from exercise or overexertion.
Fish oil has also been shown to support comfort in tender joints and morning stiffness after three months of consumption.

Visual Acuity
Research evaluating the long-term effects of EPA and DHA on visual development found beneficial effects of DHA intake on visual acuity.
Eating oily fish at least once per week has also been found to enhance visual clarity and help support healthy macular aging.
