Omega 3 and Fish Oil

Omega 3 essential fatty acids have long been recognised for their significant health benefits. Clinical studies have determined that the main benefits are derived from DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and to a lesser extent EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid).

Although you will receive various healthbenefits from Omega 3's when taken from plant sources such as flax seed, you may miss out on the special benefits from DHA and EPA. This is because your body has to convert the Omega 3's into DHA and EPA. If your health is compromised in any way, or you are elderly this conversion may not take place.

Only fish oils provide DHA and EPA in a natural form that your body can easily assimilate. No conversion is required by the body. However, natural fish oils have a number of drawbacks:

• High levels of contaminants in the form of PCB's, and heavy metals including mercury.
• As most fish oil in capsules does not come from the same country where it is encapsulated it is subject to transport in tankers, additional handling and additives to prevent it from becoming rancid.
• Low levels of DHA which is the most beneficial component of fish oil.

Early in 2003 Xtend-Life recognized these drawbacks and after a year of development, perfected a pure fish oil product that addressed these problems! The result…a pure molecularly distilled fish oil ester with NO CONTAMINANTS with exceptionally high levels of DHA! This was made possible by using a cold deep water New Zealand fish called Hoki. This fish has naturally high levels of DHA which is further enhanced during the purification process. It is caught in the pristine Southern Ocean and is naturally free of contaminants.

Further, because the fish is harvested, processed, and the oil/esters encapsulated in New Zealand under the strictest controls possible there is no risk of contamination due to excessive handling. It has been refined to an 'ester' in order to further improve bio-availability. (The body has to convert the oil to an ester in order to use it)

Because of the purity of this product no additives are needed.

This Xtend-Life product is the most economic means available for consumers to obtain DHA  which is responsible for so many benefits.  Please review the multiple benefits to see how this product can enhance your health. All the benefits listed are supported by published clinical studies. Xtend-Life Fish Oil Information
