BiOmegaâ„¢ Fish Oil

Balance of essential fatty acids can help... 

In olden days, many of us heard stories of mothers forcing Cod Liver Oil down their kids throats.

It has historically been given to children because of the high content of vitamin D because vitamin D has been shown to prevent rickets and other symptoms of vitamin D deficiency.  

More recent research on the cell shows that there is a bilayer of fats that act as a gatekeeper … keeping unwanted substances out of the cell and letting the right ingredients in.  In scientific terms this is  bioavailable.  The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids found in fish oil play a significant role in maintaining our good health at the most basic level … the cell!

We need a balance of omega-3 and omega-6 levels, however, the average diet contains more omega-6s.  BiOmegaâ„¢ is a concentrated omega-3 fatty acid supplement.

What else do fatty acids do?

• support joint health
• support healthy neural development
• encourages healthy skin
• when coupled with exercise is more supportive of helping reduce body fat and supporting metabolic health
• may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease
• women of child bearing age would want to supplement with this to support their child’s brain and eye development

The fish oil we recommend is BiOmegaâ„¢.  It is produced from sustainably raised body oil of deep-sea cold water fish species (anchovies and sardines). USANA purifies it to be virtually free of contaminants (like mercury).  It is also fortified with vitamin D and with added lemon flavoring, so there is no fishy aftertaste.
