NSI Mega EFA® Omega-3 EPA & DHA -- 2126 mg - 120 Softgels

NSI Mega EFA® Omega-3 EPA & DHA -- 2126 mg - 120 Softgels

Highly Concentrated EPA and DHA   . Nutraceutical Sciences Institute offers the largest selection of pure and great tasting omega oils and softgels - Pharmaceutical Grade - Molecularly Distilled with high elemental levels of Omega-3 EPA & DHA, and are purified through molecular distillation to ensure the absence of impurities, including PCBs and heavy metals. All Nutraceutical Sciences Institute products surpass all national and international pharmaceutical standards for freshness and purity, and are free from heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs. Every batch is lab tested to guarantee exceptional freshness and purity levels. How Does NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA work? Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated “good” fats found in oil from cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna, or in seeds of flax, walnuts, hemp and other plants. They’re classified as “essential” because your body needs them for complete health, yet cannot produce them on it own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Omega-3 EFAs play an important part in cardiovascular wellness by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure and heartbeat. They’re believed to reduce the “stickiness” of blood cells (also known as platelet aggregation), promoting healthy circulation. The American Heart Association recommends consuming fatty fish at least twice a week, or that omega-3 EFAs be obtained through regular supplementation, for heart health protection. Omega-3 EFAs may also contribute to neurological, or brain, health. Nearly 60 percent of the human brain is composed of structural fat, a third of which is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is essential for the proper growth and development of the infant brain, and appears to affect function throughout one’s lifetime. Low levels of this important fatty acid may be connected to increased incidence of poor mood, personality and behavior. Because omega-3 EFAs can be converted into anti-inflammatory substances (prostaglandins and leukotrines), they’re also believed to provide joint support, promoting flexibility, mobility and potential pain relief. NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA has been formulated to contain optimal levels of the omega-3 EFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While typical fish oil supplements contain only 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA, Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA contains 800 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA per two-softgel serving. Mega EFA contains oil from fresh, deep-sea, cold-water sardines and anchovies, harvested from waters off the coast of South America, where there are significantly less environmental impurities. It also undergoes the process of molecular distillation to ensure mercury and any other potential contaminants are eliminated. Mega EFA conforms to the Council for Responsible Nutrition's (CRN) monograph, which establishes strict quality standards for manufacturing marine-sourced omega-3 EFAs. In addition, it's the only fish oil product on the market to contain USP-Verified ingredients, thus setting the standard for quality. NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA is better because it:. - Contains optimal levels of omega-3 EFA’s, EPA and DHA, together in two easy-to-take softgels. - Is derived from high-quality, molecularly-distilled fish body oil, not fish liver oil.

The amount of Omega 3's you NEED, May 27, 2009
By FoxyReba from New Hampshire

"I went to a nutritionist last year and she advised me to take Omega 3's, which I was already doing. When she informed me that most products do not contain the amount needed to have a beneficial effect, I was surprised.
You should look for a combined total of 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA. Most products will say they have 2,000 mg of Omega when it doesn't actually consist of that much DHA and EPA. Look at the labels! It makes a world of difference and this product has it. No fishy burps afterwards either! Bonus!!"

"If I could give this product 6 or 7 stars I easily would. Let me start by saying I've tried probably about 10 different brands of fish DHA/EPA supplements. This one is the most potent (by far) in terms of active constituents and is a stunning value. Best of all, they are coated with a natural strawberry flavor which masks 99% of the fish smell. Even better, it is the only DHA/EPA product out of 10+ that I've *ever* used that has never produced a single fishy burp! I might go so far to say that this is one of the best products on this site."
