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 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 coldwater 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 its 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 400 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA per one-softgel serving. Mega EFA contains oil from fresh, deep-sea, coldwater sardines and anchovies, harvested from waters off the coast of South America. 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 EFAs, EPA and DHA, together in one easy-to-take softgel. Is derived from high-quality, molecularly distilled fish body oil, not fish liver oil. . Did You Know? All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them. . . Related Links. Fish, olive oil, nuts good for eyes too, more studies find.

"PRETTY GOOD VALUE WITH THE AMOUNT OF CAPSULES YOU GET FOR THE MONEY. CANT REALLY TELL YOU WHAT THE RESULTS ARE BECAUSE OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS ARE MORE ALONG THE LINES OF A SUPPLEMENT, WHICH HELPS PROTECT YOUR INTERNAL ORGANS. IT DOESN'T GIVE YOU MORE ENERGY OR TRANSFORM YOUR BODY. CAN'T TELL YOU MUCH MORE ABOUT THEM BEING AS I DONT KNOW THE ACTUAL SOURCE WHERE THEY ORIGINALLY CAME FROM. UR BEST BET IS TO GO WITH FRESH WILD FISH.."

"HIgh potency and low price but I can tend to burp up fish taste with this more than the one I was getting from my trainer. He says the purer the fish oil the less you taste it later. I would say this is in the mid range for that."

"Upon hearing how toxic our seas are we scaled back to just shrimp, salmon and tuna occasionally. These help bridge the gap since the FDA recommends eating HEALTHY fish at least twice per week. We are too far inland to accomplish that so these really do help immensely."

"I haven't seen a difference in my health since I've started using these but I don't have alot of health issues. Here in ND we don't get enough fish since we live so far from the coast, so it is important to take this supplement. I like that it doesn't taste fishy or give you the burps. I will continue to take these knowing the health benefits."
