Omega Oils and Optimal Health

Omega 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9's belong to a group of fatty acids often referred to as "good fats." The benefits of these oils are numerous--they serve to nourish brain, heart, eye, and kidney tissues, and they have been shown to support a healthy immune system, digestive system, metabolism, and mood.*

For optimal benefit, fish oil must be incorporated into cell membranes. As demonstrated in a human clinical trial, Wholemega has been shown to incorporate into peripheral blood mononuclear cells--allowing the fish oil to provide its beneficial effects.

Additionally, Wholemega has been shown (see chart) to down-regulate inflammatory arachidonic acid (AA), significantly improving the balance of inflammatory AA to anti-inflammatory eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).* Also, preliminary data shows Wholemega may down-regulate inflammatory markers, such as LDL ("bad") cholesterol and C-Reactive Protein.*

A human clinical study (see chart) demonstrates the change of essential fatty acid content (EPA & DHA) in cell membranes (PBMC) after consuming Wholemega:

The Difference is Clear

The dull, yellow hue and watery texture of conventional fish oil capsules is the negative result of heavy processing. This heavy distillation (required to remove contaminants) can fractionate, isolate, and destroy beneficial compounds that give fish oil its naturally vibrant color and clarity.

Wholemega, however, delivers oil that is striking in its color and transparency. The brilliant hue in Wholemega comes from Astaxanthin--an antioxidant that is naturally found in wild salmon.

Wholemega Fish Oil

New Chapter’s gentle extraction process delivers a brilliant hue and preserves beneficial compounds.

"Purified" Fish Oil

Dull, yellow hue caused by chemical processing removes many beneficial compounds.

By using only sustainably caught Alaskan salmon--among the world's cleanest and most pure fish stocks--an extra-virgin, low-heat process is all that's required to produce Wholemega. This process preserves the natural color, clarity, and viscosity of the salmon oil, as well as numerous other beneficial compounds, including natural Vitamin D.

In fact, the oil in Wholemega is so pure and untainted that it's delivered from a food-grade, government-inspected facility. To ensure absolute quality, Wholemega oil is extensively tested for detectable contaminants.

This review is from: New Chapter Wholemega Fish Oil, 1000mg, 120 Softgels (Health and Beauty)

This supplement is good for people who do NOT get enough nuts, greens, and fish on a daily basis.

Wholemega is not a substitute for Omega 3 supplements that provide higher amounts of EPA and DHA.

These capsules are a bit of a challenge to swallow (I recommend something thick like Slimfast or V8) and can give a bit of a fishy aftertaste.

I take both the Wholemega and Omega 3 supplements daily (for a total of 2 grams of Omega oils) but have to watch for low blood pressure and excessive bleeding because I already eat a diet high in salmon, nuts, and greens.

I've only taken the Wholemega for a couple of weeks but the most obvious changes from five years of Omega 3 supplements have been thicker hair growth and fewer problems with osteoarthritis. My heart is healthy and my vision and memory haven't gotten any worse but the supplements haven't prevented recurring skin cancers.

Nutrition Action has a great article online titled "Omega Medicine? - Is fish oil good for what ails you?" Here's their bottom line:

So far, there's decent evidence that DHA and EPA--the omega-3 fats in fish oil--can reduce your risk of a heart attack, but not your risk of cancer, memory loss, or macular degeneration.
- Eat fatty fish like salmon twice a week. That would supply 500 to 1,000 mg a day of DHA plus EPA.
- If you're a vegetarian, look for foods or supplements with DHA from algal oil.
- If you have heart disease, follow the American Heart Association's advice to take 1,000 mg a day of DHA + EPA from fish oil. If you have side effects like burping, take them at bedtime or ask your doctor for a prescription for pure fish oil.
- Taking more than 3,000 mg a day of DHA plus EPA may cause bleeding.

I don't consider myself a health nut but I noticed the benefits of fish oil earlier this year. New Chapter has a great reputation and this pill is easy to swallow ( some of these pills are so large you need a spotter when you take them! ). I don't have any of the dreaded - fish burps, and it appears to be doing a good job. I'll be buying this again.

I love this product! I call it my "happy pill". I have been on different high quality fish oils for a few years. I knew I should take the fish oil for the health benefits but never noticed anything different when I forgot to take it or when off of it for awhile. I tried this product because I had a coupon. Within two weeks, I noticed a huge difference! I didn't have the mood swings I normally experience with my monthly cycle(which is very significant at our house!) and I seemed to have more energy throughout the day. I am on quite a vitamin regimin to help combat my PMS symptoms but this is the first time I have seen such an amazing difference. My whole family agrees that I will not be without this product, so I order this through Amazon's subscribe and save program and save money every month!
