Who Needs OMEGA-3?
Omega-3 has been frequently praised in the press as one of nature’s miracles. Science has backed up much of the praise with hundreds of clinical trials conducted by many of the world’s most prestigious research institutions such as UCLA, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and Columbia.
The list of potential therapeutic applications of Omega-3 fish oil is extensive. If you have concerns about any of the following conditions, you should consider adding an Omega-3 Fish Oil Supplement, like PROMEGA-3, to your daily routine:

Common Omega-3 Supplements
Many people who are not experts with supplements (in general) or Omega-3 (in particular) can easily fall prey to various marketing claims of “value & quality. We are here to help provide you make a simple comparison between the different products. In choosing the Omega-3 Fish Oil supplement that is best for you be sure to look for one that has a EPA & DHA of 2.7gms.
Clinical studies show that a minimum dose of 2.7 grams per day are typically required for anti-inflammatory therapeutic effects. 5 As a result of PROMEGA-3's ultra pure Omega-3 formulation, you now only need to take four softgels instead of nine to obtain this dose.
You also want to be sure that your supplement has been tested by the two of the best independent testing sources available: IFOS & USP. Ultra premimum Omega-3 brand, such as PROMEGA-3, bear an additional cost to ensure 100% safety for you and your loved ones. Each PROMEGA-3 batch is tested by IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) and has received the highest rating (5 out of 5 stars).

When Will I See Results?
 |
|
| “The symptomatic benefit of fish oil can be delayed 2-3 months. It is important that potential users understand that this delay exists.” |
| Arthritis Research and Therapy, 2006 |
|
Some users will experience immediate improvement within the first two weeks. Most PROMEGA-3 users will begin to experience noticeable positive results in 4 to 8 weeks, but in some cases it will take up to 12 weeks.
It takes time for EPA, the primary active ingredient in PROMEGA-3, to fully work its anti-inflammatory healing powers.1-3
Ingredients, Dosage and Directions
Dosage
Each bottle of PROMEGA-3 comes with 120 pharmaceutical grade softgels.
The suggested daily dose is 4 softgels per day for individuals who want to capture the clinically proven anti-inflammatory benefits from PROMEGA-3’s primary active ingredient, EPA.
|
|
| “People who self medicate with fish oil generally take one or two capsules daily. This is insufficient for an ant-inflammatory effect but it may provide cardiovascular benefit.” |
| -Cleland and James, Royal Adelaide Hospital (Australia) |
|
The National Institute of Health reports that clinical trials for chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis commonly use doses with a minimum of 1.7 grams of EPA.4 PROMEGA-3’s suggested daily dose delivers 1.7 grams of EPA and about 2.7 grams of total Omega-3 fatty acids.
PROMEGA-3’s dose is safe and free from serious side effects. The U.S. FDA classifies intake of up to 3 grams of Omega-3 fatty acids as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe). 1
Administration
The daily dose may be taken as two doses (2 softgels taken twice) or a single dose (4 softgels taken at once).
It is recommended, but not necessary, to take PROMEGA-3 prior to a meal with water.
Precaution
Please consult your health care professional if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking any other medications (particularly blood thinners). Read more on precautions.
Storage
Please store PROMEGA-3 at room temperature and out of direct sunlight if possible. Keep out of reach of children.
Antioxidant
Wide spectrum antioxidant protection
Anti-oxidant is a
potent antioxidant dietary supplement that includes
not only antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C and
vitamin E, but also other nutrients that effectively
participate in our body’s antioxidant defense systems.
BENEFITS
Body cells and tissues are threatened continuously by
damage caused by toxic free radicals and reactive
oxygen species (e.g., peroxides) which are produced
during normal oxygen metabolism, by other chemical
reactions, and by toxic agents in the environment. Free
radicals, once formed, are capable of disrupting
metabolic activity and cell structure. When this occurs,
additional free radicals are produced which, in turn,
can result in more extensive damage to cells and
tissues. The uncontrolled production of free radicals is
thought to be a major contributing factor to many
degenerative pathologies.
The body’s antioxidant defense system is more than
the sum of its parts. That’s because antioxidants
depend on each other for ongoing effectiveness. For
example, beta-carotene supports vitamin E, recognized
as the body’s most valuable fat soluble antioxidant. It
prevents oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids by
inactivating free radicals, thus stabilizing and
protecting cell membranes, e.g. in the lungs, eyes, and
arteries.
Vitamin E can be regenerated by vitamin C.
Vitamin C is a potent water-soluble antioxidant
nutrient, also protecting cells from oxygen free radical
damage. It is essential for connective tissue and bone
metabolism, capillary health, and immune function.
Vitamin C works together with vitamin E. When
vitamin E is inactivated by neutralizing free radicals,
vitamin C regenerates it back to full activity. In this
process, however, vitamin C is oxidized and loses its
antioxidant activity. Glutathione reactivates vitamin C,
while selenium and B-vitamins are needed to keep
glutathione effective.
Glutathione is a naturally occurring tripeptide which is
a major component of two anti-free radical enzymes -
glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase. As
such, glutathione offers one mechanism for scavenging
toxic free radicals and inhibiting peroxidation thereby
slowing down free-radical catalyzed chain reactions.
Glutathione can also reactivate (reduce) oxidized
vitamin C. Glutathione per se is well absorbed in the
intestine, and enters the blood and other extracellular
compartments where it exerts much of its beneficial
antioxidant effects. However, it can not effectively
enter the cell.
INDICATIONS
Antioxidant may be a useful nutritional adjunct for
individuals who wish to increase their intake of a
wide spectrum of nutritional antioxidants.
