OMEGA 3 - For A
Healthy Cardiovascular System!
Heritage Omega-3 essential fatty acids set a new
standard in high purity, high stability, and high potency marine lipids! The
National Cancer Institute's Designer Foods Program targets omega-3 fatty acids
as food components of choice.
Hundreds of supplementation studies have revealed that fish-rich diets and
fish oil supplementation produce powerful anti-platelet (blood thinning),
anti-inflammatory, immune system strengthening and tumor modifying effects.
Some of these studies show Omega-3 acids are exceptionally adept in
strengthening the cardiovascular system. High fish consumption among the
Eskimos has increased their resistance to cardiovascular disorders. Scientists
found that "the more fish the [Eskimo] ate, the fewer deaths due to heart
disease, and the lower the total death rate." Heritage Omega-3 contains the same
oils which the Eskimos consume. Our Omega-3 oil is derived from cold water fish
taken from unspoiled regions of the northern seas.
Most commercial fish oil concentrates display only a modest total percentage
(30-40%) of the desired fatty acids, Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Heritage Omega-3 offers a minimum of 80% Omega-3
fatty acids in the ethyl ester form. We have not used flaxseed oil often found
in other products because several human trials with flaxseed oil have shown that
it converts into EPA and/or DHA with less speed and efficiency than fish oil
products. Heritage Omega-3 requires no metabolic conversion.
Essential fatty acids are necessary for the formation of each cell membrane.
Strong cell membranes protect cells from invading toxins, bacteria, viruses and
allergens.
They are also essential for the formation and balance of prostaglandins.
Prostaglandins are hormone-like regulator substances that are produced and
utilized by every cell in the body. Prostaglandins regulate the cardiovascular
system, reproductive system, immune system, and central nervous system.
Omega-3 oils are also beginning to make headlines in regard to their benefits
in the mental/emotional realm. In a presentation for the American Psychiatric
Association, it was demonstrated that Omega-3 oils may be an effective
nutritional aid for those with bipolar disorder. In short, DHA in the Omega-3
is of critical value to the communication process of each cell in the brain.
Heritage Omega-3 may be useful for pregnant and lactating women, those
needing to improve cardiovascular health or in any kind of athletic training, as
well as those desiring to improve the health of their nervous system.
Suggested Adult Use:
Adults, from 3-6 capsules per day, or as recommended by a health professional.
Testimonials:
"I am here to give you my personal testimony on the Omega-3 product. In April,
1994 I was divorced and developed a skin condition called Psoriasis. Over the
period of 6 yrs the condition got extremely horrible. It started off in little
patches under my armpit area, elbows, knees, belly and it covered my scalp with
very thick scales. I had spend hundreds of dollars on all sorts of cremes and
ointments over the counter and also prescription steriods and pills. None of
which has worked for me. My head was so bad that I started losing handfuls of
hair on a daily bases to the point that I was wearing baseball caps.
I had totally given up hope. I figured it was something I would have to just
live with. My husband told me that it was okay that he loved me for who I am not
what I look like. When I had talked with Brande on the phone and told her my
condition, she told me that I should try the Omega-3. One the conference calls
from many people who also had the same condition I did told me to try the
Omega-3. I can't tell the way I feel about my outer appearance now. My skin is
so much better. I can now wear anything I want, I can BARE ALL :) I used to
either wear my hair in a ponytail and ball cap on or just let it hang down to
cover my hairline around my face because all you could see what white sores
around my scalp. I am so thrilled that I am comfortable about my
appearance now. THANK YOU TREMENDOUSLY HERITAGE FOR YOUR OMEGA-3 PRODUCT.
