Daily Intake Of Fish Oil - Omega 3

Studies report that the daily intake of fish oils is unique to Icelanders. It starts with small children and continues with even the oldest adults. Taking the "golden oil of the sea" - Omega-3 fish oils unusually rich in essential fatty acids EPA and DHA - every day is at the center of their remarkable longevity and health.

Scientific studies from around the world demonstrate that EPA and DHA have a profound impact on maintaining good health, helping to prevent and control serious health disorders, including heart disease, cardiovascular disease, and numerous autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Key findings include:

1. EPA & DHA - essential for good health. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is necessary to create prostaglandins to promote superior cardiovascular health and optimal cell membrane formation. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is vital for proper development and functioning of the brain, eyes, and autoimmune system.

2. Promotes arterial flexibility: Omega-3 fatty acids promote the flexibility and elasticity of coronary arteries. Without Omega-3, artery walls can become hard, with microscopic cracks and pockets that can become receptacles for life-threatening cholesterol.

3. Fights joint disease: Omega-3 fatty acids maintain cell and joint suppleness, even decreasing pain and tenderness and the need for anti-inflammatory drugs.

4, Increases brain function: Omega-3 promotes neurotransmission in the brain, and increases intellectual capacity.

5. Positive effect on cholesterol: Omega-3 helps increase HDL ("good" cholesterol), and decrease LDL ("bad" cholesterol).

6. Lowered triglycerides: No other natural compound to date seems to be more effective than Omega-3 to lower triglycerides, a major risk factor for heart disease.

7. Reduced risk of blood clots: Omega-3 lowered fibrinogen, which converts to fibrin, the main component of blood clots and thrombi, which can cause heart disease.

8. Lowered chance of heart attack: Lipoprotein(a) which contributes to myocardial infarction is markedly reduced by intake of Omega-3.

9. Recommended for diabetics: Omega-3 fish oils provide all these positive benefits without risk of increasing blood sugar.

10. Fights signs of aging: Skin is one of the fastest reproducing cell networks in body and needs Omega-3 fatty acids to replenish and maintain the optimum cellular moisture balance. Without these essential fatty acids, skin cells age prematurely.

The healthful benefits of Omega-3, also known as poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), have been shown to increase the longer you take it.

The recommended intake is approximately 1,000 mg daily, but higher doses can be taken for the treatment of specific disease problems upon the direction of your health advisor.

Icelanders are living proof of the importance of Omega-3 fatty acids, and as USANA Biomega is proven the PUREST and CHEAPEST in the market, now you can take the same Omega-3 as Icelanders.

USANA’s BiOmega™ Fish Oil Supplement Approved By ConsumerLab.com

SALT LAKE CITY—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 17, 2008—USANA Health Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA), today announced that its BiOmega™ fish oil supplement was evaluated and approved by ConsumerLab.com, LLC. A leading provider of independent product test results and information, ConsumerLab.com helps consumers and healthcare professionals evaluate health and wellness products.

ConsumerLab.com reviewed BiOmega as part of a larger evaluation of dietary supplements sold in the United States that claim to contain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). Products were tested for their omega-3 levels; mercury, lead and PCB contamination; and signs of decomposition. BiOmega received an approved rating in all three testing categories. The review can be found on the company’s Web site at www.consumerlab.com.

ConsumberLab.com stated in its product review that the quality of fish oil and other omega-3 supplements is an important issue because supplement levels vary depending on the source and method of processing. Fish also can have accumulated toxins that could potentially contaminate a supplement. USANA uses a double molecular distillation process to manufacture its BiOmega supplement, ensuring the highest possible purity from mercury, PCBs, pesticides and other heavy metals.

“We are happy to see the results from the ConsumerLab.com trial, but we are not surprised,” said Dr. Tim Wood, USANA executive vice president of research and development. “These results confirm our extensive in-house testing. USANA is committed to only the highest quality manufacturing and analytical testing systems and practices. We are very pleased to receive independent confirmation of the quality and purity of BiOmega from this test.”
