Suggested Use: Take two softgels twice daily with meals, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
An abundance of scientific research
substantiates the wide-ranging health benefits, including promoting a healthy
heart, of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil and monounsaturated fatty acids-polyphenols
in olive fruit.1-9
Super Omega-3 from Life Extension® uses a patented EPA/DHA extraction
process that results in a pure, stable and easy-to-tolerate fish oil extract.
While most fish oil is distilled to decrease contaminants such as mercury and
PCBs, the Pure +™ fish oil used in Super Omega-3 is produced with a patented
method that purifies the oil with a highly advanced distillation process to
reduce pollutants to virtually undetectable levels. The result is an improved
fish oil that exceeds the standards set by international rating agencies.
Sesame Lignans Enhance Fish
Oil’s
In Vivo Effects
The unstable nature of fatty acids like fish oil limits their biological efficacy
in the body. Studies show that when sesame lignans are supplemented with fish
oil, the beneficial effects are augmented.10
Sesame lignans help guard against lipid peroxidation, thereby extending the
stability of DHA in the body. These lignans also direct fatty acids toward
pathways which can help with inflammatory reactions. Super Omega-3 provides
standardized sesame lignans to enhance the overall benefits of the improved
EPA/DHA fish oil blend.
New Higher Potency Standardized Olive Fruit
To emulate a Mediterranean diet, Super Omega-3 provides a standardized olive
fruit extract to deliver the polyphenol hydroxytyrosol, a powerful antioxidant
that protects normal LDL from oxidation and counters dangerous free radicals.11-14
Research shows that a combination of olive oil and fish oil supplements helps
with inflammation better than a placebo or fish oil alone.15 Therefore, Super
Omega-3 provides the equivalent polyphenol content of 6 ounces of extra virgin
olive oil.
Super Omega-3 provides a new, higher concentration olive fruit extract standardized
for hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and oleuropein polyphenols. Research shows the
value of oleuropein in favorably altering gene expression, delaying senescence
in specialized skin cells, and helping maintain normal platelet activation.
Life Extension’s Super Omega-3
is a fish oil concentrate that contains a full-spectrum blend of synergistic
nutrients, providing a product of the
utmost quality to produce optimal effects.
