Superior source of omega-3 essential fatty acids, EPA & DHA!Promotes heart, brain and joint health.How Does NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA work?
Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated “good” fats found in oil from cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna, or in seeds of flax, walnuts, hemp and other plants. They’re classified as “essential” because your body needs them for complete health, yet cannot produce them on it own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation.
Omega-3 EFAs play an important part in cardiovascular wellness by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure and heartbeat. They’re believed to reduce the “stickiness” of blood cells (also known as platelet aggregation), promoting healthy circulation. The American Heart Association recommends consuming fatty fish at least twice a week, or that omega-3 EFAs be obtained through regular supplementation, for heart health protection.
Omega-3 EFAs may also contribute to neurological, or brain, health. Nearly 60 percent of the human brain is composed of structural fat, a third of which is docosahexanoic acid (DHA). DHA is essential for the proper growth and development of the infant brain, and appears to affect function throughout one’s lifetime. Low levels of this important fatty acid may be connected to increased incidence of poor mood, personality and behavior.
Because omega-3 EFAs can be converted into anti-inflammatory substances (prostaglandins and leukotrines), they’re also believed to provide joint support, promoting flexibility, mobility and potential pain relief.
NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA has been formulated to contain optimal levels of the omega-3 EFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). While typical fish oil supplements contain only 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA, Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA contains 800 mg of EPA and 400 mg of DHA per two-softgel serving.
Mega EFA contains oil from fresh, deep-sea, cold-water sardines and anchovies, harvested from waters off the coast of South America, where there are significantly less environmental impurities. It also undergoes the process of molecular distillation to ensure mercury and any other potential contaminants are eliminated.
Mega EFA conforms to the Council for Responsible Nutrition's (CRN) monograph, which establishes strict quality standards for manufacturing marine-sourced omega-3 EFAs. In addition, it's the only fish oil product on the market to contain USP-Verified ingredients, thus setting the standard for quality.
NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA is better because it:
Contains optimal levels of omega-3 EFA’s, EPA and DHA, together in two easy-to-take softgels.
Is derived from high-quality, molecularly-distilled fish body oil, not fish liver oil.
