Great tasting, suitable for vegetarians
Liquid Omega-3, supplied by Douglas Laboratories, provides optimal levels of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids as a great tasting, pomegranate-blueberry flavored supplement with the texture of a fruit smoothie. Liquid Omega-3 is novel as it does not contain any animal ingredients and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. This delicious supplement is sweetened with xylitol and its nutritionally important omega fatty acids are derived from borage and algal DHA oils as well as organic flax seed oil.
FUNCTIONS
Liquid Omega-3 serves as a pure, natural source of beneficial fatty acids that are often difficult to obtain from a vegetarian diet. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA and ALA), the synergistic gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and the omega-9 oleic acid, Liquid Omega-3 helps restore balanced fatty acid nutrition using only plant based oils.
Typical diets in developed countries deliver large amounts of saturated fatty acids and the polyunsaturated omega-6 linoleic and arachidonic acids, but often not enough of the omega-3 and omega-9 fatty acids. Similar fatty acid imbalances can be the result of consuming very low fat diets. Diets high in linoleic acid (omega-6) and low in omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to promote the formation of potentially undesirable immune mediators, the 2-series prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, whereas diets high in omega-3 fatty acids enhance the formation of potentially desirable prostaglandins of the 1 and 3 series. The omega-6 GLA is thought to down regulate the potentially unwanted actions of excessive dietary linoleic acid. GLA and the omega-3 fatty acids appear to act synergistically in balancing normal immune function. Thus, a balanced dietary intake of all of these fatty acids appears to be necessary to maintain normal immune response. The omega-3 fatty acids also have important functions for visual acuity and possibly in maintaining already normal blood lipoprotein levels.
INDICATIONS
Liquid Omega-3 may be a useful dietary adjunct for individuals wishing to increase their intake of nutritionally important fatty acids.
SUGGESTED USE
Adults take 1 tablespoon daily with meals or as directed by your healthcare professional.
