Fish Oil FAQ's
Sealogix Fish Oil
Supplement FAQ's
What are Omega-3 fatty acids found in Sealogix?
Omega-3’s belong to a group of fatty acids known as long-chain
polyunsaturated fatty acids. Because the body does not
manufacture them, Omega-3's are classified as "essential fatty
acids" (EFA’s), as it is essential they be obtained from food.
There are three important Omega-3 fatty acids: alpha-linolenic
acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic
acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are found in fish, while ALA is found
only in plant foods such as flaxseed meal. The body can convert
ALA into small amounts of EPA and DHA, but recent studies have
indicated that our bodies are somewhat inefficient in this
conversion. Therefore, it is necessary to supplement your diet
with these nutrients in order to significantly change your
levels of Omega-3’s.
What do Omega-3 fatty acids do for the body?
The Omega-3’s EPA and DHA are recognized for their health
benefits in all life stages. They are important building blocks
for every cell in your body, which requires these crucial
components to grow, develop and maintain health.* These fatty
acids are an integral part of cell membranes and are precursors
of several important cellular messengers.* Studies have
demonstrated that EPA is important for optimal brain function
and contributes to the reduction of cellular inflammation.* DHA
has been recognized for brain, visual and nervous system health
and development.* Additionally, these essential fatty acids work
together to contribute to good heart health.*
What is the richest source of Omega-3 fatty acids?
Fish oil is the richest source for eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Cold-water fish, like anchovies,
salmon, sardines, tuna and herring, are considered the best
source for these essential fatty acids. It is important to
remember, that all omega-3's are not created equal. You would
need almost four tablespoons of flaxseed oil to get the same
amount of EPA and DHA found in one teaspoon of Sealogix! That's
approximately ten times as much flaxseed oil than fish oil.
Why should I take a fish oil supplement?
Changes in food preferences and the impact of modern food
processing in Western society have led to a significant decrease
in average dietary intake of Omega-3 fatty acids. As a result,
most American diets contain far more Omega-6’s than Omega-3’s.
In fact, it is estimated that the average American has between
twenty to fifty times the amount of Omega-6’s as they do
Omega-3’s. Recent studies have indicated that this kind of
imbalance can set the stage for a host of health problems. To
promote a healthier fatty acid ratio, it is advisable to avoid
Omega-6’s (which are commonly found in fried foods, commercial
baked goods and some margarines), and eat more baked or broiled
seafood and supplement the diet with a high-quality fish oil
like Sealogix.
What are the health benefits associated with taking Omega-3
EFA’s from Sealogix fish oil?

essential fatty acids helps support:
A Healthy Brain

Why does purity matter with regard to Sealogix fish oil?
Unfortunately, pollution has affected the water quality of all
of our oceans. The contaminants in our waters include toxins
like mercury, PCB’s, arsenic, lead and cadmium. Consequently,
many fish now contain these undesirable elements. That is why it
is very important to choose a fish oil that is molecularly
distilled. Molecular distillation is a process that concentrates
and purifies the fish oil, removing the contaminants. It is also
important to select a fish oil product that is tested for
concentration, toxicity and safety by an independent third
party. Supplementing your diet with a pharmaceutical-grade fish
oil like Sealogix allows you to get the additional Omega-3 fatty
acids you need without worrying about the presence of harmful
levels of pollutants.
I’ve researched many fish oil supplements. What makes
Sealogix better?
Sealogix is an ultra-refined, ultra-concentrated,
pharmaceutical-grade fish oil awarded an IFOS 5-Star rating for
purity and concentration. Because Sealogix is ultra-refined, you
can feel confident you are ingesting one of the purest fish oils
available. And because Sealogix is ultra-concentrated, you
receive more Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA for your money. We
