Avoiding Omega Three Pitfalls

Here are some Omega Three tips for the whole family.

Not all omega-3 (e.g., EPA, DHA) formulas offer the same health support or qualityor meet label claims for active ingredients. And there are often health and safety reasons behind a healthcare professional's recommendations for a specific fish oil supplement, such as OmegaGenics formulas from Metagenics. Discover some important revelations below. 


Concern: Contamination. Some fish oil products may contain excessive levels of harmful toxins, such as heavy metals and polychlorinated biphenols (PCBs). They may also contain potentially harmful bacteria (e.g., salmonella), yeast, and mold.

OmegaGenics Advantage: Purity Guaranteed. OmegaGenics fish oil formulas are produced in Norwegian pharmaceutical-licensed facilities and third-party tested for over 250 contaminants. Plus additional in-house tests for common bacteria, yeast, and mold, as well as testing for shelf stability.

Concern: Rancidity. Fish oil is unstable and can quickly become spoiled and oxidized. Some companies may not test adequately for rancidity in production or take extra steps to protect the product during storage, transport, and normal use.

OmegaGenics Advantage: Antioxidant Stabilized. OmegaGenics fish oil formulas are third-party tested for rancidity and fortified with natural antioxidants to maintain freshness.

Concern: Low Potency. Some products may not actually contain the amount of omega-3s listed on labelscompromising expected benefits and value.

OmegaGenics Advantage: Concentrated Omega-3s. OmegaGenics formulas are tested in-house and by a leading third-party facility to ensure omega-3 content meets or exceeds label claimfor reliable dosing and dependable value.

Concern: Fishy Aftertaste. Omega-3s from fish oil dont have to taste (or smell) like fish to work well.

OmegaGenics Advantage: No "Fishy" Taste! OmegaGenics formulas begin with cleaner oils for a cleaner tasteand natural fruit flavors and enteric-coated options make them taste even better.

Concern: Unspecified Applications. EPA and DHA offer different health benefits when used separately or in combination. Some fish oil products may offer a one-size-fits-all approach, making it difficult to determine ideal use.*

OmegaGenics Advantage: Targeted Formulas. OmegaGenics offers a comprehensive line of 11 omega-3 formulas, including EPA-DHA blends, a concentrated EPA formula, and concentrated DHA formulas. In addition to different dosages, the OmegaGenics line also offers a variety of delivery forms, including liquids, softgels, and chewable gels.

Don't know what the Town ordnance is, but if you live within the Village of Patchogue, I believeRead More there is a "15 minute rule" in the code. Basically, if the dog is barking for more than 15 continuous minutes, it's a violation subject to a fine. Call public safety at 475-1225. Keep in mind it's probably not their first priority (unless the dog has a bad attitude, and is carrying a weapon), but they will be responsive, eventually.
