Dear health conscious friend,
Many of you have talked to me about fish-oil supplements.
Yes! It's one of the MOST IMPORTANT things you could do for your health.
Research shows you should take them every day. because multiple studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids (found in fish-oil) can reduce the risk of heart disease by as much as 68% and are also effective at fighting other inflammatory diseases like Alzheimer and Arthritis. Remember... it's all about inflammation!
But I've also warned that "most fish-oil supplements contain toxins and should be avoided." Well, yesterday on Good Morning America we learned the top 10 selling fish-oil supplements were tested and found to contain elevated levels of PCB's, including: GNC, Solgar, Rite Aid, Nature Made, Walmart, Walgreen, and others.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xyMx8qNmeA Why is that important? Because PCB's were outlawed decades ago. Why? Because PCB's cause cancer!
Lawsuits have been filed against these manufacturers. The "experts" on the show recommended you chose the one with the least amount of PCB's! What? Why not choose on with NO PCB's? Many of these fish-oil products contain mercury as well. I personally know several people who had mercury poisoning from fish-oil supplements they thought they could trust. That's why I totally trust Shaklee science. Shaklee OmegaGuard? - Ultra-pure Fish-oil You Can Trust! If you want all the benefits of fish-oil without the dangerous toxins, Shaklee OmegaGuard? is your best option.
Here are five good reasons why: First, Shaklee goes to the deepest waters off the coasts of Japan to find the purest fish possible
Then, we use a TRIPLE MOLECULAR DISTILLATION process to REMOVE ALL IMPURITIES This unique process actually CONCENTRATES the beneficial Omega-3's, making them even more potent.
OmegaGuard contains ALL 7 Omega-3's (no other product does) You get 1000 milligrams of important EPA and DHA in a single serving
What are the Health Benefits of high-dose fish-oil? Reduces inflammation - which leads to heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer's, Arthritis, and more Makes blood and blood vessel walls ?slippery' to prevent build-up of plaque
Helpful for those with ADD and ADHD (DHA is an omega-3 that is critical for proper brain function) Reduces dangerous triglycerides Aids in weight-loss Balances hormones
What about Fish? Fish contain a lot of toxins (this is where they come from). For this reason, higher amounts of fish-oil are not possible through fish alone. Also -- fish ?muscle' (what we eat) does NOT contain a high concentration
of omega-3s. That's why supplements are the best option -
but you should also try to get fish twice a week -- it's a great source of low-fat protein.
What about Flaxseed? Flaxseed and other plant sources of omega-3s are not as concentrated. They offer a fraction of the amount that marine sources offer. In addition - it is a complicated process for the body to ?convert' the plant fatty acids into omega-3's.
Diabetics cannot make this conversion at all.
How much is enough? The experts recommend 2.5 grams per day as maintenance. Those with chronic illness would bump up to 5+ grams per day (always start small and build up slowly).
What if I'm on Blood Thinners? Studies show that adding fish-oil when already taking blood thinners - does NOT change the time it takes for blood to clot. However, you should consult your doctor.
To your good health, Jeffrey Henderson
