Fish oil from deep cold waters is naturally rich in the important Omega-3 Fatty Acids, EPA and DHA.
While studied primarily for cardiovascular health, EPA and DHA have been studied for a lengthy list of benefits: prevention of heart disease and atherosclerosis, reduction of high blood triglycerides, prevention of heart attacks due to irregular heartbeat reduction of high blood pressure, reduction in rheumatoid inflammation, improvement of skin diseases: dry skin and psoriasis, improvement of mental diseases such as attention deficit disorder (ADD), aggression and depression, improvement of multiple sclerosis, diabetes and Crohn's disease and increased brain development in children and fetuses.
Pure and natural.Sourced from non-farmed cod, anchovy, mackerel and sardine caught in the cold waters off Norway's arctic sea and Chile's Pacific coast.
Safe:Omega-First capsules are molecularly distilled for purification and analyzed to ensure compliance to the CRN (Council for Responsible Nutrition) monograph for heavy metals, dioxins, and PCB's.
No fish after-taste:Omega-First gelcaps have a pleasing natural lemon flavour to prevent fishy after-taste.
Stable:Natural antioxidant base including rosemary and vitamin E.
Independent Testing:Omega-First capsules have been tested for potency, safety and freshness by the IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) organization and have been rated at the maximum five star level ("exceptional product batch").

DHA
Docosahexanoic acid is an omega 3 essential fatty acid. It is an essential component of the brain and central nervous system. It seems to concentrate in areas where there is lots of electrical activity such as the synaptosomes, where nerve cells communicate, and the photoreceptors of the eye. This is why a deficiency of DHA can result in poor brain development, attention/deficit hyperactivity disorder, learning disorders, memory problems and poor visual development.
Supplementation of DHA is especially important in pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and children. Some infant formulas are now fortified with DHA because, in the past, formula has contained less essential fatty acids than breast milk.
DHA can be taken in through the diet by eating fish or fish oil. The body can also convert alpha linolenic acid (ALA), from vegetable sources like flaxseeds, into DHA. However, the standard North American diet is deficient in essential fatty acids, especially omega 3s and very few individuals have enough excess ALA to meet the body's need for DHA. Supplemental DHA is usually made from tuna, salmon, herring, mackerel or sardines. These fish contain more omega 3 rich fat than other fish species. Cod liver and halibut liver oils also contain some omega 3s but are primarily used for their vitamin A and D content. Some newer fish liver oils have been fortified with DHA and may be an economical choice for those individuals taking both DHA and liver oils.
DHA supplements are found as liquid oil (processed to remove the fishy taste), soft gel chewables (flavoured) and standard soft gel capsules. Children favour DHA liquids and flavoured soft gel chewables. Fish liver oil supplements should be used cautiously in children, pregnant and nursing women because of the toxicity of fat-soluble vitamins.
Ensure your fish oil supplement is not processed with heat because it damages the acids and creates free radicals. It is important to purchase a good quality DHA supplement that has been tested for contaminants. Refrigerate all liquid DHA supplements and keep capsules away from heat to increase shelf life. Using liquid DHA is much more cost effective than capsules because numerous capsules must be taken to make an equivalent amount of liquid oil.
EPA
Eicosapentaenoic acid is an omega 3 essential fatty acid. It is an important fatty acid in the maintenance of cardiovascular health and the regulation of inflammation. EPA is a precursor to a series of chemicals whose job it is to regulate the inflammatory effects of arachidonic acid. Too much arachidonic acid leads to pain and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis.
Arachidonic acid also causes inflammation in arteries and leads to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. Deficiency of EPA can result in cardiac arrhythmias, high cholesterol and excessive aging. EPA has been used to treat heart disease, arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
