Omega

Omega 3-6-9 oils are a combination of three types of essential fatty acids. "Essential" means that the body does not produce the fatty acids on its own and therefore they must be taken in through the diet. The standard North American diet is deficient in essential fatty acids, especially omega 3s.
Every cell needs essential fatty acids for its cell membrane where the fats make the important barrier that lets other molecules into and out of the cell.

Without the healthy fats cells become porous and chemical or nutrient imbalances can occur. The essential fats also produce chemical messengers, such as hormones, in the body thus, omega 3-6-9 oils help to optimize hormone levels in both men and women. Essential fatty acids have been used to treat eczema, psoriasis, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, atherosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, menopause and PMS. They also improve hair and skin, prevent blood clots, improve memory and regulate hormone levels.

There are three categories of EFAs, omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9. Vegetable-based combination oils usually contain alpha-linolenic acid, ALA, for omega 3, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), for omega 6 and oleic acid, for omega-9. The sources of the oils are several of the following: flaxseed, borage, black currant, hemp, pumpkin seed, primrose, sunflower or safflower. Some combination oils include fish oils derived from fish such as herring, cod, mackerel, tuna or salmon. These oils give the added benefit of containing docosahexanoic acid, DHA, and eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA, two other types of omega 3 fatty acids.

Ensure your omega 3-6-9 supplement is not processed with heat because it damages the acids and creates free radicals. Some of the damaged fats turn into trans-fatty acids, which are well known for their promotion of cardiovascular disease. Refrigerate all liquid 3-6-9 supplements and keep capsules away from heat because they can become rancid. Using liquid EFAs 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.

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.

FAQ

What do MorEPA softgels consist of?

Minami Nutrition fish oil capsules contain EPA and DHA only from South-Pacific deep-sea fish. Only GMP-certified fish oil is used in MorEPA and all other supplements.
MorEPA is an ideal supplement for those who need a maximal dose of EPA. MorEPA contains up to 95% omega-3 per one sofgel. Compare to all average fish oil supplement that is on the market today.

What are EPA and DHA, Emotional balance with MorEPA.

MorEPA consists of two very important omega-3 fatty acids; it contains low levels of DHA and high levels of EPA. EPA and DHA are vital for the creation and renewal of cells and for the health of our cells in general. Because our whole body consists of cells, a deficiency of EPA and DHA has a negative effect on all our body parts: our bones, our blood, our organs, skin, hair and our brain.

How safe is MorEPA?

Very safe. Contrary to other fish oil supplements that contain contaminating substances such as PCB's dioxins, organochlorine pesticides and heavy metals, MorEPA does not show any traces of poisonous substances.

A strict purification process
The purification processes that guarantee the remarkable concentration of omega-3 fatty acids, also assure that impurities that are often found in fish, even in farmed fish, are eliminated. Impurities such as mercury, PCB's, dioxins and DDT are removed through a series of highly technological processes such as SVE/SVC techniques (supercritical liquid extraction/chromatography), at a low temperature (lower than 50C).

A protective dose of Vitamin D
MorEPA contains a protective dose of vitamin D which helps maintain normal bones and the normal function of immune system and muscles.
