NutraSea Omega-3 from Ascenta offers great-tasting ultra-pure omega-3 and omega-3 supplements without the fish. Made from pure, sustainably sourced fish or plant-based ingredients, our NutraSea and NutraVege Omega-3 supplements help boost overall health and wellness, with benefits ranging from cardiovascular health to brain development, cognitive function and more.
We Need Nutra Sea
Like vitamins and minerals, omega-3 must be supplied by our diet as it is not produced by our bodies. Omega-3 fatty acids are responsible for proper functioning of the cellular membrane, and therefore are critical to the health of all cells. Omega-3 fatty acids regulate many bodily processes, such as inflammation, immune system response, and neurological functioning. NutraSea is an award winning, great tasting, pharmaceutical grade omega-3 fish oil and the preferred brand of leading medical institutions and doctors in North America. NutraSea is also third party tested to guarantee the highest level of quality and purity.
What are Omega-3s
Essential fatty acids (EFA): omega-3 and omega-6, are vital to the proper functioning of the body. Because our body cannot manufacture them they must be present in our diet. EFAs are necessary for healthy cell membranes, oxygen transfer, energy production, and are extremely important for the proper functioning of the body's electrical system. EFAs are also precursors to hormone-like substances called prostaglandins which regulate vital processes in the body. A balance between omega-3s and omega-6s is extremely important. Excessive omega-6 consumption promotes inflammation in the body. Omega-3s on the other hand actually suppress inflammation in the body.
DHA: The Brain EFA
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.
EPA: The Heart 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.
Benefits of NutraSea
Essential fatty acids have been used to treat eczema, psoriasis, attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, multiple sclerosis (MS), menopause and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). They can also help to improve hair and skin, prevent blood clots, improve memory and regulate hormone levels.
Why Choose Nutra Sea?
NutraSea's high quality starts with the selection of high quality fish from the herring family. The oil then undergoes a proprietary purification process that achieves industry leading purity levels. To guarantee purity, every batch of NutraSea is third party tested for heavy metals, dioxins, pesticides, and PCBs. Furthermore, our proprietary antioxidant formulation maintains product freshness 300% longer than regular fish oils. NutraSea also offers superior absorption due to its natural triglyceride form.
vitamin D – QUICK FACTS
Food Sources
· Fatty fish (mackerel, salmon, sardines), fish liver oils, milk, other fortified products.
Optimum Dosage
· Dosages anywhere from 200-2000 IU, or more are considered optimal depending on the disease state or deficiency state one is treating.
Important Information
· As vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, toxicity (termed hypercalcemia) is possible, with symptoms including headache, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and constipation.
· Look for vitamin D3, as it is converted to the active form of the vitamin more efficiently.
· In Canadian climates, it is not possible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from the sun throughout the winter months. Deficiency is very common and supplementation during these months may be necessary.
