Life Extension Super Omega-3 features a premium, pure, fresh fish oil, derived from sustainably harvested cold-water Alaska Pollock and processed within hours of harvest. It has earned the International Fish Oil Standards’ highest 5-star rating, exceeding industry standards.
The superior formulation is inspired by the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet and contains olive extract, sesame lignans and natural lemon flavour to support the beneficial action on cardiovascular and cognitive health.
Fish oils contain the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA which present the active ingredients responsible for the many health effects of fish oil.
DHA fatty acids are naturally unstable fatty acids which limits their effectiveness. To enhance stability and effectiveness of DHA, sesame lignans are added to this formulation, which results in advanced health effects for heart health and cognitive function.
The standardized olive extract in Super Omega-3 is packed with the polyphenol hydroxytyrosol, a powerful antioxidant that supports healthy blood fat levels and blood vessel health. Research shows that a combination of fish oil and olive fruit antioxidants promote a balanced inflammatory response better than fish oil alone. Studies associate the Mediterranean diet — rich in omega-3 fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols such as that found in olive oil, and antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and herbs — with cardiovascular health and increased life span.
The Western diet is typically lacking in Omega-3 fatty acids and instead presents an unhealthy ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids which is contributing to increased inflammation. Supplementing with a high-quality omega-3 supplement can support wellness and healthy ageing.
