Omega-3 800 (softgels)
60 caps (P1042-60) and 120 caps (P1042-120)
Patient One Omega 800 (softgels) supplies highly purified and concentrated essential Omega-3 fatty acids in their superior triglyceride form. Each softgel provides 430 mg EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 290 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), plus a proprietary antioxidant blend.
Certified pharmaceutical grade fish oil sourced from cold water fish (anchovy, sardine, mackerel), Omega 800 is molecularly distilled and manufacturer-tested as well as third-party tested for a full range of contaminants and environmental pollutants, including heavy metals, pesticides, dioxins and PCBs. Omega 800 softgels are naturally flavored for a pleasant lemon/lime taste.
Fish oils are rich sources of Omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are the two most studied fish oils. Most notably recognized for support of cardiovascular health, fish oil also promotes optimal joint function and comfort.
Key Ingredients
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid):
The majority of Omega-3’s beneficial activities can be traced back to two health-supporting functions in the body—promoting healthy cell membranes and production of eicosanoids.*
DHA is an essential component of the phospholipids in human cell membranes, particularly those found in the brain and retina. In clinical studies, Omega-3 fatty acids have demonstrated potential to help maintain healthy triglyceride levels. Fish oils have also been studied for their beneficial role in the maintenance of normal blood flow, as they support normal fibrinogen levels (blood clotting), which contributes to normal platelet activity.*
Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids compete metabolically with each other. Omega-6 fatty acids—found in abundance in the typical Western diet—may inhibit the incorporation of Omega-3 fatty acids into tissue lipids. Omega-3s may inhibit the conversion of many Omega-6s into arachidonic acid, often associated with poor heart health. Consuming DHA and EPA Omega-3s appears to help increase these fatty acids while reducing levels of Omega-6 fatty acids to help restore proper lipid balance and support cardiovascular health.*
The “Triglyceride Form ” Absorption Advantage
The many health benefits of Omega-3s can only be derived if the body absorbs the fatty acids. Although scientific research demonstrates the triglyceride form as the superior delivery mode of fish oil, very few fish oil concentrates in the marketplace are available in this form because of the higher production costs. Most fish oils contain the “ethyl ester” form of fatty acid, synthetic Omega-3 molecules, shown to be less effective in delivering essential fatty acids to the body during digestion and metabolism. Our Omega-3 800 supplies fish oil concentrate in the preferred re-esterified triglyceride form to optimize its effectiveness.*
