Vectomega Omega-3 Compex
Greetings from all of us at Evergreen Nutrition and welcome Spring!
There has been an increased concern about the quality and purity of supplemental fish oils lately and wed like to assure you that Evergreen carries high quality, very pure fish oils that meet or exceed International Fish Oil Standards (IFOS). It is very important not to skimp on the quality of your fish oil it is actually harmful to consume rancid or toxin-containing oils. Choose only products made from cold-water fish from pristine waters. For those of you who like to see for yourselves, Renew Lifes Norwegian Gold products have lot numbers which you can use to check the actual purity report on their web site.
Vectomega is a whole-food omega-3 complex containing EPA, DHA, phospholipids and amino acids from salmon wild farmed in the north Atlantic Ocean near France and Norway. It is processed within one hour of being harvested in a sustainable manner. There are several other things that set Vectomega apart from other omega-3 supplements. It is created using a patented solvent-free extraction process that uses proteolytic enzymes and a cold-water flush, maintaining the natural DHA to EPA ratio, then freeze dried and made into very stable, water-soluble tablets. No chemicals, no heat and no fishy aftertaste make it a superior product, indeed, but there is more. The really exciting news about Vectomega is that it is not, technically speaking, a fish oil since it does not contain triglyceride chains. Instead Vectomegas omega-3s are attached to natural phospholipid chains.
Dont find that exciting? Read on! Every cell in our body contains a phospholipid membrane. The unique chemical structure of phospholipids (PLs) means that it is both water-soluble (the phosphate part) and fat-soluble (the lipid part) which creates a truly marvelous gate keeper controlling everything that passes into and out of our cells and the organelles within them. The phospholipids in Vectomega know the secret password, so to speak, to easily get across the PL barrier of our cell membranes creating five times more intestinal absorption and up to fifty times more intercellular absorption compared to regular fish oils. In addition, the unaltered PL chains in Vectomega have a natural affinity for the tissues of the brain and heart.
The root of all disease is oxidation and inflammation, states Dr. Decker Weiss, NMD, FASA, a naturopathic cardiologist who has achieved outstanding success with his patients. In an article published by www.terrytalksnutrition.com, Dr. Weiss recommends phospholipid-bound-omega-3 supplementation and the use of the powerful botanicals Indian gooseberry (also known as amla), curcumin (from turmeric), green tea and reseveratrol. Together, these five supplements achieve superior antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity to help prevent plaque buildup and reduce inflammation in the arteries and to reduce the risk of LDL cholesterol oxidation all of which contribute to the risk of cardiovascular disease including heart attack and stroke.
Vectomega from EuroPharma is easy to take: just one tablet (smaller than a one-gram fish oil softgel) is equivalent to more than eight capsules of fish oil and more than six ounces of salmon. Please keep in mind that most of us eat cooked salmon and heat can oxidize beneficial fatty acids into detrimental ones, but Vectomega is processed without heat thereby maintaining fatty acid integrity. And its burp-free.
