TrueOmega-3

AlaskOmega® fish oil comes from Wild Alaska Pollock (codfish family) caught in Alaska’s cold, clear Bering Sea. The Alaska Pollock fishery is considered one of the best managed fisheries in the world as the annual catch is 50% below overfishing levels, making it a very sustainable source of omega-3s.

What’s more, AlaskOmega fish oil is certified as sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), considered by many to be the gold standard of sustainability certification.  

Also important, the AlaskOmega® fish oil is an upcycled product – after the fish is fileted for human food consumption, the oil is extracted from the remaining trimmings. No fish are being caught solely for use in fish oil supplements.

AlaskOmega® is making use of the scraps so the entire fish gets used.

Alaskan Pollock are typically 12 to 20 inches in length and ½ to 2 pounds in weight. Using small fish is a great starting point because they don’t have nearly the toxin buildup of larger, more fatty fish.

The AlaskOmega® fish oil is purified using a multistep filtration process developed over 30 years to remove toxic heavy metals, PCBs, dioxins, and other pollutants. The resulting purity level is far beyond acceptable fish oil industry standards.  

In addition, AlaskOmega® is the market leader in freshness, which matters because when omega-3s are oxidized, it degrades their nutritional value as the oil becomes rancid.

AlaskOmega® has a very low risk of oxidation as demonstrated by TOTOX (Total Oxidation Value), which measures future oxidation potential.  The industry standard is a max of 26, but AlaskOmega® has a value less than 5, far better than other fish oils.

An added benefit of this commitment to freshness, is that AlaskOmega® is unlikely to cause fishy burps or repeating.

Some of the benefits you may experience by supplementing with fish oil and TrueOmega3: 

• Helps you maintain already-healthy triglyceride and blood pressure levels.
• Helps support heart and cardiovascular health.
• Helps support cognitive function and brain health as we age.
• Helps support vision, bone, joint and immune system health.
• Helps promote healthy aging. 

Since our digestive system is water-based, and oil and water don’t mix, our bodies must do extra work to absorb the EPA and DHA omega-3s from fish oil. This process is called emulsification.

TrueOmega-3 includes the advanced AquaCelle® delivery system that does this emulsification for you.  So when you take TrueOmega-3, the fish oil is more ready to be absorbed through your intestines and transported to your blood stream.

Prior to AquaCelle®, you’d be advised to take your fish oil supplement after eating a fatty meal (when your body is in digestion mode) to help increase absorption and bioavailability of the EPA and DHA – and it still would be well below what can be achieved with AquaCelle®. 

In fact, the combination of AlaskOmega® fish oil and AquaCelle® increased the absorption and bioavailability of the EPA and DHA by 6.0x, on average (compared to taking AlaskOmega® by itself). This was on an empty stomach.

The increase for DHA was greater than the increase for EPA.  Each serving of TrueOmega-3 contains 910mg of EPA and DHA combined.  With AquaCelle®, many more of these omega-3 fatty acids can reach your bloodstream and be put to work to support healthy aging.

On top of this, an added benefit of the AquaCelle emulsification system - in addition to enhanced EPA and DHA absorption - is it virtually eliminates fish burps and repeating.  This has been observed in research with AquaCelle®.
