Years ago, scientists were perplexed with thehealthy arteries of the Greenland Inuit (Eskimo)population. Although their diet was rich in fattyfoods such as salmon, whale, and seal meat,they had healthy hearts. The enigma soonunraveled as scientists began to understand theimportance of DHA & EPA, the omega-3components in marine oils.

Omega-3 oils are considered important nutrients thatsupport and maintain the integrity of healthy cells. DHAand EPA are recognized in today’s scientific research as vitalnutrients for promoting healthy cardiovascular, brain,nerve, vision, joint, skin, and immune systems. Because oftheir unique and vital functions, our bodies require DHAand EPA for optimal health.

Cardiovascular Health• DHA & EPA help maintain a healthy and stableheartbeat.

• DHA & EPA help maintain blood vessel health tosupport circulation.

• DHA & EPA may support artery wall elasticity.• Dietary intake of EPA & DHA is now being recognized as a safe and effective method formaintaining healthy triglyceride levels.

Brain and Nerve Function• As a vital component of our brain tissue andneurons, DHA supports cognitive function.

• By improving membrane fluidity, DHA may helpsupport nerve transmission processes.

• Increased levels of DHA in the brain may serve toprotect and enhance the lifespan of neurons.

Healthy Vision• DHA is found in substantial amounts in the retinaand is important for normal vision.

Immune System Health• DHA and EPA are needed for balanced eicosanoidformation, which supports balanced and healthyimmune responses.

Healthy Joints and Movement• DHA and EPA support healthy joints and comfortable movement by supporting healthyphysiological processes.

Why are Carlson Marine Oils(Fish and Calamari Oils) important for me?

They aid in our well-being bypromoting and supporting:

Why are Marine Oils Preferable to Flax?DHA and EPA can be supplied by fish and calamari,or our bodies can make small amounts of them fromalpha linolenic acid (ALA) when it is in the diet.

While flax and soybeans are a wonderful source ofALA, a study comparing flax and fish oils showed thatsubjects given flax oil over a 4-week period did NOThave increased blood levels of DHA.

It seems rather perplexing that significant dietary increases in ALA did notincrease blood levels of DHA. Why? The reason is that converting ALA to DHAis very slow due to the body’s limited availability of a special conversionenzyme called delta-6-desaturase. Yet, subjects who were given fish oils bypassany need for extra conversion and subjects had immediate benefits available.

How do Flaxseed and Fish/Calamari Oils differ?Fish and calamari oils supply EPA and DHA, which have important healthybenefits. Some fish oils also supply ALA.

The only omega-3 that flaxseed oil supplies is ALA. Even when large amountsof ALA are consumed, our bodies can only convert small amounts of ALA intoeven smaller amounts of EPA and DHA. This process can only occur whensufficient enzymes are present. Since the conversion process is slow andlimited, fish and calamari oils are chosen over flaxseed oil.

Are all Omega-3‘s “Essential”?Scientists define “essential” fatty acids as those that cannot be produced inthe body in any amount. EPA and DHA are required by our bodies. They arenot classified as essential fatty acids because ALA can be converted to smallamounts of EPA and then to DHA when sufficient converting enzymes arepresent. However, this conversion is slow and limited. Therefore, obtainingEPA and DHA directly from the diet is important.

Are Omega-6‘s and Omega-9's Abundant in Foods?Most people easily obtain abundant omega-6 fatty acids from thevegetable oils in their diet. Omega-9's are also widely available in dietaryfats and are not essential for human nutrition. In contrast, adequate andhealthy amounts of omega-3's are not as widely distributed in vegetableoils and animal meats.

What is Omega-3?

Omega-3 is the name of a type of fat that is found in oil-rich fishand some plant oils and is also known as ‘n-3.’ They are from thefamily of ‘good’ fats - PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) that arenot only beneficial for health, but are essential in the diet. Themost effective omega-3’s are EPA (EicosaPentaenoic Acid) and DHA(DocosaHexaenoic Acid).

How are Omega-3 Oils Unique?

Because of their unique structure, omega-3's have important andunique functions in our bodies. Both DHA and EPA are involved inhealthy cardiovascular systems, immune processes, and helpsupport the formation of healthy prostaglandins. DHA is a vitalcomponent of the retina, brain and neurons. Marine oils supplyomega-3 fatty acids and are especially high in DHA and EPA. Somevegetable oils contain ALA, but do not contain DHA or EPA.

The American Diet is Low in DHA & EPA

The typical American diet is high in saturated fats from meatproducts. However, it is low in fish and calamari, and thusomega-3 oils. It has been estimated the average Americanconsumes an inadequate amount of DHA and EPA. Vegetariandiets tend to be particularly low in DHA and EPA because of theabsence of DHA and EPA in all vegetables. Vegetarians must relyon their body’s limited ability to convert ALA (Alpha LinolenicAcid) into DHA and EPA.

Does the Term “Pharmaceutical Grade” Have Any Meaning Related to Quality?

“Pharmaceutical grade” is a term used as a marketing strategy for selling marineoils. Any company selling marine oils can put this term on their label or into product literature, regardless of their quality. The term by itself is ambiguous -there are no defined standards for using the term “pharmaceutical grade” in themarketing of marine oil.

What is Molecular Distillation?

Distillation is a process whereby a liquid mixture is heated and the vapors are condensed and collected as separated liquids.

Molecular distillation, also known as short path distillation, is a process using low temperatures with low vacuum pressure for the separation and collection of different components in marine oils.

Molecular distillation can be, but is not always, a process for the removal of contaminants.

Does the Term “Molecularly Distilled” Have AnyMeaning Related to Quality?

Molecular distillation is one of many processes that may be used in the separation,concentration and purification steps of preparing fish oils. The process itself doesNOT guarantee the quality of marineoil. However, some companies use the term “molecularly distilled” as a quality statement for marketingmarine oils.

When performed under appropriateparameters, molecular distillation canbe a useful purification step formarine oils. However, it does not guarantee potency or purity.

Does CarlsonLaboratories UseMolecular Distillation?

Yes. Molecular distillation, when desirable, is used in the purification and concentration steps of our marine oil products.

Which Fish OilsContain Vitamins A and D?Vitamins A and D are widelyrecognized as essential nutrientsin adults and children.

Cod liver oil naturally containsvitamins A and D as the oil isfrom the liver of the fish, ratherthan the body oil.

What is the Natural Form of Vitamin A in Cod Liver Oil?Vitamin A palmitate (retinyl palmitate) naturally occurs in cod liver oil. Humans andanimals store vitamin A in their bodies in the form of vitamin A palmitate.

Carlson Cod Liver Oil supplies these naturally occurring forms of vitamins A and D.

What are the Recommended Intakes of Fish and Calamari Oils?Most guidelines for marine oil supplements are based on the amount of the important omega-3’s, EPA and DHA. Recommended intakes of EPA and DHA have not been officially established. However, medical groups have provided someguidelines.

EPA & DHA are two of the most unsaturated fatty acids within our bodies; considerablymore unsaturated than vegetable oils. Because of their very high degree of unsaturationon their long chain, they have unique vital functions.

Both EPA & DHA are needed by our bodies, but sometimes one is more important to anindividual than the other. Therefore, these concentrated formulas contain both EPA andDHA, but strongly favor one over the other.

EPAGems

Each soft gel contains 1000 mg of fish oil supplying 400 mg of EPA with 100 mg of DHA. Vitamin E isadded to protect the freshness of the oil.
