Wholemega Fish Oil – New Chapter

Omega Oils & Optimal Health
Omega 3’s, 5, 6’s, 7 and 9’s belong to a group of fatty acids often referred to as “good fats.” The benefits of these oils are numerous – they serve to nourish brain, heart, eye and kidney tissues.* They have been shown to benefit immune system and digestive system health in addition to supporting healthy metabolism and a positive mood.*

Omega 3 fatty acids (such as EPA & DHA) are particularly noteworthy because the typical “factory farmed” and highly processed Western diet underdelivers these vital good fats. Today, the best sources of these fats are wild, cold-water fish such as salmon (not farmed fish). Grass-fed meat is another option, but unfortunately, most livestock is now fattened on corn. These farmed foods can distort the natural balance of omega fatty acids in our diets.

While our ancestors ate a ratio of dietary Omega 6’s to Omega 3’s of roughly 1:1, our Western diet (with high intakes of red meat, sugar, and refined carbohydrates) skews the Omega 6 ratio to as high as 20:1.

There’s a Whole Lot Missing from “purified” Fish Oils.

Conventional fish oil manufacturers take a “purified” approach with their products. Because they often source many different types of fish stocks with varying levels of beneficial Omegas, and ship these catches over long distances from various fisheries before processing, they need to employ complex, high-heat purification processes to deliver an acceptable product. This extensive processing can break down the beneficial compounds in their fish oil. While some manufacturers then attempt to add back specific vitamins or antioxidants, the benefits of the “whole” are lost forever.
