Fish oil can become rancid if it is not used in a timely fashion. Omega-3 Brain Booster™ has been shelf-life tested to be sure it is safe to keep in its original, unopened packaging at room temperature for up to 12 months. Our microencapsulation process helps extend the shelf life by creating an oxygen-protective coating around the fish oil. In addition, each bag of Omega-3 Brain Booster™ is purged with nitrogen to remove oxygen, stop oxidation, and maximize shelf life and stability.

Natures Perfect Oil is naturally preserved with Vitamin E. The gelcaps are sealed and do not require refrigeration. The oil however must be refrigerated after opening, and used within 4 months. It is not recommended for frying or heating above 150ºC/300ºF, which can damage or destroy its delicate properties. See similar questions...

Flaxseed oil is fragile and needs to be handled properly. An unopened and frozen bottle of flaxoil should last for a year or so. After it is opened and kept frozen it still should last for several months. If it is only kept in the refrigerator, the shelf life before rancidity would be less than that... perhaps about half and possibly more than half. I have not tried it as I always keep mine in the freezer. The biggest problem in causing quick rancidity is light. See similar questions...

Years of over-consumption of overly-processed junk food has made the U.S. the least healthy country in the industrialized world. Fortunately for us, science has discovered that sufficient amounts of Omega-3 EPA and DHA from cold water fish oil can nutralize some of the vascular damage created by the cooking oils included in most ALL processed foods including cakes, cookies, chips, crackers, muffins, bagels, donuts, breads, fried foods and margarine.

Even the least "fishy" fish tastes icky to me. Somewhere in middle school, I just stopped liking it. Sometimes, I can eat popcorn shrimp, but that's about it. I grew up near the Gulf Coast, spending many vacations on a boat in a lake or on the Gulf, fishing. My mom can cook them very well, and I've had them cooked other ways, too. Fish turns my stomach. Sometimes, even Cesar dressing (which has fish in it) can do the same. See similar questions...

I have had an opportunity to produce seal oil from the species phoca groenlandica for human consumption. The omega 3 long-chain PUFA profile is approximately 20-25%, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) 4.7%; docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) 4.2%; and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) 8.9%. Is there any difference between fish oil and seal oil, and do you have any information concerning  the benefits of DPA?  See similar questions...

There is some evidence that fish oil (attributed to the eicosapentaenoic acid) has anti-inflammatory properties which may be useful in the treatment of IBD and rheumatoid arthritis. In addition it may also be helpful in preventing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Patient acceptance of fish oil therapy has been poor because of the indigestion and bad breath associated with therapy. See similar questions...

Dr. Madsen recommends that children as young as possible begin taking one capsule per meal. If necessary, parents can snap the gelcap in two and allow the fish oil itself to pour into a beverage that the child enjoys the taste of. This will allow the youngsters to get their vital fish oil to help further develop their brains, eyes, nervous system in general, and all of the body's trillions of cell membranes.

Omega-3 EFAs survive in the bloodstream about 4-6 hours before they begin to breakdown. The body cannot make or store these Omega-3 EFAs, and that is why they are referred to "essential" fatty acids. However, the body can make and store enormous amounts of saturated fat, and some monounsaturated fat (from the excess carbohydrates, proteins, and fat that you eat every day).

BioTears is specifically designed to address mucosal tissue health. It has been suggested in clinical studies and case reports to be effective on a large percentage of dry eye sufferers. However, in a few cases, additional EPA /DHA from one or two daily capsules of fish oil, such as Biosyntrx ZoOmega-3, has improved effectivness. See similar questions...

With fish oil, like most everything else, you tend to get what you pay for, with the exception being the prescription-only fish oil called OMACOR, which sells for $120.00 for a one month supply (more than three times the per mg cost of EPA/DHA in ZoOmega-3). We suggest you look for ethyl concentrated EPA/DHA pharmaceutical-grade fish oils from reputable companies that will guarantee their product is from cold water fish, and free of mercury and PCBs. ZoOmega-3 meets these requirments See similar questions...

A good maintenance dose is 2.5 grams of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids per day. The nutrition provided by this dosage may be obtained by taking either four Sealogix capsules or one teaspoon of the liquid Sealogix. You would have to take a whole tablespoon of cod liver oil to obtain this amount. Individuals who require higher amounts of long-chain omega 3 fatty acids or find taking the liquid easier than taking large numbers of capsules may prefer liquid Sealogix. See similar questions...
