Usana BiOmega - High Quality Ultra-pure Fish-Oil Supplement

By Angela Giles

Usana Health Sciences, Inc has been manufacturing and marketing health supplements for more than 18 years. It produces a range of nutritional supplements for maintaining optimum health. Usana BiOmega is one such product which supplies essential omega-3 fatty acids that are known to decrease the risk of several debilitating diseases.

Omega-3 is a family of fatty acids, both unsaturated and polyunsaturated, that promote good health in general. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are two such fatty acids that have been clinically proven to prevent the occurrence of heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases. They also help in artery strengthening and cholesterol control.

Omega-3 acids contribute significantly to promoting the health of the immune system, development of the neural functionality in children and sustaining bone health. Research has also shown their positive contribution to diminish the risk of diseases like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and certain mental disorders.

DHA, EPA and other omega-3 acids are helpful in brain development in the fetus and after birth. Their presence in significant amounts has been found in nerve cells of infant brains. Experimental studies in children with learning and behavioral disorders have shown that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation has lead to improvement in the children's learning and behavior.

Cold water sea fish like mackerel, sardines, salmon, herring and anchovies are a natural source of fish-oil and fatty acids. However, there is also some risk associated with their consumption since they might contain some trace amounts of poisonous heavy metals like cadmium, nickel, lead and arsenic and other contaminants like pesticides. Powerful refining processes can remove the pollutants but also deplete the essential fatty acids simultaneously.

Usana BiOmega combines a revolutionary refining process, also known as double molecular distillation that effectively removes the contaminants like heavy metals and pesticides with a high-tech infrastructure that extracts the essential EPA and DHA fatty acids. Natural preservatives are added in the process to maintain product freshness.

Vitamin-D is a nutrient that is lacking in regular diet but is quite helpful in supporting bone health and lung functionality. Usana BiOmega contains additional dosage of Vitamin D along with the omega-3 acids. The capsules are lemon-flavored to take care of the aftertaste left by fish oil.

Usana BiOmega totally adheres to the norms of U.S.P for purity, uniformity and potency. They have been found to be most effective for maintaining adult health. Their formulations also serve to effectively supplement the nutritional requirements of pregnant women. - 23802
