Orthomega Select EPA (OMP)

• Maintains Normal Inflammatory Balance
• High-Intensity Support for Establishing a Positive Mental Outlook
• Targeted Support for Joint Comfort and Musculoskeletal Integrity
• Maintains Healthy Cardiovascular Function and Blood Sugar Balance Already Within Normal Levels

Research shows that EPA promotes a positive mental outlook and has a significant calming effect on the brain. In addition, EPA has been shown to improve joint mobility and support cardiovascular health. Orthomega^® Select EPA is sourced from off the Chilean coast, where cold, fresh waters provide the cleanest, most sustainable source of fish in the world. Each soft gel delivers 660 mg EPA in the natural triglyceride form for superior absorption.

While EPA/DHA combination formulas remain the backbone of any fish oil regimen, as research on fish oil continues to accumulate, new evidence has emerged supporting the value of unique formulations of high-intensity EPA for more targeted uses. Fatty acids in the n-3 family are considered essential to humans because our bodies are unable to make them; in humans, conversion of alpha linolenic acid to EPA is slow, making supplementation necessary. EPA also boosts cognitive health and is an essential part of the structural integrity of the central nervous system making it a key component of neurological wellness. With over 10,000 published studies on fish oil in the last three decades, EPA and DHA from fish oil is among the most researched natural ingredients available and has a long history of safety and efficacy.

Suggested Use:

1 soft gel capsule per day or as recommended by your health care professional.

Orthomega Select EPA Benefits

Fish Oil Delivery – Triglycerides vs. Ethyl Esters

While the amount of EPA and DHA provided in a fish oil product is important for efficacy, the type of fish oil delivered is another significant factor in defining fish oil effectiveness. The human body is accustomed to digesting and absorbing EPA and DHA in the natural triglyceride form. A review of the existing literature has shown that fish oil provided in the natural triglyceride form is more efficiently digested and is 70% more absorbable than the ethyl ester form.

Omega-3 Depletion

An accumulating body of research shows that the typical modern diet does not provide a sufficient amount of omega-3s for optimal health and insufficient conversion within the body of alpha linolenic acid (ALA) to the active EPA and DHA may reduce the amount available for use in organs and tissues.

Mood Balance

Long-chain n-3 fatty acids such as EPA are important components of membranes within neurological organs and tissues. They affect membrane fluidity and influence synaptic function and possibly serotonin and dopamine metabolism.
