Omega Matrix

Each softgel provides a minimum of 400 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA, sourced from wild Norwegian sardines, mackerel, and anchovies, with added vitamin E for stability. The addition of 200 mg of borage oil provides a 24% GLA content for a total of 48 mg of GLA per softgel, adding anti-inflammatory properties. Indicated for systemic inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, autoimmunity, cognitive decline, mood disorders, eczema, PMS, and dry eye syndrome. Molecularly distilled to ensure the final product is free from heavy metals, organophosphate compounds, and unwanted contaminants. Available in bottles of 180 softgels. The modern diet has seen a drastic reduction in the intake of omega-3 fatty acids, compounded by a significantly higher intake important source of omega-6 fatty acids. This is problematic because many of our tissues rely on fatty acids for proper synthesis and communication. If the appropriate fatty acids are not available, the implications for overall health are vast. Ultimately, a relative deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids can lead to a pro-inflammatory state and increase the risk of chronic disease. The active compounds responsible for the widespread benefits of fish oil supplementation have been identified as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While both are important for various aspects of human health, EPA is generally considered an anti-inflammatory fatty acid while DHA is primarily responsible for neurodevelopment and nerve protection. Both EPA and DHA have been clinically studied in a variety of health conditions. For example, supplementation with these omega-3 fatty acids has been shown to benefit cardiovascular health, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmunity, cognition, mood, skin health, and atopic problems, to name a few clinical indications. Simply put, EPA and DHA should be considered for any systemic inflammatory condition. While excess omega-6 fatty acids can be problematic, not all omega-6 fatty acids should be vilified. For example, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid commonly found in the seeds of plants such as evening primrose, borage, and hemp. When supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA, the conversion of GLA to prostaglandin E1 is encouraged. PGE1 has anti-inflammatory effects and also has the ability to induce smooth muscle relaxation. More importantly, clinical trials with GLA have demonstrated benefits in arthritis, eczema, high cholesterol, premenstrual syndrome, and dry eye syndrome.
