Omega-3 High Potency EPA 400 DHA 200, Enteric coated, 60 softgels

Enteric Coated for ADEQUATE ABSORPTION and NO FISH BURPS!

Choosing the right foods and nutrients to support our health is essential. Ensuring that those foods and nutrients are adequately absorbed is also essential. Enteric coating supports proper absorption of the fish oils by placing a protective barrier over the softgel that does not dissolve in the stomach, allowing the nutrients a safe-passage through the acidic stomach environment. The enteric coating then breaks down and releases the Omega-3 fatty acids into the intestines. This is optimal as the intestines are the main “nutrient-absorption zone” for the body, transporting the fatty acids from the digestive tract into the blood vessels for their various roles around the body.

This special coating serves many functions including:

• prevention of possible stomach irritation;

• elimination of repeat burping that can occur with fish oils; and

• protection of easily damaged nutrients and enzymes from the stomach’s acids for better absorption.

The Omega-3 nutritional category has been associated with heart health because EPA provides some ability to lower cholesterol. More importantly, EPA has an anti-inflammatory effect on the lining of the coronary arteries of the heart. Coronary inflammation is considered to be a central factor in heart disease risk. EPA also displays a beneficial blood thinning effect that lowers the risk of inappropriate blood clotting.
