Omega-3 fatty acids and cardiovascular disease: effects on risk factors, molecular pathways, and clinical events
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2011
Each serving of 2 softgels delivers 2400mg of a balanced omega fatty acid blend from three complementary oil sources: fish oil (EPA and DHA), borage oil (GLA and LA), and flaxseed oil (ALA and LA). A comprehensive source of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids for the maintenance of good health.
Each serving provides 800mg of fish oil from Clupeidae and Scombridae (sardines, anchovies, mackerel family), delivering 144mg of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and 96mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) — the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids most extensively studied for cardiovascular and brain health. EPA and DHA are the primary omega-3 fatty acids found in marine sources and are the forms most readily utilized by the body.
Each serving provides 800mg of borage oil from Borago officinalis seed the richest plant source of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), delivering 160mg of GLA, 296mg of linoleic acid (LA), and 168mg of oleic acid (OA) per serving. GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid that serves as a precursor to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins and is not found in significant amounts in most common dietary oils.
Each serving provides 800mg of flaxseed oil from Linum usitatissimum seed, delivering 424mg of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), 136mg of linoleic acid (LA), and 160mg of oleic acid (OA) per serving. ALA is the plant-based omega-3 fatty acid and an essential fatty acid that must be obtained from the diet. It serves as a precursor to EPA and DHA, though conversion efficiency in the body is limited.
Non-medicinal ingredients: Gelatin, d-alpha Tocopherol (Vitamin E).
Adults: Take 2 softgels once per day with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Taking with food enhances absorption of fat soluble fatty acids and minimizes the possibility of gastrointestinal discomfort.
Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking anticoagulants such as warfarin, taking blood pressure medications, or have a known allergy to fish or seafood. High doses of omega-3 fatty acids may have blood-thinning effects. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigerate after opening to preserve freshness. Keep out of reach of children.
