How It Works
Fats and fatty acids
Saturated fatty acids are found primarily in land animal fats. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in plants and meat (omega-6) and in fatty fish (omega-3). Fatty acids are important components of fat. They are a part of all cell walls. The fatty acids are built up of carbon chains of different lengths. Fatty acids are either saturated or unsaturated. Unsaturated fatty acids contain one or more double bonds. A double bond means that two adjacent carbon atoms have each lost one hydrogen atom and therefore bind to each other with a double bond instead of a single bond. The number and location of the double bonds in these fatty acids are of great importance for its function. The presence of many double bonds makes the fatty acids flexible, as well as sensitive to oxidation.
There are two types of polyunsaturated fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids (fish fatty acids) and omega-6 fatty acids, both of which are essential for life. They must be supplied from food. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are examples of omega-3 fatty acids. EPA is a precursor for the formation of prostaglandins that have beneficial effects on the liver, immune and cardiovascular systems. DHA is also important for the development and maintenance of neural structures such as the retina and brain. An important omega-6 fatty acid is arachidonic acid which is metabolized from linoleic acid. The major omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid consumed in the U.S. diet is linoleic acid.
The fatty acid composition of the cells varies amongst different populations. People in Europe and the United States have high levels of omega-6 fatty acids such as arachidonic acid, and low levels of omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA in their cells. Research has shown that for European and American populations, the arachidonic acid to EPA ratio is approximately 50:1, and heart disease is common. Japanese people have a ratio of approximately 10:1, and demonstrate a lower incidence of heart disease. Greenland Eskimos have a very low incidence of heart disease and their ratio is approximately 1:1. These data indicate that the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is extremely important in cardiovascular health.
Saturated fatty acids have a straight structure, but omega-3 fatty acids are curved because of their double bonds. Saturated straight fatty acids are closely packed together in the cell wall, which becomes stiff, while curved fatty acids such as EPA and DHA take up more space so subsequently the cell walls are more flexible. This flexibility helps support healthy joint function as well as skin and blood vessel elasticity.
Saturated fatty acids are closely packed into a stiff cell wall while curved fatty acids such as EPA and DHA make the cell wall more flexible.
The beneficial effects of a natural stable fish oil on cardiovascular and heart health are due in part to the profile of fatty acids. Eskimo-3 has been shown to significantly increase blood levels of EPA and DHA. Benefits associated with these increases in omega-3 fatty acids include: support for healthy homocysteine levels, retention of healthy cholesterol levels that are already within normal limits, retention of healthy blood pressure, supporting healthy circulation, maintaining healthy lipoprotein levels, and protecting LDL from unfavorable oxidation.
Homocysteine
Eskimo-3 supplementation has been shown to reduce homocysteine levels. Changes in homocysteine levels in the blood can impact cardiovascular health.
Blood Pressure
Eskimo-3 supplementation has been shown to support healthy blood pressure that is already within normal limits. The primary mechanism is thought to be that of inhibiting thromboxane, which is a vasoconstrictor. Haglund, et al showed the effects of Eskimo-3 versus placebo in a clinical trial, which demonstrated superior support for maintaining healthy blood pressure that is already within normal limits.
Healthy Circulation
Five separate studies on Eskimo-3 showed support for healthy circulation.
Lipoprotein (a)
Clinical studies show that Eskimo-3 better supports healthy lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels than highly purified fish oil (HPFO).
Cardiovascular Health
In recent studies, intake of Eskimo-3 was found to support cardiovascular health.
Eskimo-3 in Other Supportive Functions
Eskimo-3 is an antioxidant. Eskimo-3 provides support for musculoskeletal and joint health.
Fish Oil Purity and Stability
Fish oils may naturally contain DHA and EPA, or they may be modified to artificially boost the concentration of DHA and EPA. Recent Norwegian studies have demonstrated that chemically modified fish oils are the least stable against lipid peroxidation (rancidity). An unstable fish oil can cause an increase in malondialdehyde, a marker of free radical formation in the blood and tissues. Free radicals can contribute to less flexible blood vessels (atherosclerosis). Additionally, over-processing of fish oil supplements can result in a loss of key constituents and thus decrease their efficacy.
Eskimo-3 is purified by a proprietary process that preserves the beneficial key constituents of the whole oil. Eskimo-3 has no detectable dioxin (a widely used toxic preservative), DDT (a toxic insecticide), PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls that are highly toxic to aquatic life) or heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium or copper.
Greenpeace Research Laboratories at Exeter University in the United Kingdom commissioned an independent laboratory to analyze twenty-two samples of fish oil. Twenty-one of the samples were found to contain detectable levels of organochlorine pesticides including DDT and PCBs. Reported DDT levels varied from 0 to 148 µg/L. Reported PCB levels varied from 0-1132 µg/L. This demonstrates an enormous variability of contaminant level among fish oil products.
Eskimo-3 has been shown to be free of contaminants. This level of purity for Eskimo-3 is attributed to a proprietary purification technique.
Eskimo-3 is stable against oxidation and protected by additional natural antioxidants, including mixed tocopherols (vitamin E). This helps prevent rancidity and provides superior taste and efficacy.
Conclusion
Research has demonstrated the efficacy of marine fish oils and their fatty acid constituents in supporting heart health. Most of the shortcomings and adverse effects observed in previous fish oil studies have not been observed with Eskimo-3 supplementation. Ongoing studies are investigating additional health benefits from dietary supplementation of natural, stable fish oil.
FAQ
Why is it important to consume Omega-3 fatty acids every day?
Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in human health. They support our body's cardiovascular, nervous, reproductive, and immune systems. They help our cells work properly, keeping their membranes strong, flexible, and healthy. Adequate omega-3 fatty acid intake is especially important during pregnancy, to support fetal brain development.
Eskimo-3 Fish Oil is a uniquely superior Omega-3 fish oil supplement. Our proprietary purification technique preserves the beneficial key constituents of the whole oil while removing the harmful contaminants.
How much cold-water fish would I have to eat to get the amount of Omega-3 fatty acids in Eskimo-3 Fish Oil?
You would need 2-4 servings of salmon or trout per week, or 9-18 servings of halibut, cod, and/or tuna to meet the suggested minimum intake of essential fatty acids.
Eskimo-3 Fish Oil fish oil is available in softgel and liquid form. Each Eskimo-3 Fish Oil capsule contains 200 mg of Omega-3 fatty acids. The recommended daily dose (nine (9) softgels or one teaspoon of Eskimo-3 Fish Oil liquid fish oil) provides 1800mg of DHA+EPA. Research has show that this amount of Omega-3 fatty acids provides superior health benefits.
How is the Eskimo-3 Fish Oil fish oil processed? Is it molecular distilled?
Molecular distillation is a purification process designed to remove toxic trace elements, such as PCBs. Eskimo-3 Fish Oil is purified through a multi-step proprietary process that involves molecular distillation. The process removes toxins and heavy metals from the whole oil while preserving the Omega-3 fatty acids and other beneficial compounds. When the processing is complete, the fish oil is analyzed to ensure purity. Eskimo-3 Fish Oil contains no detectable heavy metals including mercury, lead, cadmium, or copper.
Is Eskimo-3 Fish Oil chemically modified to have increased DHA and EPA?
No. There are two types of fish oil supplements, natural or concentrated. The concentrated oils are always chemically modified to increase their Omega-3 fatty acid content. Studies published recently have shown that concentrated fish oils can have adverse effects. Because they are not stable, concentrated fish oils can actually induce rancidity (lipid peroxidation) in the body.
There is no other natural fish oil available that contains a higher concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids than Eskimo-3 Fish Oil. At the most, natural fish oils consist of 40% fatty. Because Eskimo-3 Fish Oil is produced by the best possible source of fish available, it does contain 40% Omega-3 fatty acids. If a fish oil supplement label claims that the product contains more than 40% Omega-3 fatty acids, it is always chemically modified and subject to instability.
