Is Your Fish Oil Source Contaminated With Mercury?

Hard to say – If your buying a low quality brand, and if the product is actually sourced from fish

( it’s sometimes hard to tell if what is listed on the label of most vitamins is even actually IN the product. It’s an unregulated industry.)

With all fish now contaminated with mercury?? Makes you wonder doesn’t it??

A federal study of mercury shared that contamination in fish is widespread. No fish can escape mercury pollution.  The comprehensive study tested more than 1000 fish from almost 300 streams from 1998 to 2005.  Mercury poisoning can damage the nervous system and cause learning disabilities in developing fetuses and young children. The source of this mercury? Coal fired power plants.

And yet …when we look at the benefits of nutrients sourced from fish we can not overlook the benefit fish oil provides, specifically DHA

A child’s brain forms TRILLIONS of cell connections during the first decade of life. Not just millions or even billions – but TRILLIONS of brain cells.  DHA makes up about 97% of the Omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and in the retina.

The brain needs DHA to work.

DHA supports early brain and eye development, brain health and normal cognitive function. It enhances memory, focus, concentration and attention.

Our chewable DHA contains 100 mg of ultra pure, natural DHA….

Ultra pure means that any contaminant found on the raw materials are removed. Are you clear of the purity of your current fish oil.

It’s super important to supplement with fish oil – for kid brain power, and adult brain power too!

You can have it without tasting something fishy or any of that mercury stuff

Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally With Fish Oil

I can lower your cholesterol naturally.

Pretty strong statement, eh?

I have worked with enough clients over the years who have followed a very specific nutritional protocol for lowering their cholesterol and can say we’ve done it time and time again.  Lowered cholesterol by 30 points in 30 days.  I feel confident enough to at least say that, when they follow the protocol – it works!!

A nutritional protocol is a recipe for health success, it combines the many nutrients we know benefit an individual at the cellular level and we use that recipe towards a specific goal – like lowering their cholesterol. Often a client will say well I’d prefer to not to take this part of the recipe.  While I can go along with that, it’s a clients choice after all, however that is not what I recommend.  To me it’s a bit like trying to make a cake without flour. If an ingredient is missing can you really expect cake?

One of the major ingredients in the lowering your cholesterol naturally protocol is fish oil.

If you are eating sardines, anchovies and mackeral regularly, then your diet provides the essential fatty acids you need. Guess what? Americans might eat 13 lbs of fish per year and mostly they are eating the wrong kinds of fish.  When was the last time you ate Mackeral?

Taking a fish oil supplement guaruntee’s a daily source of fish without going fishing and provides these remarkably fishy health benefits:

reduces triglycerides and cholesterol

raises HDL ( good cholesterol)

lowers blood pressure

reduces risk of blood clots

reduces risk of heart attack and stroke

reduces inflammation

reduces arthritis inflammation and pain

alleviates autoimmune diseases

improves eczema, colitis, arthritis, MS, psoriasis, migraines

prevents preterm deliveries and toxemia

helps support brain, eye and joint health

essential for the brain, eyes of a developing fetus

Taking a high quality clean, ultra pure, pharmaceutical grade full spectrum fish oil assures that the above mentioned benefits are then available to the blood stream and assimilated at the cellular level, which is our ultimate goal.

Your cells need this stuff to survive, to heal, to grow.

Be reminded that all sources of fish oil are not created equal. There is growing concern that the sources of fish for fish oil supplements are tainted, after all the waters are polluted, this  pollution shows up in our fish.

Impurities and contaminants such as lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium,dioxins, and PCBs are NOT found in our product.
It’s important to source your supplements from a company who prides itself on quality control, triple – distillation for product purity and the strongest concentration of fish oil.

Our product contains a full spectrum of seven naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids EPA, DHA, ALA, and more. It also contains higher levels of EPA and DHA than leading brands. DHA is critical for brain development and function.

Your heart thanks you.
