Product description Life Extension Super Omega-3 Plus

• Support cardiovascular and brain health
• Provide the body with important omega-3 fatty acids
• Enriched with the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin

Brief overview of health benefits:

The omega-3 acids and DHA in Super Omega-3 Plus EPA/DHA with Sesame Lignan, Olive Extract, Krill and Astaxanthin can support your cardiovascular system and brain. In addition, the fish oil used in this product has been gently purified using a patented process to eliminate contamination with environmental pollutants.

Why it works:

Researchers have long known about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, which are abundant in the Mediterranean diet. But now new research science has surprisingly shown that omega-3 fatty acids from different sources may have complementary benefits throughout the body. Super Omega-3 Plus EPA/DHA with sesame lignans, olive extract, krill and astaxanthin will provide the body with omega-3 fatty acids from krill and fish oils, which together may provide better support for the cardiovascular system and brain.

Both fish oil and krill oil provide omega-3 fatty acids that help restore the omega-6/omega-3 balance in the body [1]. In addition, the omega-3 fatty acids found in krill oil are more quickly incorporated into red blood cell phospholipids, which are quickly absorbed into brain cells [2].

This product also contains astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant carotenoid that has been shown to control free radical activity and enhance mitochondrial function [4]. Astaxanthin may help support joint, DNA, brain, cardiovascular, immune and mitochondrial health.

A standardized polyphenol extract from olive fruit is also included in this formula. Olive fruit polyphenol extracts may help protect normal LDL cholesterol from oxidation. Finally, it is worth noting that this product is made from fish oil so pure that it exceeds international standards for the best purity on the market.

The science behind the product:

The supplement contains pure, potent fish oil caught in certified sustainable fisheries and processed within hours to provide exceptional freshness. Patented technology is used to purify the fish oil through a highly advanced distillation process that reduces environmental pollutants.

Astaxanthin found in Super Omega-3 Plus EPA/DHA with Sesame Lignans, Olive Extract, Krill & Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant carotenoid that is naturally present in krill oil. Astaxanthin has been shown to play a role in controlling free radical activity and enhancing mitochondrial function [3]. Research shows that this antioxidant can help support joint [4,5] as well as brain [6,7], cardiovascular- [8,9], immune- [10,11] and mitochondrial health [12-15].

In addition, it may also promote healthy blood glucose levels for those already in the normal range [16-18] and may protect sensitive cells in the eye [19-22]. Research also suggests that polyphenol extracts from olive oil may help protect normal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from oxidation [23-27]. In addition, the sesame lignans in Super Omega-3 Formula Plus play a role in promoting omega-3 fatty acids by making them more stable [28,29].
