Promoting and maintaining a state of wellness requires a dynamic balance of hormones known as eicosanoids.* Eicosanoids are powerful cell regulators that help maintain virtually all body functions including the brain, the heart and the immune system.* Daily supplementation with pharmaceutical- grade fish oils rich in the long-chain omega-3 essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, is critical for maintaining optimal eicosanoid balance throughout the body.

According to Dr. Sears, ultra-refined grade fish oil has some very distinct characteristics:

Although there is no established RDA for Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA and DHA), much of the medical research on the health benefits of these nutrients is conducted using amounts of 1,000 mg and up.*

So, what does it really cost you for 1,000 mg
of Omega-3's (DHA/EPA)?

Fish Oil Types Comparisions
Cod Liver Oil	Health Food Grade Fish Oil	OmegaRx™ Ultra-refined Fish Oil
Not Safe at High Levels	Questionable If Safe at High Levels	Safe at High Levels
Highest levels of contaminants (organic mercury, PCB's and DDT).	Typical health-food grade omega-3 fish oil supplements contains varying amounts of contaminants. In addition, the fractional cooling method does not remove the PCB's or the long-chain monoene fatty acids that give rise to significant gastric distress.	It is so pure and refined, OmegaRx contains 100s times less PCB's and other contaminants than health food grade omega-3 fish oil.
Low Quality	Better Quality	Highest Quality Ultra-refined
This is what Grandma used to give your parents. It is the lowest quality of all fish oils. Taking a high-dosage of cod liver oil is not recommended due to the high levels of Vitamin A and contaminants found in this form of fish oil.	If the label says the oil comes from a particular species of fish such as salmon oil then you know it is health-food grade omega-3 fish oil supplement. These oils are only sold in soft gelatin capsules because they still have an extremely poor taste profile. There is a slightly more purified type of health food grade fish oil that includes those that have been subjected to a very limited amount of molecular distillation to remove some of the cholesterol in order to be labeled "cholesterol-free". read more Fish Oil Feed: OmegaRx Ultra-refined Fish Oil FAQ Mon, 10 Apr 2006 01:02:31 -0700 How many grams of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids are found in a single capsule of OmegaRx™? Each OmegaRx™ capsule contains 600 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. This is double the amount found in health-food grade fish oil capsules. Four OmegaRx™ capsules would supply 2.4 grams of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, which is similar to that found in one tablespoon of cod liver oil. read more
