The modern diet has seen a drastic reduction in the intake of omega-3 fatty acids, compounded by a significantly greater intake of omega-6 fatty acids. This is problematic as many of our tissues rely on fatty acids for proper synthesis and communication. If the appropriate fatty acids are not available, the implications for overall health are vast. Ultimately, a relative deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids can lead to a pro-inflammatory state and increase the risk of chronic disease.

The active compounds responsible for the widespread benefits of fish oil supplementation have been identified as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Although both are important for various aspects of human health, EPA is generally regarded as the anti-inflammatory fatty acid while DHA is more responsible for neurodevelopment and nerve protection.

EPA and DHA have been clinically studied in a variety of health conditions. For example, supplementation with these omega-3 fatty acids has been found to be beneficial for cardiovascular health, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmunity, cognition, mood, skin health, and atopic concerns, to name just a few clinical indications. Simply put, EPA and DHA should be considered for any systemic inflammatory condition and to support the nervous system.

One challenge that arises with omega-3 fatty acid supplementation is poor compliance. Most supplements require a great number of capsules or teaspoons per day to achieve an evidence-based dose of combined EPA and DHA. Cyto-Matrix’s Omega Liquid Forte solves this problem by providing 1350mg of EPA and 1300mg of DHA all in only one teaspoon, sourced from sardines, anchovies, and mackerel. These omega-3 fatty acids are provided in their highly bioavailable and native triglyceride form.

Omega Liquid Forte is also iFOS (International Fish Oil Standards) certified to meet the highest quality standards and guarantee optimal stability, potency, and purity. iFOS certification standards exceed even internationally recognized levels set by regulatory bodies and key trade organizations, such as the Council for Responsible Nutrition and the World Health Organization

To achieve this high standard, Omega Liquid Forte is molecularly distilled, without the use of chemicals or solvents, to safely remove harmful compounds such as heavy metals and organophosphate compounds. Finally, a proprietary antioxidant blend of GMO-free mixed tocopherols, green tea extract, rosemary, and vitamin C is added to effectively stabilize the oil blend.
