EPA PLUS™ Fish Oil Concentrate of Omega-3 Polyunsaturates

EPA PLUS from Life Plus is a natural marine lipid concentrate that provides a dietary source of the valuable Omega-3 fatty acids Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). Past and present research has revealed important new evidence that a concentration of these marine lipids in the diet improve overall health by nutritionally supporting the natural control of blood lipids; the most well-known is cholesterol. It has now become common knowledge within the scientific community that maintaining a lower, more reasonable level of lipids can play a role in promoting good health by protecting against certain heart problems, improving endocrine functions, and at the same time supporting many enzyme functions in the body. The substance EPA also has a natural effect of helping maintain normal rates of clotting in the blood. When blood platelets become too sticky, they can clump abnormally fast, and more frequently, resulting in dangerous blood clots. EPA naturally lubricates them so that this process remains within the normal range, consistently. EPA also plays a key role in neurological functions, as well. The Eskimos and other societies with diets rich in these oils, from fish, are known to have a greatly reduced incidence of heart and circulatory problems. Many individuals are currently supplementing with the high quality EPA and DHA that is found in EPA PLUS helping them to maintain healthy lipid levels.

EPA PLUS is formulated from high quality fish oils that are concentrated from the flesh of deep sea, cold water fish and is contained in a natural preservative free gelatin capsule for convenient use.

WHY USE EPA PLUS?

For years scientists have been puzzled over how Eskimos, who eat so much fat, could have such healthy cardiovascular systems. After years of study, many scientists have concluded that their health is due to the high amount of Omega-3 fatty acids contained in the fish and other seafood that make up a majority of their diet. In all likelihood, you have probably been hearing quite a bit about the health benefits of Omega-3. In order for your cells to maintain their thin, fatty, outer membrane, which is needed to transport nutrients in and out of the cell and produce energy, they need essential fatty acids (Omega-3). These Omega-3 fatty acids support your heart and circulatory system, brain and central nervous system, your eyes and good vision, as well as promote emotional well being and positive mental outlook. They also help maintain already healthy cholesterol levels. While nuts, seeds, whole grains and dark leafy greens are all sources of Omega-3, the best sources are from seafood such as tuna, shrimp, salmon, cod, clams, crab, flounder, sole, halibut and catfish. Unfortunately, many of us do not consume sufficient amounts of Omega-3-rich foods. EPA Plus provides you with an easy, no-hassle way to supplement your diet to ensure that you are obtaining sufficient amounts of this valuable nutrient.

WHAT IS EPA PLUS?

EPA Plus is a natural marine-lipid concentrate that contains the valuable Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). During processing, care has been taken to ensure that the concentration of the Omega-3 fatty acids does not contain large amounts of vitamin A and D, which may be found in many other equivalent fish liver and body oils. Therefore, you can receive the optimal health benefits from Omega-3 without worrying about consuming too much vitamin A or D.

EPA & DHA

Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) is a member of the Omega-3 fatty acid family. EPA is required for the production of a special group of substances in the body called prostaglandins, which control blood clotting and other arterial functions. EPA also provides a natural approach to good circulatory system health. Of almost equal importance, but not as widely researched, is Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), a major component of the human brain tissues and the retinal tissues of the eyes. It also serves the other important function of the transmission of nerve impulses in the nervous system. EPA PLUS supplies these important fatty acids in the highest concentrations found and, in addition, it does not contain potentially harmful levels of Vitamins A and D, such as that found in equivalent amounts of many other fish liver and fish body oils.

ADDITIONAL LIFESTYLE OPTIONS TO ENSURE HEALTH

In order to support your overall good health, you should include plenty of Omega-3-rich foods in your regular diet. However, if you are unable to do so on a consistent basis, EPA Plus is the perfect solution. In addition to supplementing with EPA Plus, you may want to consider including VITA-E-COMPLEX as part of your supplementation routine to maximize the benefits of EPA Plus.

Suggested Use: One to two capsules two or three times per day with meals.
