Head and Heart: Part Two of a Two-part Series about the Benefits of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 Fatty Acids are comprised primarily of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and each plays a significant role in supporting your body’s two most important organs: your brain and your heart. Part one in this series focused on DHA and its impact on your brain. Part two emphasizes the benefits of EPA on your heart.

A Healthy Heart

As obesity rates continue to rise, so too will the rates of heart disease. A key problem is that we are ingesting too much fat. Well, let me correct that. We are ingesting too much of the wrong fat, but not enough of the right fat. When we have an imbalance of the fat we ingest our hearts are more at risk. Bad fats thicken blood and harden arteries. Good fats, on the other hand, have been shown to help support healthy heart function.

Omega-3

Omega-3 essential fatty acids comprise a good portion of these good fats. High quantities of Omega-3 can be found in cold-water fish such as salmon and sardines, and it is also available as a supplement in fish oil. A key component of Omega-3 is EPA. When EPA enters the body it helps to support healthy heart function. One of its major benefits is that it helps to actually reduce the viscosity of blood, improving its flow through the circulatory system. The structure of red blood cells plays a major role in how easily blood flows throughout the circulatory system. Anything from diet pollutants can have a negative impact on blood health, but an increased intake of EPA helps to fortify red blood cell membranes, resulting in lower blood viscosity (systolic) and blood stickiness (diastolic).

Fish oil is loaded with EPA, but fish oil typically comes with a not surprisingly fishy taste. OmegaSmoothiePrutect, however, is a new drinkable fish oil that is now available as a smoothie that comes in two delicious flavors – key lime and lemon meringue. OmegaSmoothiePrutect is part of the PruTect family of products that combined with ProteinPruTect helps your body more quickly recover from surgery.

This Is Your Brain

Your brain is the thought center of your body. As you age, however, its ability to learn and retain information decreases for a number of reasons. Brain cells get worn down over time due to oxidized stress. Oxidized stress is caused by exposure to free radicals that are brought into the body through pollution and certain things that we eat. DHA actually helps to counteract the negative effects that are caused by oxidized stress.

DHA makes up 97% of the essential Omega-3 Fatty Acids in the brain. Its purpose is to provide fluidity in the brain and assist with neurotransmission. During the aging process, however, the brain essentially uses up DHA and it is necessary to replenish these reserves. Because our bodies don't actually produce DHA, it is necessary to consume this essential fatty acid either in the foods we eat or in supplemental form.

This Is Your Brain on DHA

By increasing your intake of DHA you take steps to support your brain function and mental capacities. It is very important that you replenish the DHA that is lost naturally through the aging process. When your diet includes enough DHA, your brain is able to retain its necessary fatty composition in order to keep firing on all cylinders.

In addition, DHA is also a key component of the eye's retina. Similar to the brain, the eye requires DHA to improve fluidity and to aid in the transmission of light. DHA deficiency is related to both structural and functional eye issues, but by increasing supply of DHA you can help support the eye's overall health and functionality.

Any Questions?

The good news is that you can now take steps to ensure your diet has the proper amount of DHA to support lasting brain function. DHA is most available in fish oil, but fish oil typically comes with a not surprisingly fishy taste. There is a way, however, to avoid this fishy taste with the delicious and drinkable liquid, OmegaSmoothiePrutect. OmegaSmoothiePrutect is part of the PruTect family of products that combined with ProteinPruTect helps your body more quickly recover from surgery.

How a Spoonful of Naturally Sweetened Fish Oil Makes the Omega-3 Go Down

Mary Poppins was onto something when she sang about adding a spoonful of sugar to make something healthy like fish oil go down.

But what if you don't want your fish oil nutritional supplement loaded up with sugar? You could take a fish oil softgel but they're usually big and/or lead to gas and bloating.

Is there something naturally sweet that can make liquid fish oil go down?

Smoothie Power
As you might imagine, liquid fish oil by itself is not the best tasting stuff in the world. Enter the power of the naturally sweetened smoothie.

OmegaSmoothiePruTect is an all-natural and sugar-free formulation of fish oil that looks and tastes just like a key lime or lemon meringue smoothie. OmegaSmoothiePrutect proves that, when mixed with the proper ingredients, even a spoonful of liquid fish oil can be a delicious addition to oatmeal, yogurt or even straight up. And, with all due respect to Mary Poppins, it doesn’t even need a spoonful of sugar to go down.

Not sure? If you don't like the way OmegaSmoothiePrutect tastes, we will refund your money.

The Secret to Effective Fish Oil Absorption: Enteric Coating

If you've ever taken Omega-3 fish oil supplements, you may have experienced gas, bloating, bile emulsification, and the dreaded "fishy burps." Omega3PruTect's enteric coating eliminates all of these issues, and also helps maximize absorption. There's nothing fishy about it.

Enteric coating is a resin derived from the skin of the Indian shellac beetle. While this may sound less-than-appetizing, this coating is tasteless, natural, chemical-free, and, more importantly, helps prevent stomach acid prematurely dissolving and releasing each capsule's contents. Enteric-coated capsules are instead absorbed in the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract where they have the most benefit, 60 minutes after being ingested.

The resulting increased absorption leads to the greater red blood cell incorporation and bioavailability of Omega-3, so you get higher potency and maximum benefit of each capsule and its 780mg of active ingredients. Enteric-coated, GMP certified Omega3PruTect fish oil supplements are only available from Dr. Chad and not in Walgreens, CVS, GNC, Costco or grocery stores.

Testimonial
From one of our customers in Chicago: "Omega3PruTect is the only fish oil I've ever tried that didn't upset my stomach. I hate to sound gross but the burping up fish flavor is not there anymore. Good stuff."
