Dr. Chad in the Reebok Crossfit Games

Dr. Chad Prusmack MD, board-certified neurosurgeon and founder of the nutritional supplement company, PruTectRX, is presently competing in the Reebok CrossFit Games in the southwest region. Competing against over four hundred other athletes, Dr. Chad currently ranks 144. He has one more event next week and needs to be in the top twenty in his region and division to advance to the ESPN Crossfit Games.

Dr. Chad believes in "being a role model by being healthy in order to promote wellness for my patients. I want to spread my compassion for those who are less fortunate than myself, lift the spirits of those around me and encourage a lifestyle of education, health, hard work and a universal feeling of 'oneness'. I want to lead life by example."

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

OmegaSmoothiePruTect Key Lime Flavor
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).

Available Now

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.

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

OmegaSmoothiePruTect from PruTectRx
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 focuses on DHA and its impact on your brain. Part two will emphasize the benefits of EPA on your heart.

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.

To learn more about the benefits of SurgiPack go here, and look forward to the second installment of this Omega series in the weeks ahead.

Fend Off Free Radicals with Two Antioxidants You Should Know

Every day, your body's cells are under attack from free radicals in the form of pollution, smoke and food additives—all of which can damage cell structures. Over time, this damage can decrease your body’s natural ability to function properly.

One way to fight back is to eat foods high in antioxidants. Antioxidants attack these havoc-wreaking free radicals and help promote overall health and wellness. However, if you don't eat a lot of carbs or curry, you may need to supplement your diet with nutritional supplements rich in antioxidants.

Antioxidants & Energy

On their own, antioxidants do not create energy. Energy comes from the intake of calories in the form of carbohydrates, protein and fat. However, when you take a nutritional supplement rich in antioxidants, you give your body the ammunition needed to support the overall quality of your health, which in turn helps you feel more vibrant and energetic.

Two such antioxidants are Vitamin E and turmeric.

Vitamin E & Turmeric

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that prevents the production of free radicals when fat undergoes oxidation. Vitamin E comes in multiple forms, but its most biologically active form is α-Tocopherol and can be found abundantly in wheat germ, sunflower and safflower oils.

Turmeric is the predominant ingredient in Indian curry and is taken from Zingiberaceae, a perennial plant in the ginger family. The power behind this specific free radical fighter is curcumin, which also gives turmeric its distinctive yellow color.

Each of these powerful antioxidants can be found in OmegaSmoothiePruTect, a delicious liquid nutritional supplement. By adding OmegaSmoothiePruTect to your diet, you not only supply your body with antioxidants to fend off free radicals, but you also support joint tissue health, brain function and nervous system function with omega-3.

OmegaSmoothiePruTect Now Available

You can now buy OmegaSmoothiePruTect in two delicious flavors: Key Lime and Lemon Meringue. Add one tablespoon to your morning smoothie, oatmeal, yogurt, or just drink it straight.

Dr. Chad Surgical Recovery Tip: when combined with our ProteinPruTect protein powder as part of our Omega3ProteinPruTect Key Lime and Lemon Meringue bundles (10% off), you can now get all of your daily omega-3, aminos, immno-stimulation, GI support, and brain protection needs fulfilled pill-free when it's difficult to eat and swallow—particularly useful for cervical surgery as well as any surgical procedure that makes it hard to swallow pills.

Bioavailability & Omega-3 "Swirl Technology"

We are inundated with products that are allegedly jam-packed with great stuff, including vitamins an nutritional supplements that claim to offer things like 100,000 mg of Vitamin C per dose or an entire cow’s worth of protein in a single pill.

Even if something like that did exist (which it doesn't), your body isn't incapable of absorbing so much of one nutrient. The same is also true for products offering the right amounts of nutrients. Even if the body can theoretically process something, it will end up in the excretory system instead of being absorbed by your body unless there is something that stimulates absorption or what we call the "bioavailability" of these ingredients.

Omega-3 Bioavailability
Fish oil is chock full of essential omega-3 fatty acids, but it can be challenging to obtain all of its benefits in its original form. OmegaSmoothiePruTect ensures that you receive the full impact of all omega-3s contained in this high-dosage fish oil by breaking down fish oil molecules into smaller, more absorbable pieces with our proprietary "Swirl Technology."

Swirl Technology micronizes omega-3 for rapid and complete digestion, intestinal absorption and maximal assimilation into the bloodstream and body. Here's how it works:


In fact, a recent clinical study by the Centre for Nutritional Studies found that the formula in OmegaSmoothiePruTect is nine times more bioavailable than standard fish oil.

New Pill-Free Fish Oil Nutritional Supplement Delivers High-Dosage Omega-3 & Award-Winning Taste

Now available, OmegaSmoothiePruTect is a GMP certified, highly absorbable liquid fish oil that features up to 1,500 mg of the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA, per serving—without fishy taste, huge pills and gas and bloating. OmegaSmoothiePruTect is the sixth product as part of Dr. Chad Prusmack's PruTect Series.

Award-Winning Taste & Effectiveness
In recognition of both great taste and positive health impact, the formula in OmegaSmoothiePruTect won Gold for Best Healthy Oils & EFAs in the 2012 Alive Awards and the 2011 Best of Supplements Award by Better Nutrition Magazine.

Surgical Recovery Improvement
When combined with the PruTect Series protein powder, ProteinPruTect and OmegaSmoothiePruTect provide all of your daily omega-3, aminos, immno-stimulation, GI support, and brain protection needs—pill-free when it's difficult to eat and swallow, especially following surgery.

Daily Wellness Support
With the lemon meringue flavor featuring 720 mg of EPA and DHA and key lime flavor featuring 1,500 mg of the same, OmegaSmoothiePruTect improves neurological, heart, cardiovascular, and emotional function.

Rapid Absorption & Superior Bioavailability
OmegaSmoothiePruTect was created to increase the bioavailability of omega-3. The formula was created using proprietary "swirl technology" that significantly reduces the size of fish oil molecules. A recent study conducted by The Centre for Nutritional Studies found the OmegaSmoothiePruTect formula to be nine times more bioavailable than standard fish oil pills. This means that there is nine times the amount of fish oil that makes it into your bloodstream with OmegaSmoothiePruTect.

All Natural
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 sweetened with natural key lime and lemon meringue flavors, and is delicious without needing sugar or artificial sweeteners. It's the perfect compliment to yogurt, oatmeal and ProteinPruTect protein powder. Additionally, OmegaSmoothiePruTect is free of glutens, PCBs, heavy metals, and pesticides. OmegaSmoothiePruTect remains fresh up to one year, when refrigerated after opening.

According to Dr. Chad: "From my experience, OmegaSmoothiePruTect is the best tasting fish oil supplement available. I recommend it to my patients and anyone that has trouble swallowing traditional fish oil pills and also wants to avoid gas and bloating."

OmegaSmoothiePruTect Now Shipping
OmegaSmoothiePruTect is the sixth product in the PruTect Series of nutritional supplements and now exclusively available on Dr. Chad Prusmack's website here in key lime and lemon meringue.

The Secret to Effective Fish Oil Absorption: Enteric Coating

Omega3PruTect Fish Oil 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."
