Clinical studies have determined that the main benefits are derived from DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) and to a lesser extent EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid).<\/p>\n<p>Although you will receive various health benefits from Omega 3s when taken from plant sources such as\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/StarWestBotanicals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">flax seed<\/a>\u00a0oil, you may miss out on the special benefits from DHA and EPA. This is because oils from plant sources do not contain DHA or EPA. Instead they contain alpha-linolenic acid (<a href=\"\/recommends\/eVitamins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ALA<\/a>) which is a precursor to DHA and EPA.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore you have to convert the\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/eVitamins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ALA<\/a> to DHA and EPA.however, if your health is compromised in any way, or you are elderly this conversion may not take place.<\/p>\n<p>Only\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/Omega3DHAEsters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">fish oils<\/a>\u00a0provide DHA and EPA in a natural form that your body can easily assimilate. No conversion is required by the body. Natural\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/Omega3DHAEsters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">fish oils<\/a>\u00a0do however have a number of drawbacks:<\/p>\n<p>* High levels of contaminants in the form of PCB\u2019s.<br \/>\n* Heavy metals, including mercury.<br \/>\n* Low levels of DHA, the most beneficial component of fish oil.<\/p>\n<p>As most fish oil capsules do not come from the same country where they were encapsulated, they are also subject to lengthy transport in tankers, additional handling, and additives to prevent them from becoming rancid.<\/p>\n<p>Early in 2003\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/XtendLife\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Xtend-Life<\/a>\u00a0recognized these drawbacks and after a year of development perfected a fish oil product that addressed these problems!<\/p>\n<p>The result a pure pharmaceutical grade, molecularly distilled fish oil ester with NO CONTAMINANTS and with exceptionally high levels of DHA!<\/p>\n<p>This was made possible by using a cold deep water New Zealand fish called Hoki. This fish has naturally high levels of DHA which is further concentrated during the purification process. It is caught in the pristine Southern Ocean and is naturally free from contaminants.<\/p>\n<p>As another plus the fish is harvested, processed and the oil\/esters encapsulated in New Zealand under the strictest controls possible so there is no risk of contamination due to excessive handling.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, we provide the formula in the ester form instead of the usual triglyceride form of most fish oils. The body has to convert the triglycerides to ester in order to use it, so by taking it in the ester form in the first instance the bio-availability is greatly improved!<\/p>\n<p>And finally\u2026the purity and freshness of this product is such that we do not need to add any additives or preservatives.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note from\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/XtendLife\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Warren Matthews<\/a>, Chairman of Xtend-Life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Not only do our customers depend on us to provide the best oil available, but so do our staff, not to mention my family and myself.

Fish oil, rich in omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) has been proven in many clinical studies to benefit heart health, also supported by the American Heart Association guidelines which recommend the benefits of consumption of fish and fish oil. They recommend two servings for healthy persons and a daily serving of fish or fish oil supplement containing at least 900mg of fish oil for persons with heart disease.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lowers Triglycerides:<\/em>\u00a0The effectiveness of Fish oil in lowering blood triglycerides (fats) known to be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease has been well established in multiple clinical studies. Additionally, research has proven that DHA present in\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/Omega3DHAEsters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">fish oil<\/a>\u00a0lowers the level of small, dense particles of\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/CholestNatural\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">LDL<\/a>\u00a0cholesterol, which are associated with heart disease.

Fish oil stimulates blood circulation and increases the breakdown of fibrin, a compound involved in clot and scar formation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brain function<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Depression:<\/em>\u00a0Persons with mood disorders such as depression benefit from fish oil supplementation. Lack of\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/Omega3DHAEsters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">omega-3<\/a>\u00a0fatty acids and in particular DHA has been linked by researchers to depression. Fatty acids are essential in the healthy formation of the brain\u2019s nerve cell membranes and membrane fluidity. The brain is the richest source of fatty acids in the body, and because nerve cell function depends on proper membrane functioning and membrane fluidity, changes in membrane fluidity have a negative effect on behavior, mood and mental function.<\/p>\n<p><em>Aggression:<\/em>\u00a0A new study of teenagers has found that fish oil and DHA consumption relates to lower hostility rates in teenagers.

Fish oil may improve the efficiency of nerve impulses and neurotransmitters involved in brain function.<\/p>\n<p><em>Memory, learning and Alzheimer\u2019s Disease:<\/em>\u00a0Studies have proven that omega-3 fatty acids improve brain function and that intake of fish oil and DHA is linked to a lowered risk of developing Alzheimer\u2019s disease. Studies suggest that fish oil and DHA may protect the nervous system from degeneration. DHA and fish oil have been proven to stimulate memory and learning abilities.

Studies have shown improved control in asthmatics that eat fish rich in Omega-3 essential fatty acids on a weekly basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Skin disorders and skin health<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Skin disorders such as psoriasis have been shown to improve from fish oils. In the skin of persons with psoriasis the amount of compounds causing inflammation is many times greater than normal. Fish oil inhibits the production of these inflammatory compounds.\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/Omega3DHAEsters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fish oil<\/a>\u00a0improves the health of skin, nails and hair.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/recommends\/JointEasePlus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Arthritis<\/a>\u00a0and gout<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fish oil supplements have been shown to benefit in rheumatoid\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/JointEasePlus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">arthritis<\/a>\u00a0(RA), and other inflammatory forms of\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/JointEasePlus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">arthritis<\/a>, such as occurs in some persons with psoriasis and gout.

Research show that persons who consume 5-10 percent of their dietary energy consumption in the form of fish or fish oil, have less insulin resistance, which causes diminished glucose uptake and glucose metabolism in non-insulin dependent diabetics. Fish oil enhances insulin secretion from beta-cells in the pancreas, regulating blood sugar levels.

Only one fish is used to manufacture this oil. It is called New Zealand Hoki and it is harvested from the cold Southern Ocean surrounding the southern part of New Zealand. Unlike other fish oils this product has a high\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/FocusFormula\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">concentration<\/a> of DHA which scientist believe to be the most beneficial component of fish oil. Even though the crude hoki fish oil itself is considered to be the purest in the world, we still refine and purify it further by using a process called molecular distillation which removes any residue impurities and thus enables it to be considered pharmaceutical grade.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the advantages of\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/XtendLife\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Xtend-Life <\/a>s product over other fish oil products?<\/strong><br \/>\nFreshness and purity! Our oil is processed close to the port of landing, and unlike other products which have been transported all around the world in tankers and in less than ideal conditions it is not necessary to put in additives to mask any rancidity. Also, there is the comfort in knowing the type of fish used. Most other products use a mixture of fish type sourced from third world countries. Additionally, because we supply direct to our customers and do frequent production runs the finished product is never older than 60 90 days when shipped. This is quite unique in the supplement industry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is it in an \u2018ester\u2019 form?<\/strong><br \/>\nBio-availability! Most\u00a0<a href=\"\/recommends\/Omega3DHAEsters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">fish oils<\/a>\u00a0are in a triglyceride form. The body has to convert this triglyceride compound into an ester before it can be used. Therefore, by providing the compound in an ester form already we are providing the body with less work to do, enabling it to concentrate in actually using the ingredient\u2019s benefits! An ester is formed when an alcohol combines with an acid in a reaction to form an organic compound.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/recommends\/DermStore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Xtend Life\u2019s Omega 3 DHA Esters\" src=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20110328175424im_\/http:\/\/www.natural-holistic-health.com\/images\/dermstore1.gif\" alt=\"Xtend Life\u2019s Omega 3 DHA Esters\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are Omega 3\/<a href=\"\/recommends\/Omega3DHAEsters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">DHA<\/a>\u00a0Esters safe to use?<\/strong><br \/>\nAbsolutely!
