The doctors in our practice have spent a great deal of time researching Omega 3 – Fish Oil and other supplements over the last year. It is important to be educated on how to select a good nutraceutical manufacturer and product. There are likely many good companies that make Omega 3 – Fish Oil, multivitamins, and other products, but even more not so good ones. The company that produces your product should be willing to release information regarding the manufacturing, purity, and contents of their products.

Omega 3 Fish Oil: There are 3 important topics with Omega 3 Fish oil. 1) the source of fish 2) quality control in manufacturing – to rule out contaminants and heavy metals, 3) amount of EPA & DHA in each gel tab. EPA and DHA are the essential fatty acids that you need in your Omega 3 nutraceutical – not just “fish oil.” Studies show that individuals need 700-3000mg per day of EPA/DHA depending on their health needs. If you decide to take the Heart Healthy Omega 3 product, we are confident in its overall quality and manufacturing, which is why we personally take this product ourselves. In most cases, 1 gel tab/day of this product offers sufficient EPA/DHA. In you have questions, feel free to email us.
Multi-Vitamin: We have Chosen Nutrametrix for its high purity and isotonic delivery system. You mix the powdered supplement with water and drink on an empty stomach. This solution quickly passes through the stomach into the small intestine which is where maximum absorption occurs. There are no binders, fillers, wheat, dairy, or soy - which are typically found in compressed pills and can greatly decrease the body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
Vision Formula: The Nutrametrix Vision Formula has both lutein and zeaxanthin, which are important for the macula. This product is great for a patient with a history of macular degeneration. Your body cannot make lutein and zeaxanthin so it important to obtain them through diet and/or supplementation. You mix the powdered supplement with water and drink on an empty stomach. This solution quickly passes through the stomach into the small intestine which is where maximum absorption occurs. There are no “fillers,” “binders,” wheat, dairy, or soy which are typically found in pills and can greatly decrease the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. This product is a little more expensive than a pill form – but is a great product to consider.
