Usana BiOmega - High Quality Ultra-pure Fish-Oil Supplement

By Angela Giles

Usana Health Sciences, Inc has been manufacturing and marketing health supplements for more than 18 years. It produces a range of nutritional supplements for maintaining optimum health. Usana BiOmega is one such product which supplies essential omega-3 fatty acids that are known to decrease the risk of several debilitating diseases.

Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of unsaturated fatty acids which are essential for normal functioning of bodily processes. Two important fatty acids in this family are the EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). It has been proven through research that these two contribute to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease to a large extent.

Omega-3 acids contribute significantly to promoting the health of the immune system, development of the neural functionality in children and sustaining bone health. Research has also shown their positive contribution to diminish the risk of diseases like cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and certain mental disorders.

DHA, EPA and other omega-3 acids are helpful in brain development in the fetus and after birth. Their presence in significant amounts has been found in nerve cells of infant brains. Experimental studies in children with learning and behavioral disorders have shown that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation has lead to improvement in the children's learning and behavior.

All oily fish like sardines, mackerel, salmon and herring found in cold sea water are a rich source of fatty acids. But along with the beneficial acids, they also contain traces of nickel, lead, mercury and other heavy metals which can be harmful to the health. Commercial refining processes, in their effort to remove contaminants, also tend to remove the fatty acids.

Usana BiOmega is produced in a state-of-the-art facility employing processes like double molecular distillation which removes all presence of contaminants and heavy metals while retaining the fatty acid content. It contains a concentrated dose of both EPA and DHA along with natural preservatives to keep the product fresh in storage.

Usana BiOmega also contains Vitamin D which is essential in maintaining bone health and lung function but is found to be lacking in our diet. The body's daily requirement of omega-3 fatty acids is conveniently packed in just two capsules. The capsules are available in a lemon flavoring to remove the typical fishy aftertaste of fish-oil products.

Usana BiOmega totally adheres to the norms of U.S.P for purity, uniformity and potency. They have been found to be most effective for maintaining adult health. Their formulations also serve to effectively supplement the nutritional requirements of pregnant women.
