A Medical Miracle According to Dr. Barry Sears, author of The Omega RX Zone, "high-dose ultra refined fish oil is as close to a medical miracle as we will see in the 21st century." This advanced form of fish oil (a very pure form of omega-3 fatty acids), is believed to offer extraordinary health benefits in treating chronic diseases, improving athletic performance, and enhancing emotional well-being. It apparently does so by helping to reduce inflammation and increase blood flow throughout the brain and body.
Omega-3 cannot be made by our bodies, so we have to get it from food or supplements. Omega-3 is intentionally removed from oils we buy so that they have a long shelf life. In addition, many oils today are hydrogenated oils which have a connection to heart disease.
You might ask why you cannot just eat more fish to get sufficient omega-3 for your health. The answer is, unfortunately, simple: many of the fish we now find in the oceans, lakes, and streams around the world contain dangerously high levels of mercury and other toxins. The health risks of these toxins may well outweigh the potential benefits of the omega-3 we can get by eating more fish. What's more, you would have to eat much more fish than is feasibly possible to help treat some of the many diseases for which fish oil is being used today. Medical researchers and practitioners from around the world are using high-dose fish oil (from 2 grams to 25 grams or more a day) not only for health maintenance, but also to help treat a variety of health conditions, including asthma, bronchitis, emphysema, high blood pressure, heart disease, arthritis, depression, hot flashes, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, Alzheimer's, attention deficit disorder (ADD), and many more. It is even being used by some in cancer treatments and to help reduce the risk of metastases.
It is important not to be misled by dramatic price differences among the various grades of fish oil products currently available. There is a vast range of both potency and purity not only between these grades, but also often between individual products within a particular grade. "There are three grades of fish oil. The first is cod liver oil. The second is health-food grade fish oil. And finally there is pharmaceutical-grade fish oil. What distinguishes one from another is the purity and concentration of the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. More importantly, the long-term use of any fish oil is compromised by its impact on the gastric system which ultimately determines the amounts that you can take. Each step in the refining process adds additional cost to the final product, but the increased purity justifies the cost and the benefits.
Cod Liver Oil
This is the lowest quality fish oil since it has a low concentration of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and contains the highest levels of contaminants (organic mercury, PCB's, and DDT). In addition, high-dose usage of cod liver oil is not recommended due to the high levels of Vitamin A found in this form of fish oil. Typically, a tablespoon of cod liver oil contains approximately 2.5 grams of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Although this is the most inexpensive form of fish oil, long-term compliance is exceptionally poor because of its taste profile.
Health Food-grade Fish Oils
The levels of contaminants in fish oils is often determined by the size of the fish and their relative rank in the food chain. Small fish (such as sardines and anchovies) are short-lived and therefore are less prone to accumulate environmental pollutants. On the other hand, larger fish such as salmon and mackerel are predatory species that are long-lived and therefore contain higher levels of pollutants. Most health-food grade fish oils are fish body oils extracted from the fish. If the label says it comes from a particular species of fish (i.e. salmon oil) then you know it is a health-food grade fish oil. These oils are only sold in soft gelatin capsules because they still have an extremely poor taste profile (to see why, simply bite into a capsule to release the oil). A slightly more purified type of health food grade fish oil includes those that have been subjected to a very limited amount of molecular distillation to remove some of the cholesterol in order to be labeled "cholesterol-free". A typical one-gram capsule of health-food grade fish oil contains approximately 300 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Another type of higher-grade health-food fish oil is known as "fish oil concentrate". This type of fish oil consists of ethyl esters of the fish oil that has been subjected to fractional cooling. The more saturated fats will solidify, leaving behind a more concentrated solution of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. However, this fractional cooling does not remove the PCB's or the long-chain monoene fatty acids that give rise to significant gastric distress. A one-gram capsule of this thermally fractionated health-food grade fish oil will contain up to 500 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Health-food grade fish oils are acceptable in small amounts (no more than 3-4 capsules per day) without inducing significant gastric problems. However, higher doses require a much more purified type of oil; pharmaceutical-grade fish oil.
Ultra Refined Fish Oil
Ultra refined fish oil starts with thermally fractionated health-food fish oil that is then distilled by highly complex refining technology into fractions rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that are exceptionally low in the long-chain monoenes (that cause gastric distress) and pollutants such as PCB's and oxidized and polymerized lipids. The individual fractions are then combined to provide the most appropriate balance of EPA and DHA for the finished oil. The typical one-gram capsule of pharmaceutical-grade fish oil will have at least 600 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. This may not seem a major concentration improvement compared to the health-food grade fish oils, however, the increase in the purity of the oil is why it costs nearly twice as much. This purity is also reflected in a dramatically improved taste profile. Only ultra refined fish oils enable you to consume the required daily intake of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids needed to alter eicosanoid synthesis without gastric distress or fear of accumulation of environmental pollutants. Note: Vitamin E is often included in fish oils as a preservative. At low levels, approximately 5 I.U./gram of fish oil, it is protective. At higher levels, such as 20 I.U./gram of fish oil, it can actually speed up the oxidative process. OmegaRx ultra refined fish oil contains a minimum of 60% of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (although it routinely reaches 75%) with 5 I.U. of Vitamin E per gram of fish oil."

According to Dr. Barry Sears, the fetus' demand for fatty acids is greatest in the last trimester when the brain cells develop at a high rate. |
|
According to epidemiological studies, pregnant women who consume large amounts of omega-3 fatty acids tend to carry their babies for a longer time and have lower rate of premature births. |
|
Fish oil, a source of omega-3 fatty acids also helps with preclampsia, gestational diabetes, and post-partum depression. |
|
After birth, women should continue supplementing with omega-3 oils because it gets depleted thru breastfeeding (it can take up to two years after breastfeeding for the women's body to acquire enough essential fatty acids--with no supplementing). |
According to Dr. Barry Sears, the normal health maintenance dosage for Omega RX ultra refined fish oil is four capsules (or one teaspoon of liquid) a day, which contains about 1.6 grams of EPA and 800 milligrams of DHA. In his book The Omega RX Zone, Dr. Sears gives recommendations for higher dosages to be taken for specific health problems. For people with asthma or bronchitis, for instance, Sears recommends beginning with 5-10 grams a day (2-4 teaspoons of liquid). For emphysema, Sears recommends much higher dosages (up to 25 grams). In all cases, Sears also recommends controlling your insulin through "The Zone" balance of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Sears also recommends specific blood tests that can be taken to help determine how much pharmaceutical-grade fish oil you actually need. And he discusses potential (but rare) side effects of very high dosages and what you can do about them.

Health care professionals
(MDs, nurses, and so on)--
Zone Labs states that the standards of purity and potency of its ultra refined fish oil have been certified by a third-party organization called NutraSource Diagnostics Inc, using "international fish oil standards." Zone Labs also states that the certification included tests for dioxins, furans, PCBs, mercury, and methyl mercury--all substances that can be harmful to your health. According to Dr. Sears, "the levels of PCBs in Omega Rx are 50 times lower than the newest proposed fish oil standards. To put this in perspective, the levels of PCBs are measured in the 10ths of parts per trillion. As far as the mercury, it can't be detected even using the most sensitive instrumentation in the world." If you're considering purchasing an omega-3 fish oil product other than Omega RX, don't just base your decision on price. Be sure to carefully check the potency and purity of the product. Get the name of the organization that did the testing of the product you are considering and check the purity standards against those of Omega RX and available through Sears Labs. Be sure to get a product with at least 400 mg EPA and 200 mg DHA per gram of fish oil. According to Dr. Barry Sears, this EPA to DHA ratio of 2:1 "is virtually the same ratio used in all scientific studies with ultra refined fish oil reporting significant clinical benefits."
