Salmon Oil - The Best Choice*
Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are known as one of the most important nutrients for humans. However, the human body cannot synthesize Omega-3's on its own. There are numerous ways to obtain your omega-3 fatty acids, but cold water fish generally tend to have higher levels of oils containing these important nutrients. Salmon is a cold water fish that ranks among the highest and therefore makes it the most recommended fish source. This is the fish that is largely consumed by the Inuit (Eskimo) of the North Atlantic. Research studies focusing on this population found that despite their high fat intake, the Inuit suffer far less from coronary artery as well as other diseases. These findings appear to be related to their high intake of Omega-3 fatty acids.
Research indicates that a regular intake of Omega-3's can help to:
• Support cardiovascular health.

• Help improve blood lipid composition.

• Support respiratory functions.

Astavita Virgin Salmon Oil with AstaREAL® Astaxanthin - The Highest Quality
Astavita's Virgin Salmon Oil is of the highest quality. Fresh salmon from the cold waters of Norway are quickly rendered, enabling us to offer "virgin" quality salmon oil that has not been exposed to high heat, bleaching, or deodorizing. These processes can strip the oils of natural enzymes and natural antioxidants.
Because of the high quality and freshness of the fish source you will find our Virgin Salmon Oil does not leave a fishy aftertaste or after burp. This makes for a more pleasant experience and a greater willingness for continued compliance. The usual presence of a fishy taste or odor in many other fish oil products could be the result of a manufacturing process that uses a mixture of older and lower quality fish sources.
Astavita Virgin Salmon Oil also contains AstaREAL
® astaxanthin, a patented superior
antioxidant harvested from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. Our astaxanthin is
cultivated in our enclosed Bio systems in Maui, Hawaii and Gustavsberg, Sweden
maintaining the highest level of purity.
