Vital Choice Omega-3 and vitamin D (vital to your health)
Did you know that Omega-3s Linked to Lower Heart-Risking Inflammation? A new finding adds weight to prior evidence that diets rich in omega-3s may lower levels of a protein associated with inflammation and higher heart risks. Health authorities worldwide recommend fatty fish and fish oil to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its adverse outcomes. The adverse outcomes that omega-3-rich diets may help prevent include stroke and second heart attacks. Our whole, unrefined wild Sockeye Salmon Oil is rich in omega-3s, vitamin D, and the potent orange antioxidantpigment (astaxanthin) natural to wild Sockeye. The purity and potency of our Salmon Oil are certified by NSF International. Naturally has NO mercury. (Many salmon oils must chemically remove heavy metals) order Vital Choice

Omega-3s and Human Health Vital Choice Wild Pacific Salmon is a exceptionally rich, pure source of the "marine" omega-3 fatty acids known as EPA and DHA. The results of countless studies indicate that these essential nutrients promote optimal health and may help prevent or ameliorate heart disease, Alzheimer's, depression, and other health conditions (please see note* at bottom of this page*).
See the Vital Choice White Paper for a detailed summary of the health benefits of omega-3s. You can also visit our newsletter archive and search for articles by health condition (heart, cancer, Alzheimer's etc.).
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends that healthy people enjoy two servings of fish every week, and says that people with heart disease may need higher intake levels obtainable only from supplemental fish oil. NOTE: Persons diagnosed with heart disease -- especially those using implanted cardiac defibrillators or taking blood thinning drugs-- must consult a physician before taking supplemental omega-3s or any other dietary supplement.

The health benefits of dietary omega-3s are blunted badly when diets are high in the omega-6 fatty acids that dominate most packaged and restaurant foods and vegetable oils (corn, safflower, soy, canola, cottonseed). To see the ratio of omega-3s to omega-6 fatty acids in various foods, click here.
Other Beneficial Nutrients in Fish Wild salmon is also the richest food source of two other valuable food factors: Vitamin D offers uniquely strong bone-building and anti-cancer benefits. For more information, go to our newsletter archive and search for "vitamin D". Sockeye salmon are the richest food sources; to see the vitamin D content of various fish species, click here. Astaxanthin -- This powerfully anti-inflammatory carotenoid-class antioxidant gives salmon its characteristic red-orange color and confers documented health benefits.
Notable quotes Here's what some experts say about the importance of diet and omega-3 fatty acids to your health:
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame and diet, and the cause and prevention of disease." --Thomas A. Edison
"You the individual can do more for your own health and well-being than any doctor, any hospital, any drug, any exotic medical devices." --C. Everett Koop, The Surgeon General’s Report
“Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can stop arrhythmia before it triggers sudden death from heart attacks. That makes fish such as salmon as potentially potent as any high tech heart drug and considerably cheaper to stock up on.” --Dr. Alexander Leaf, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
“Omega-3 fatty acids have so many biological roles because they are a primary element of health for virtually every cell and organ system in the body. Along with their partners, the omega-6 fatty acids, they keep our bodies in balance, modulating such basic physiological functions as inflammation, cell signaling, blood pressure, immune response, and the electrical excitability of heart and brain cells.” --Andrew Stoll, Faculty, Harvard Medical School
"By far, the best type of omega-3 fats are those found in fish. That's because the omega-3 in fish is high in two fatty acids crucial to human health, DHA and EPA. These two fatty acids are pivotal in preventing heart disease, cancer, and many other diseases. The human brain is also highly dependent on DHA, and maintaining high DHA levels can help deter depression, schizophrenia, memory loss, and Alzheimer's. Omega-3 is also very important for pregnant women and children, as researchers are now also linking inadequate intake of omega-3 to premature birth and low birth weight, and to hyperactivity in children." --Joseph Mercola, D.O., founder/director, The Optimal Wellness Center
“My anti-aging patients often start out eating fish two to three times a week. When they see how quickly their skin improves, they are quick to increase their intake to five to seven fish meals a week." --Nicholas Perricone, M.D., Author, The Wrinkle Cure, The Perricone Prescription, The Acne Cure
"I can tell you this - I am a physician. I did not learn one thing in medical school about true healing of the body. No doctor does. Every doctor only learns drugs. We learn to diagnose the case by evaluating the symptoms, then we pick a drug to treat those symptoms. We NEVER address the underlying problem." --Dr. Loraine Day
