Natural Factors RxOmega-3 Factors decrease the risk for cardiac disease and approximately 60 other issues, including cancer, stroke, arthritis, high blood pressure, skin diseases, and diabetes. They contain 630 mg. of long-chain fatty acids. Scientific research has shown the 2:1 ration of 400 mg. of EPA and 200 mg. of DHA to produce positive clinical results.

The majority of individuals in North America eat too much omega-6 oil, which is found in meats and vegetable oils, but they do not consume enough omega-3 oils. The longer chain omega-3 fatty acids (like eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA, and docosahexanoic acid, DHA) come from coldwater fish including salmon, mackerel, and halibut. The human body is able to convert alpha-linolenic acid from flaxseed oil, a short chain omega-3 fatty acid, to long chain amino acids, but the efficiency of rate is far lower than if they were consumed them from fish oils in the form of long chain amino acids. Research demonstrated that many people do not have an easy time converting alpha-linolenic acid (the short chain omega-3 fatty acid in flaxseed oil) to EPA and DHA.

When the body lacks long-chain fatty acids, specifically EPA and DHA, the individual can have unhealthy, cell membranes. This causes them to be unable to hold water, electrolytes, and necessary nutrients. It becomes difficult for cells to communicate with others and for them to be controlled by regulating hormones. This inability to function properly is a main determinant in the body developing chronic diseases, including cancer, arthritis, diabetes, and cardiac disease. Long chain omega-3 fatty acids, like those found in Natural Factors RxOmega-3 Factors 120 sgels, have demonstrated an ability to protect against the effects of disease by assisting in healthy cell membrane activities.

Natural Factors RxOmega-3 Factors have pharmaceutical grade marine lipid concentrate which supplies strong, perfectly balanced EPA and DHA for ideal efficacy in only one softgel. A stringent quality control (Q.C.) process is in place to ensure that Natural Factors RxOmega-3 Factors 120 sgels do not have toxic environmental contaminants or heavy metals (e.g., mercury).
