Highly Concentrated EPA and DHA . Nutraceutical Sciences Institute offers the largest selection of pure and great -tasting omega oils and softgels - Pharmaceutical Grade - Molecularly Distilled with high elemental levels of Omega-3 EPA & DHA, and purified through molecular distillation to ensure the absence of impurities, including PCBs and heavy metals. All Nutraceutical Sciences Institute products surpass all national and international pharmaceutical standards for freshness and purity, and are free from heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs. Every batch is lab tested to guarantee exceptional freshness and purity levels. How Does NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA work? Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated "good" fats found in oil from coldwater fish such as salmon, mackerel and tuna, or in seeds of flax, walnuts, hemp and other plants. They're classified as "essential" because your body needs them for complete health, yet cannot produce them on its own. They must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Omega-3 EFAs play an important part in cardiovascular wellness by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels, blood pressure and heartbeat. They're believed to reduce the "stickiness" of blood cells (also known as platelet aggregation), promoting healthy circulation. The American Heart Association recommends consuming fatty fish at least twice a week, or that omega-3 EFAs be obtained through regular supplementation, for heart health protection. Omega-3 EFAs may also contribute to neurological, or brain, health. Nearly 60 percent of the human brain is composed of structural fat, a third of which is docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). DHA is essential for the proper growth and development of the infant brain, and appears to affect function throughout one's lifetime. Low levels of this important fatty acid may be connected to increased incidence of poor mood, personality and behavior. Because omega-3 EFAs can be converted into anti-inflammatory substances (prostaglandins and leukotrines), they're also believed to provide joint support, promoting flexibility, mobility and potential pain relief. NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA has been formulated to contain optimal levels of the omega-3 EFAs, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). While typical fish oil supplements contain only 180 mg of EPA and 120 mg of DHA, Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA contains 400 mg of EPA and 200 mg of DHA per one-softgel serving. Mega EFA contains oil from fresh, deep-sea, coldwater sardines and anchovies, harvested from waters off the coast of South America. It also undergoes the process of molecular distillation to ensure mercury and any other potential contaminants are eliminated. Mega EFA conforms to the Council for Responsible Nutrition's (CRN) monograph, which establishes strict quality standards for manufacturing marine-sourced omega-3 EFAs. In addition, it's the only fish oil product on the market to contain USP-verified ingredients, thus setting the standard for quality. NSI® Mega EFA Omega-3 EPA & DHA is better because it:. Contains optimal levels of omega-3 EFAs, EPA and DHA, together in one easy-to-take softgel. Is derived from high-quality, molecularly distilled fish body oil, not fish liver oil.

"This is a very good product. The gel pills are big , but I don't have any problem swallowing them. I take them with food and also on an empty stomach. I usually burp a couple of times shortly after taking these pills, but no biggie. The benefits far out weigh the occasional belch."

"EFAs are crucial. The typical American diet is poor in these nutrients, and even though I eat a diet that includes foods that have EFAs, I still supplement with these. Cardiovasuclar, brain, etc, all need them to function. They are not expensive considering the benefits. The NSI is a high quality supplement."

"The most noticeable difference after a month of taking this supplement, I noticed I was not forgetting stuff like I had been in the past. This was most evident at the office where people ask you 10,000 things at once. Makes the day go by much better when you can stay focused... Taste, who cares, I take them in the morning with my cup of joe on an empty stomach."

"I used to have to take over 30 'ordinary' fish pills to get my 5 grams of combined EPA/DHA. With the Mega EFA, I only need to take 1/3 that amount. I highly recommend this product to anyone who currently takes a fish oil supplement. For those of you who aren't taking fish oil, what are you waiting for? There is no miracle pill out there, but fish oil comes darn close. Start taking this today!"
