When used daily, these ingredients work synergistically to support normal brain, heart, eye, and joint health as well as overall health and wellness.

OMEGAGIZE SOURCING Sadly, conventional fish oil supplements are full of synthetic fillers, artificial colorants and flavors and are irresponsibly sourced. Some even contain levels of mercury you don't want to be consuming. Not OmegaGize - Young Living supplements are the purest, cleanest ones around! The fish oil complex in OmegaGize is derived from some of the cleanest waters on the planet. OmegaGize capsules are rigorously tested to ensure a lack of these pollutants. Even the capsule of OmegaGize is ocean-derived ensuring the best quality and no fishy taste!

"The oil in OmegaGize is produced from carefully selected wild-caught Peruvian and Chilean coastal marine fish oil, one of the cleanest ocean areas in the world. Consisting mainly of anchovy, sardine, mackerel, skipjack, yellowfin, albacore and bigeye fish species.The fish oil used in OmegaGize is in triglyceride form (research shows this is the best form). All of the ingredients used in their products are heavily reviewed and inspected for the highest quality. Their vendors are audited and their ingredients are tested in-house to ensure they only offer the most beneficial products."

OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS The human body can make most of the types of fats it needs from other fats or raw materials, but that isn't the case for omega-3 fatty acids. These are essential fats, meaning the body can't make them from scratch and must get them from outside sources. Even if your diet is high in wild-caught fish, you still need supplementation.

Omega 3s are an integral part of cell membranes throughout the body and affect the function of the cell receptors in these membranes. That means they are vital for all of our cellular functioning and are especially important during pregnancy. Omega 3s provide the starting point for making hormones that regulate blood clotting, contraction and relaxation of artery walls, and inflammation.

Research has shown that Omega 3's can...

  • Help prevent heart disease and stroke
  • Support a healthy heart and blood pressure
  • Support healthy hormone levels (by aiding the body in keeping the cellular receptor sites (where hormones bind) repaired and in optimal condition)
  • Support auto-immune needs and conditions
  • Support the body's natural response to inflammation
  • Support the body's natural response to joint pain
  • Assist the body in hormone productions associated with mood disorders
  • Support to those with ADHD and focus needs
  • Support normal brain and nerve function which is important for older individuals

OTHER KEY INGREDIENTS

  • Vitamin D: Vitamin D is an essential supplement for optimal brain health, hormone levels, bone and joint health, and overall well-being. Vitamin D also plays a role in our immunity and general wellness. It can be hard to get enough Vitamin D each day through sun exposure and food alone, so taking supplements can help! And since Vitamin D is fat-soluble, it needs to be taken in the presence of fatty acids for proper absorption. OmegaGize has all that covered for us!

Research shows that Vitamin D…

  • Supports your immunity
  • Helps regulate mood and fight depression
  • Helps support the body's natural response to inflammation in the body
  • Supports normal growth and development of bones and teeth
  • CoQ10: CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that supports every cell in the body. We can think of CoQ10 like a battery for our cells, helping with the production and exchange of energy. It is a great addition to Omegagize because the two work synergistically to improve the health benefits of both supplements.
  • CoQ10 helps to facilitate the production of ATP, the energy currency within the body. Every cell within the body utilizes ATP to perform its functions, so a lack of CoQ10 could cause a shortage of energy to every cell and system in the body. CoQ10 levels naturally decline with age, making supplementation a great health habit.

Several studies show that CoQ10:

  • Helps protect the body from free radical damage
  • Produces energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance
  • Boosts the immune system

  • Clove essential oil: Cloves have long been used in eastern medicine for its health promoting properties. Clove essential oil is a powerful antioxidant that supports overall heart health.

  • Spearmint essential oil: High in carvone and limonene, spearmint is wonderful for digestive health and soothing intestinal discomfort.
  • German Chamomile essential oil: German Chamomile is a powerful antioxidant that supports healthy cholesterol levels, supports liver and gallbladder health and supports the body's natural response to inflammation.
  • Vitamin E (as rice bran oil): minimizes free radical damage within the body, promoting healthy cell function and overall health

OMEGAGIZE & CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH We're always thinking about cholesterol from the diet ... Most people don't realize that cholesterol in the body comes from two places: from the diet and from your internal production of cholesterol. Cholesterol is quite important to your body, because cholesterol is one of the major components of cell membranes. It's also the precursor for all the sex hormones. It's not all bad. It's just bad when there's too much and that depends on what kind of cholesterol is out of balance as well.

The primary way that omega-3 fatty acids support heart health is through their ability to reduce triglyceride levels. Triglycerides are a type of storage cholesterol in the body. When we eat, our bodies convert any unused calories into triglycerides and store them in fat cells. Later, hormones release the triglycerides for energy between meals. When triglyceride levels become too high, this can cause health problems, so most clinicians will monitor triglyceride levels along with other cholesterol levels. Omega-3 fatty acids are a simple way to help support healthy triglyceride levels. Omega-3 fatty acids may also modestly raise HDL (‘good' or ‘protective' cholesterol) levels.

The vast majority of Americans needing support for healthy cholesterol levels are taking a ‘statin' prescription drug to lower cholesterol. Here is some food for thought on that topic...

"At least 1 in 4 American adults over the age of 40 are currently taking a statin drug to lower their cholesterol. Soon that number is expected to reach 1 in 3. Statins work by inhibiting the enzyme HMG-CoA reductase, which is one of the facilitators of your body's production of cholesterol. But statins also impair production of CoQ10, and the resulting depletion can have very severe consequences.

"This is a very important topic," Schulman says. "Many who take statins have the side effects of muscle pain, fatigue and memory loss — to such a point that compliance becomes an issue; people don't want to be on statins anymore. It's been documented and recognized medically that these are real effects and that they're due to the statins. What's actually happening? The way a statin works is that it blocks your body's production of cholesterol.”

Besides shutting down your body's ability to produce ubiquinol, statin drugs also shut down the conversion of vitamin K1 to vitamin K2, which is critically important in many body functions, including heart health.

Impairing these three pathways — the production of cholesterol and CoQ10, and the vitamin K1 to K2 conversion — has adverse effects on the production of energy and on cardiovascular health, and here's why: when you reduce your ubiquinol levels, the conversion of your food to energy becomes less efficient, which leads to lower energy, fatigue and muscle pains.

And the longer you're on a statin drug, the more ubiquinol-starved your body becomes and the more severe the side effects become. Recently published papers have also detailed the cardiovascular repercussions of statins. As it turns out, they actually end up causing many of the disease endpoints the drugs promised to prevent."

OMEGAGIZE & EMOTIONAL HEALTH Several studies have shown the importance of omega-3 fatty acids when it comes to emotional health, especially in females and especially during pregnancy and the surrounding time frame. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for cell growth and development, and they assist with mental clarity - functions that are often ‘off' during times of increased emotional need or stress.

Studies have also found that reduced omega-3 status may predispose individuals toward needing mood support as well as other conditions. As always, we want to do all we can to stay above the health line and support our bodies on a daily basis, so supplementing with OmegaGize is a great starting point! If you're needing extra support, we always recommend finding a healthcare provider that you love and trust.
