MarineOmega: The fats of life

Get this: Poor diet that consists of eating fatty treats, combined with a hectic lifestyle, can cause a major impact on the body’s energy levels and total well-being. Lack of nutrients, not enough fluid intake, stress, and sleep deprivation can zap out energy in a flash. We are all so guilty of that. But at the end of the day, we all want the same thing and that is for the body to function at its best.

Aside from eating healthy, there is an easier way to keep the body in tiptop shape and that is by taking vitamins and mineral supplements. A vital nutrient that our bodies lack is omega-3 fatty acid, which comes from fish (like salmon, herring, and mackerel). For thousands of years now, fish, one of the healthiest food sources, has been part of the human diet. However, most people aren’t getting much of that these days.

Recently, Nu Skin Enterprises launched Pharmanex’s MarineOmega, a dietary supplement that provides essential omega-3 fatty acids with krill oil rich in EPA and DHA for optimal health, wellness which includes normal heart and brain function, immune and joint health.

"Fish is one of the healthiest food sources primarily because of the type of fat it carries, but most people aren’t getting enough of these fatty acids in their diet," says Glenn Cheney, technical communications manager for Pharmanex. "In the last 200 years, humans lack fish in their diet which brought about health conditions such as allergies, anything inflammatory like arthritis, and cardiovascular diseases."

So, if you want to try a well-developed product, and return to a diet of omega-3 fatty acids, take two capsules of MarineOmega in the morning and at night with meals. For P3,786 you get 120 capsules that contain ultra-pure fatty acids from fish oil, vitamin E, and natural lemon oil (to give a pleasant, non-fishy smell). Another ingredient that’s special in this product is krill oil, which is high in phospholipids necessary for forming and protecting nerve membranes.

"MarineOmega is the cleanest source of Omega-3 with a nice addition of krill oil," explains Cheney. "We source our fish far from toxic sources. Other brands with omega-3 fatty acids products may contain things like mercury and that’s a huge concern."

Because omega-3 supports anti-inflammatory states in the body, any condition that is related to inflammation will be improved, like eczema, psoriasis, arthritis, and even pain because pain is related to the inflammation process in the body. So, you can reduce the body’s pain response and turn it into a natural response that isn’t so dramatic. This is definitely good for everyone – from men to pregnant women and even children (just be careful of the big capsule).

There are other benefits of fatty acids from MarineOmega. One is that it improves the brain function by increasing IQ and lessens bipolar disorders, attention deficit disorder, and even dyslexia. Second, it has a skin benefit. Mind you, wrinkles are caused by micro-inflammation and since omega-3 is closely connected to inflammation, the skin will look better or absolutely gorgeous.

Since there are a lot of fish oil brands, make sure you get something that is backed up by research just to be on the safe side.

Cheney points out, "The great thing about Pharmanex, compared to other companies, is no doubt the quality of science. We have over 130 internal scientists in the company and the scientific advisory board, which is a collection of the top scientists around the world like Carl Djerassi (inventor of the contraceptive pill) and Lester Packer (father of the antioxidant theory). We consult with them, make products with their expertise."

With MarineOmega, you’ll definitely get a high-quality product from the pristine waters or Antarctica. Plus, a healthy mind and body in the best shape ever. And, yes, glowing skin as well.
