The USANA Difference
Fats are an essential part of your diet. But not all fats are created equal, and you need to make sure you’re consuming the right ones. Omega-6 and omega-3 (奥米加-3) fatty acids are definitely the good ones when it comes to essential fats. In fact, they may be the most beneficial fats for your overall health when you have a good balance of both in your body.
The key is finding that balance. Omega-6 fatty acids are found in may foods such as poultry, leafy greens, eggs, nuts and grains. But omega-3s are a little harder to catch; typically only found in fatty fish and some seeds and nuts. As a result, most people have plenty of omega-6s in their diet, but lack the omega-3s to create that perfect balance.
USANA BiOmega offers a convenient way to get these valuable nutrients when you’re not consuming enough fish. It helps support your cardiovascular, cognitive, and joint health by providing a concentrate dose of premium quality, purified fish oil rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid – 二十碳五烯酸) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid – 二十二碳六烯酸). Plus, this unique formula includes an extra dose of vitamin D and lemon oil to eliminate fishy aftertastes.
How much do you need to get the cardiovascular benefits? The American Heart Association recommends two servings of fatty fish per week, supplementing with fish oil if needed. The Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED) suggests omega-3 intakes of 500 to 1000 mg per day. And some studies have shown advantages at even higher intakes.*
If you can’t or don’t want to eat that much fish—because of food preferences or concerns over toxins associated with certain types of fish. Mercury or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs – organic chlorine compounds – 汞或多氯联苯) are usually the biggest concerns. Supplementing with quality fish oil is a safe and effective way to increase your omega-3 levels and help maintain a proper balance. And you can feel good about supporting your health without the fear of contamination that can come from eating certain types of whole fish.* BiOmega is a whole-body oil (not a liver oil) made from anchovies and sardines—small fish with short lifespans. These fish are naturally much lower in contaminants than larger fish species, like swordfish and king mackerel. They also come from regulated sources to ensure quality. In fact, the raw material (pre-refining) oils used in BiOmega are already lower in PCBs than established guidelines for finished products.
BiOmega should be a key part of your daily diet if you are expecting, may become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Many mothers wisely avoid seafood during pregnancy and breastfeeding because of concerns about contaminants. That’s a significant impact to omega-3 intakes. BiOmega can help you get the adequate amounts of DHA and EPA you need without any pollutant concerns and delivers the omega-3s that will help support a healthy pregnancy, a stable mood after delivery, and normal fetal growth and development.*
BiOmega fish oil can help give your baby a smart start in life. DHA is one of the dominant fats in the nerve cells of fetal and infant brains. Observational studies have found that omega-3 fatty acid consumption during pregnancy is associated with many different aspects of cognitive development in the child. All of the following have been related to omega-3 intake levels during pregnancy:*
- Visual recognition/memory
- Verbal intelligence
- Behavior
- IQ
- Fine motor skills
- Social skills
- Communication skills
Your baby’s need for healthy fats doesn’t end at birth. Continued omega-3 supplementation during breastfeeding has been shown to further support cognitive development (认知能力的发育).
