How
many grams of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids are found
in a single capsule of OmegaRx™?
Each OmegaRx™ capsule contains 600 mg. of long-chain
omega-3 fatty acids. This is double the amount found
in health-food grade fish oil capsules. Four OmegaRx™
capsules would supply 2.4 grams of long-chain omega-3
fatty acids, which is similar to that found in one
tablespoon of cod liver oil.
How
many grams of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids in a
teaspoon of OmegaRx™?
One teaspoon of liquid OmegaRx™ contains 2.7 grams
of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. This is slightly
more than one tablespoon of cod liver oil. This is
equivalent to taking nine (9) capsules of typical
health-food grade fish oil. Each teaspoon of OmegaRx™
contains 1800 mg. (1.8 g) of EPA and 900 mg. (0.9 g)
of DHA.
Why
this particular ratio of EPA and DHA?
The 2:1 ratio of EPA
and DHA in OmegaRx™ is virtually the same as that
used in all scientific studies conducted with
pharmaceutical-grade fish oil reporting clinical
benefits.
How
much OmegaRx™ should I take?
A good maintenance dose is 2.5 grams of long-chain
omega-3 fatty acids each day. This dosage represents
either four OmegaRx™ capsules or one teaspoon of the
liquid OmegaRx™. This is the amount found in a
tablespoon of cod liver oil. Individuals who will use
the liquid OmegaRx™ are those who require higher
amounts of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids or find
taking the liquid easier than taking large numbers of
capsules.
Why
is OmegaRx™ the best values?
To manufacture superior-grade fish oil requires
extensive purification. In fact, it takes 100 gallons
of health-food grade fish oil to make one gallon of
pharmaceutical-grade fish oil. Only
pharmaceutical-grade material makes high-dose
supplementation possible due to lack of toxins and
gastric distress common with other fish oils at
recommended dose levels.
How
should I store the OmegaRx™ capsules?
Soft gelatin capsules are best stored between 59 and
75 degrees in a dry, dark container. This is why each
container contains an absorbent to maintain a defined
degree of humidity. The shelf life of the capsules is
two years under these conditions.
How
should I store the OmegaRx™ oil?
After opening the liquid OmegaRx™, carefully remove
the plug, and then discard it. Put the bottle in the
freezer to maintain its potency. Always shake the
container well before using to better disperse the
flavor. The liquid OmegaRx™ has a one-year shelf
life under these conditions.
What
does liquid OmegaRx™ taste like?
Liquid OmegaRx™ has remarkably little taste or odor,
especially when kept in the freezer. However, here are
some additional tips to improve taste:
r Eat a small piece of
citrus fruit (lime, lemon, or orange) with the oil.
The citrus flavor will mask any residual taste.
Have a sip of a cup of decaffeinated coffee with
OmegaRx™.
Make a Big Brain Shake with 2 cups of berries, 30
grams of protein powder and 1-3 teaspoons of Liquid OmegaRx™.
The protein powder will emulsify the oil plus you
instantly create a Zone meal that includes your daily
supplementation with OmegaRx oil.
Take 1/2 a serving of an OmegaZone™ Lemon Chiffon
meal replacement bar, then take your Omega Rx™ and
eat the remainder of the OmegaZone™ bar.
This will completely eliminate any taste. By
doing so, you have a very quick Zone meal with your
daily dose of Omega Rx™ fish oil. This is the ideal
way to start the day.
