OMEGA XL® Potency Superior To Fish Oil & Other Omega-3’s!
Clinical research and double-blind studies indicate that OMEGA XL® can provide a potent means of controlling and inhibiting the damage caused by the excesses of the body's inflammatory responses.
These findings prompted a series of animal studies to compare OMEGA XL® with other health food products claiming anti-arthritic properties. OMEGA XL® was compared with Flax Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Salmon Oil and Max EPA (fish oil) in the adjuvant induced poly arthritis test system.
High Performing “Weapons Grade” Omega-3
The results of this research reveal that Omega XL is a high performing “Weapons Grade” Omega-3, exceeding potency and efficacy among commonly available fish oils.
On a dosage per body weight basis OMEGA XL® is:
- 100 times more potent than Max EPA
- 125 times more potent than green lipped mussel
- 175 times more potent than Evening Primrose Oil
- 175 times more potent than Salmon Oil
- 200 times more potent than Flax Oil in controlling the joint swelling associated with arthritis.
The unique grouping of fatty acids in OMEGA XL® has evolved as the most potent group of Omega-3 lipids in blocking the 5-lipoxygenase metabolic pathway responsible for inflammation in the body.

Omega XL® Helps Promote Healthy Brain Function!
Exciting news is coming from the frontiers of medical research regarding the maintenance of healthy brain functioning and the improvement of several disease conditions. The reports are in: a safe and natural dietary substance called omega-3 fatty acids can help prevent and battle certain diseases of the central nervous system and brain. Omega XL® is a wonderfully pure and natural, potent and stable formulation of these essential fatty acids.
Brain Structure And Function Relies On Healthy Fats
The brain you are utilizing to read and comprehend this text is comprised of more than 60% fatty tissues. The nerves that are used to transmit information within the body and brain are also made of mostly omega-3 fatty acids—precisely the kind that are provided in abundance in Omega XL®
Omega-3 fatty acids are critical structural building blocks for many central nervous system (CNS—brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system tissues (PNS—the nerves that serve the rest of the body). They are also part of the composition of many crucial biochemicals that circulate throughout the body.
One highly significant factor in the proper functioning of the nervous system, the body’s personal messenger system, is efficient communication between individual cells. Each of us is composed of trillions of cells, and it is very important that they have an effective communication system.
Inter-cellular communication is greatly enhanced by an adequate intake of dietary omega-3’s because these fatty acids help keep the delicate external cellular membranes pliable, flexible and permeable. Nutrients, oxygen, water, waste products and a number of enzymes and hormones must pass through these cell membranes—which happen to be made primarily of fatty molecules.
Food For Thought!
Diet may have as much to do with brain functioning as other factors, like genetics and environment. Research indicates that many common ailments may be related to a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids. This list includes depression, Alzheimer’s disease, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dementia, bipolar disorder, and issues involving memory, learning and mood stability.[1]
The primary ingredients in Omega XL® are two essential fatty acids, DHA and EPA. These critical biochemicals, when present in the proper concentrations, are linked to improved brain functioning. Increased ability to focus attention, maintain alertness and retain a stable mood have all been associated with proper intake of omega-3’s. Overall mental clarity and a generalized sense of well-being have also been noted.
Protects Against Stress!
One way that omega-3’s may help improve brain functioning is that they have a protective effect against stress, in general. The very fact that neurological structures are largely comprised of fatty molecules, and many neurotransmitters and hormonal biochemical messengers are also fat-based molecules, indicates the tremendous importance of keeping a steady stream of fatty acids in the bloodstream for daily functioning, repair of tissue decay and production of circulating neurochemicals.
The Lancet published a study in 1988 citing a positive correlation between diets high in fish, the most abundant known source of dietary omega-3’s, and lower incidence of depression in national populations. In 2003 The American Journal of Psychiatry reported a similar relationship between high fish consumption and lower national rates of bipolar disorder.[2]
Depression An Bipolar!
Dr. Joseph Hibbeln of the National Institutes of Health was cited on “McMan’s Depression and Bipolar Web” with the following assertion, after completing several fish intake studies: “In the last century, [Western] diets have radically changed and we eat grossly fewer omega-3 fatty acids now. We also know that rates of depression have radically increased by perhaps a hundred-fold.”[2]
Dr. Hibbeln had additional information regarding the relationship between omega-3 intake and post-partum depression. Pregnancy places heavy demands on a mother’s omega-3 supply, for these essential fatty acids freely cross the placenta to aid the brain and visual development of the fetus. Hibbeln noted that post-partum depression is 50 times more common in nations with low fish consumption.
Childhood ADHD And Modernization Disease Syndrome
In their book Omega-3 Oils: A Practical Guide (Avery 1996) Clara Felix and Donald Rudin, MD, state that there appears to be a whole complex of symptoms and disorders in young people today that seems to be correlated with a deficiency of omega-3’s. They claim that children with ADHD frequently have O-3 deficiency, as well as more frequent ear infections, digestive problems, dry skin, allergic reactions, eczema, headaches and asthma.[3]
Improvement In Scolastic Performance!
Dr. Johanna Budwig, a Nobel nominee and a renowned authority on dietary fats and health, has stated that improved fatty acid intake in children who experience learning problems generally results in a dramatic improvement in scholastic performance.[4] Dopamine and serotonin receptors are made largely of DHA, one of the two primary fatty acids found in Omega XL®. When there is an inadequate amount of DHA available in the body, substitutes (trans-fats or “hydrogenated” oils) are found which create inferior, misshapen versions of the receptors for these important neurochemicals. Without adequate chemical receptors these neurotransmitters lose their effectiveness, causing problems with learning, memory and behavioral difficulties.[4]
ADHD Kids Have Lower Levels Of Omega-3's
Research studies do confirm that ADHD youngsters have lower levels of omega-3’s in their bloodstreams relative to normal children. Omega-3 deficiencies are also linked to vision problems, learning difficulties, and memory retention. Children with low levels of O-3’s are also more likely to develop behavioral problems, irritability and variable moods.[3]
Many people consider the widespread use of ADHD drugs like Ritalin to be a sign of irresponsibility on the part of physicians. Children should not be over-medicated with expensive prescription pharmaceuticals that may have dangerous side effects when there is ample evidence today that a safe, natural food substance, omega-3 fatty acids, may be the key to improving their health and functioning.
Adult Brain Syndromes And Omega XL®
Although the research community has for some time been investigating the theory that omega-3 fatty acids may be able to prevent or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, only recently did a group of scientists discover the possible mechanism behind this brain-protective capacity. As reported in The Journal of Neuroscience, a study done with mice bred to develop Alzheimer’s disease helped confirm the beneficial aspects of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA. Mice were fed either a diet rich in DHA or a diet that more closely resembled the typical American diet, with its attendant imbalance of fatty acid ratios (high omega-6’s relative to omega-3’s).
Slower Progession Of Alzimers!
The mice that were fed the high DHA diet had a slower progression of the development of the amyloid and tau proteins that form the basis of the brain tissues tangles and protein plaques associated with severe Alzheimer’s disease. University of California at Irvine researcher Dr. Frank LaFerla reported: “We are greatly excited by these results, which show us that simple changes in diet can positively alter the way the brain works and lead to protection from Alzheimer’s disease pathology.”[5]
Normal Functioning During Aging Process!
The Agency for Healthcare Research Quality performed an extensive review of the research in the area of cognitive functioning and omega-3 supplementation. The reviewers found that O-3’s were related to the maintenance of normal functioning during the aging process.
They determined there was a positive relationship between high omega-3 consumption and a reduced risk of non-Alzheimer’s dementias as well as Alzheimer’s disease. There was also a mild improvement in dementia patients when treated with omega-3 supplementation.[6]
Other neurological diseases were considered. One study found a reduced incidence of multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disorder of the myelin sheath, in women who had rates of high fish consumption. Two other studies found a significant reduction in the progression of the disease when omega-3 supplementation was performed on patients with MS.
One study determined that pregnant women who ate fish once a week had a lower risk of giving birth to a baby with cerebral palsy.[6]
Parkinson’s disorder is a disease in which there is a die-off of the neurons that produce dopamine. Research has suggested that diets high in omega-6 fatty acids may provide a ready environment in the brain for this disease, but that omega-3’s might actually have some protective effect against the development of this movement disorder.[7]
A Continual Supply Of What Your Brain Can Count On!
As mentioned earlier in this report, a continual stream of omega-3 fatty acids is necessary to achieve optimum neurological functioning and gain the benefits of omega-3’s disease preventing effects. If one is already suffering from a neurological disorder, the dosage and constancy of supply is probably even more critical.
When beginning supplementation with Omega XL® it might take several weeks to notice improvement, although some individuals do start to feel better right away. Many people say it only takes a few weeks before the benefits of O-3 supplementation become apparent.
It is important to note that the positive effects of omega-3’s really cannot be “stored.” Every day your body needs a fresh supply, and if the supply diminishes so do the positive results. Please be aware that once you start taking Omega XL® you may begin to feel so wonderful, you will never want to stop! And your brain will reap the rich rewards of having the crucial cellular building blocks to replenish itself and its vital neurochemicals.
Greater focus, clarity, improved moods and protection from age-related diminished functioning can be yours if you are healthy now. Amelioration of certain disease processes can be yours if you are currently facing health challenges such as depression or ADHD. Don’t wait another day to begin enjoying the benefits of this wonderful, safe and natural miracle food for your brain. Remember: Think clearly—think Omega XL®.
