According to Dr. Barry Sears, author of The Omega Rx Zone, “high-dose, pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is as close to a medical miracle as we will see in the 21st century.”

Fish oil is the key to treating a host of health problems ranging from cancer, chronic pain, dementia, depression, heart disease, inflammatory conditions affecting the joints to the gut, and many, many others.

Are you interested in having more energy, better brain function, losing weight, or reversing chronic disease?  If your answer is yes to even one of these things, fish oil can help.

Consumers must be very discriminating when purchasing fish oil. The important phrase in Dr. Sears’ quote is “pharmaceutical-grade.”  Oils bought in the drugstores and sometimes even at healthfood stores might not be pharmaceutical-grade!

This grade of oil has been distilled to remove any environmental toxins such as mercury, lead, PCB’s, and dioxins.  These toxins are very dangerous to the health.

If you are taking fish oil in high doses to treat a health problem and the oil has not been distilled properly, you will be putting these toxins into the body.

Pharmaceutical-grade fish oil is much more concentrated in eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid.  These are the fatty acids in the fish oil so vital for helping nourish the eyes, brain, nerves, immune system, and fighting inflammation. 

Take fish oils daily and you will nourish every cell of the body!
