I have been researching and writing articles about omega-3 essential fatty acids for some time now. Why? Because I have high cholesterol, and I wanted to find out if I could control it naturally by supplementing my diet with omega-3, and eating more foods high in essential fatty acids.

I was amazed at the information I found regarding omega-3 fatty acids, and their affects, not only on decreasing bad cholesterol and increasing god cholesterol, but also on fighting inflammation and improving heart health. It is no surprise that I have continued taking a daily supplement of omega-3 ever since.

Since we have a lot of fat (good and bad) in our bodies, we need to do something to make the good fat more effective. But, instead of me trying to explain the science behind good and bad fats, I'd rather have the Chief Science Officer of TriVita, Brazos Minshew, do the explaining. Below is his latest article from the TriVita Weekly Wellness Report

Good Fats, Bad Fats and OmegaPrime®

Almost every cell making up your body is surrounded by fat. Fats are very smart molecules. Good fats make your brain healthy, they make your heart healthy; they reduce inflammation and improve circulation. They improve your immune system and reduce pain.

Trans-fats are examples of "bad" fats. They have just the opposite effect of good fats: they make your brain, heart and immune system unhealthy. They increase pain and they are a toxic cause of inflammation.

Good fats are essential for life and good health.

The story of good fats
Our immune system relies on Vitamin D and fats. When we are exposed to infections, a "picture" of the invading microbe is encoded in immune cells and recorded in fat for long-term memory. This is the reason why we have lifelong resistance or immunity to certain infections once we have the illness (like chicken pox).

There is a family of conditions where the immune system works too hard. These disorders are called autoimmune conditions because a person's own immune system loses the ability to distinguish "self" from "non-self." In autoimmune conditions your own immune system attacks healthy tissue as if it were diseased! Every gland, organ and joint becomes a target of your immune system.

Essential fatty acids make your immune system work smarter, not harder. They code immune system proteins to precisely identify every cell and to determine an appropriate response.

OmegaPrime
TriVita OmegaPrime contains essential fatty acids (EFA) from four sources:

Omega-3: Fish oil
A key ingredient in OmegaPrime is fish oil. Omega-3 from fish oil is healthy for your body and it shows a special affinity for your heart and brain. Fish oil contains fully metabolized Omega-3 and is thus absorbed very quickly.

Omega-3: Flaxseed oil
Flaxseed oil is a vegetarian source of Omega-3. It is not fully broken down as fish oil is. Instead, it must be slowly metabolized over several hours. Think of fish oil as "fast-acting" and flaxseed oil as "sustained release."

Omega-3 & Omega-6: Perilla Seed oil
Humans cannot synthesize essential fatty acids: Omega-3 ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and Omega-6 LA (linoleic acid). We must get them from our diet and that is why they are called "essential." Perilla seeds contain a balance of Omega-3 ALA and Omega-6 LA.

There are nearly 500 articles in the Institutes of Health database on perilla. Scientists from all over the world are studying the oil of this amazing anti-inflammatory seed. Over 80 of these papers detail its use with the specific genes associated with various cancers. Over 50 articles discuss the anti-inflammatory benefits of perilla seed oil concerning allergy, asthma and other immune and cardiovascular disorders.

Omega-6: Evening Primrose oil
Evening Primrose oil (EPO) is a primary source of LA (linoleic acid) in OmegaPrime. LA goes through a long process of metabolism that results in intense anti-inflammatory activity. For example, LA helps reduce the inflammation associated with dermatitis. EPO promotes breast health and helps reduce breast pain. It also promotes cardiovascular health. Evening Primrose oil is an excellent source of LA, and OmegaPrime is an excellent source of EPO.

Conclusion
Essential Fatty acids are ESSENTIAL to Wellness! We cannot make them; we must get them from our diet. The healthier our fat intake is, the healthier our body will become. People in North America are woefully deficient in healthy Omega EFAs. Eat healthy fats and reject unhealthy fats like trans-fats for a healthy heart, brain and immune system.

Since EFAs are necessary to keep our bodies healthy, we need to incorporate them into our diets. However, eating fish may be your best bet. The purest choice fish includes canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sablefish, and small, troll-caught tuna.

If you're not a fish eater, TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 fatty acid to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

TriVita's OmegaPrime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Nutritionists have known for a long time that seafood is a low-fat source of high-quality protein. Eating seafood is one of the best choices for children, adults, and the aging population, and the health benefits are simply amazing. In fact, many studies have shown that eating seafood can decrease your risk of heart attack, stroke, obesity, hypertension, and even decrease, or in some cases, total reduce inflammation.

Inflammation is a process in which the body's white blood cells and chemicals help protect us from infection and foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses.

"When inflammation occurs, chemicals from the body are released into the blood or affected tissues. This release of chemicals increases the blood flow to the area of injury or infection and may result in redness and warmth. Some of the chemicals cause a leak of fluid into the tissues, resulting in swelling. This process may stimulate nerves and cause pain." [2]

The immune system, a complex array of organs, tissues and specialized cells, protects us from outside invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, allergens and from harmful insiders, such as infected cells and toxins. However, the immune system is not segregated (immune) from disease that attacks the human body.

"Several chronic diseases involve the immune system. The most common are rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, psoriasis (an inflammatory skin condition), and some allergies. In these conditions the immune system overacts and the inflammation that results contributes to the disease symptoms - painful joints, itchy skin, swelling, redness, wheezing, etc. These overactive immune responses can be toned down by the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish. For this reason, the oils in fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring, rainbow trout, and sardines, can be helpful in reducing the severity of the symptoms of these conditions. Omega-3s cannot prevent or cure these conditions, but they may make a noticeable improvement in the discomfort associated with them."[1]

A diet that consists of fish high in omega-3 fatty acids can provide an added benefit one needs to ward off disease and illness. However, many people may not like fish. If that's the case, there are omega-3 supplements, like TriVita's Omega Prime.

Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Start taking control of your health by adding omega-3 to your diet. Take advantage of what the nutritionists have known for a very long time - fish, high in omega-3 fatty acids, is needed to maintain a health body.

Omega Prime and Your Memory

2010-06-21T05:29:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I was visiting with my mother-in-law. After asking me the same question a second time, she said, "my memory is not the same as it used to be." That, coming from an 88 year-old woman, may be all too common for the elderly. However, when it comes to middle-aged individuals, that should not be the norm. So, is there a way to improve our memory, or at least keep it from failing us as we age?

After reading the article below, "Ways to Improve Your Memory" by TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, I believe there are certain things we CAN do to improve our memory and keep it sharp as we continue to age, just as Mr. Minshew mentions in his article. I've posted the complete article below.

Ways to Improve Your Memory by Brazos Minshew

OK, I will admit it if you will: I have forgotten the names of people while I was talking to them! I have lost my car keys, misplaced my glasses and turned the wrong way on my drive home.

How about you? Does it seem like your memory is playing tricks on you as you age? Well, there are reasons for that and very few of these reasons are related to diseases such as dementia and Alzheimer's.

How to make a memory
Your memory is an amazing miracle. Every second your brain processes billions of bits of information from your five senses. You may consciously perceive only a very small percentage of this information because one function of your brain is to filter out unimportant information. The things you remember will usually be advantageous to you. For instance, remembering your wedding anniversary date or remembering where the speed trap is on your drive home.

Memory is classed into two basic groups:

Short-term: Short term memories are quickly forgotten when they are no longer important.
Long-term: Long-term memories may be divided into recent and distant.

Practicing or rehearsing can improve your memory by moving more information into long-term. For instance, when I am distracted by stress I will not be able to remember where I left my car keys. That information was deleted from my short-term memory. However, if I consciously say, "I am hanging my car keys on the hook," I am far more likely to remember where they are.

How to keep a memory

Reduce stress
Stress kills your memory. The stress system is designed to ensure survival. It helps us fight off a snarling dog or flee from a snarling bear. As important as that is, humans do more every day than merely survive. If you want to have a good, healthy memory, do all you can to reduce the need for fight or flight stress responses.

Learn something new
As mentioned, practicing or rehearsing something enhances memory. So does learning something new. You see, memory is facilitated through the billions of neurons and synapses in your brain by patterns: retracing old patterns as well as creating new patterns. The more new things we master and the more connections we create, the better our overall memory will be.

If you want to remember your anniversary, start learning a foreign language. If you want to remember important names, learn a musical instrument. The more you learn – and the more you connect the old with the new – the better your overall memory will be.

How to nourish a memory
Certain nutrients help the memory to remain sharp. These nutrients fall into two basic categories: those that create brain structure and those that nourish brain function.

Your brain is made mostly of fat. And the majority of that fat is an Omega-3 called DHA. So, to have a healthy brain we need healthy fats like OmegaPrime®. Your nerve cells convert some fats into functional nerve proteins called myelin. Formation of myelin requires dietary protein and Vitamin B-12. So, for healthy brain structure and function we need Omega-3 fats, healthy dietary protein and Vitamin B-12.

When the memory is activated, it creates heat in the brain. To fuel the memory, quench the heat and repair the daily wear-and-tear on your brain, you need antioxidants. Certain antioxidants target brain function specifically. An excellent antioxidant formula that is also anti-inflammatory is Nopalea™. The Betalain bioflavonoids in Nopalea also help improve circulation by fortifying healthy arteries.

What do you remember?
To recap: Occasional memory lapses usually indicate you are distracted by stress. Rehearsing things you want to remember and practicing new things you have learned can help you avoid stress-induced memory lapses. Because new behaviors create new pathways in your brain, learning something new such as a new language or musical instrument can improve your overall memory.

Stress kills your memory. Nutrients such as Omega-3, Vitamin B-12 and anti-inflammatory antioxidants such as those found in Nopalea can help rebuild and restore your ability to remember. With all of these tools at your disposal, you have access to the power of a healthy memory. ** End of Article **

From the Franklin Institute on the effects of stress and memory loss: "Chronic over-secretion of stress hormones adversely affects brain function, especially memory. Too much cortisol can prevent the brain from laying down a new memory, or from accessing already existing memories."[1]

We need to keep our brains active, and reduce or eliminate stress. If not, we'll wind up having increased memory loss and probably make the same statement as my mother-in-law. We only go through this life once, and it's important to take care of our bodies by eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and taking on some activity that will keep your mind sharp. You may even want to think about supplementing your diet with one of the nutritional products from TriVita.

Omega 3 and Omega Prime

2010-06-04T05:34:00.000-07:00

I've been researching Omega-3 essential fatty acids for a few years now. It amazes me as to all the attention this all natural nutrient continues to receive. And, may I add that everything I've read, including the article posted below, is nothing short of good news.

From one of my previous article, I've reported that "most of us have heard about how fats are bad for us; however, this isn't always the case. Some fats are very good for our ongoing well being. Two of these fats are Omega-3 and Omega-6. Not only are they good for us, they're actually indispensible, which is why they are also called Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs)."

I've also mentioned that omega-3 fatty acids "are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body." And, I've cocluded that if you're not a fish eater, the best source of EFAs, then you may need to be taking a daily omega-3 supplement, such as the one developed by TriVita, called Omega Prime.

I've also written about inflammation. Omega-3 is "one of the best nutrients to reduce runaway inflammation. This may be new to you, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more."

Now in a recent study, omega-3 has been proven to reduce pain, caused by inflammation, in laboratory mice. In the article I've posted below, omega-3 is also safer than any NSAID on the market. If you're still skeptical, please read the entire article entitled, Pain May be Relieved by Omega-3 Byproducts, which was written by Craig Weatherby.

Pain May be Relieved by Omega-3 Byproducts - Study in mice suggests that omega-3s from fish could ease pain ... and form the basis of a safer new class of potent analgesic drugs
by Craig Weatherby

Non-prescription analgesic drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen make life more bearable for millions of people suffering from all sorts of pain.

But these so-called "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs" – NSAIDs for short – come with serious side effects that kill or injure thousands of Americans every year.

Estimates of the annual deaths in the United States attributable to NSAIDs vary from 3,200 to higher than 16,500 (Cryer B 2005; Lanas A et al. 2005).

And among elderly Americans alone, there are an estimated 41,000 hospitalizations related to NSAIDs each year (Griffin MR 1998).

Current NSAIDs alleviate pain and inflammation by blocking the action of one or both of two cyclooxygenase (COX) type enzymes ... either the COX-1 enzyme and/or the COX-2 enzyme, depending on the drug.

The COX-1 enzyme promotes inflammation, but drugs – such as aspirin, ibuprofen (e.g., Advil), and naproxen (e.g., Aleve) that block it can produce gastric bleeding, duodenal ulcers, kidney problems, and cardiovascular complications.

Scientists developed COX-2 drugs such as Celebrex and Vioxx to get around the adverse gastric effects of COX-1 drugs ... but it turned out that they, too, can cause gastric injury.

And sharp increases in cardiovascular complications led to withdrawal of Vioxx from the market in 2004.

Clearly, it behooves the medical community to find alternative analgesics that do not work in the same way.

We've reported on the recent discovery that when we metabolize omega-3s from fish – especially DHA – they yield critical anti-inflammatory compounds called resolvins.

Now, the analgesic potential of omega-3-derived resolvins has gained significant support in a mouse study from the Pain Research Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital ... a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Mouse study yields encouraging findings on an omega-3 fat's analgesic potential

A research team at Brigham and Women's Hospital reports that resolvins that the body produces from the two key omega-3s in fish fat and human cells – DHA and EPA – may serve as a new class of painkillers for treating inflammatory pain (Xu ZZ et al. 2010).

The Boston-based group believes that resolvins reduce pain both by damping inflammation and by acting in the spinal cord to prevent and reverse chronic pain.

Inflammatory pain, such as arthritic and post-operative pain, is triggered by tissue injury, leading to the release of compounds that increase inflammation and also act within the spinal cord to promote persistent pain.

The researchers found that two resolvins – RvE1 (derived from EPA) and RvD1 (derived from DHA) – reduced inflammatory pain symptoms in mice.

The results showed that RvE1 was 10,000 times more potent at alleviating pain than omega-3 EPA itself, which suggests that resolvins should be targets for drug development.

Confirming the mechanism by which omega-3s can relieve pain indirectly, an artificial compound called Chemerin – which binds to the same cell receptor as RvE1 and RvD1 – also significantly reduced pain symptoms.

Aside from its proven anti-inflammatory effects, they also found that RvE1 acts in the spinal cord to prevent the persistent activation of nerve cells that underlies chronic pain.

Importantly – and unlike powerful analgesic opiate-class drugs like codeine or oxycontin – the analgesic effects of the omega-3-derived resolvins did not alter the animals' normal sensitivity to pain.

We hope that findings like these will lead to a new class of analgesic drugs that are much safer but just as effective as NSAIDs.

The study was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health.

Omega 3 and Omega Prime

2010-05-19T05:00:00.000-07:00

I've been writing about omega-3 fatty acids for some time now, and I still feel that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids has so many good health benefits. I've mentioned several times that "omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development."

Today I found an article that confirms what I've been saying all along. The article below strictly focuses on omega-3 fatty acids, and how they "Changes in the Western diet over the past 150 years are causing many Americans to develop nutrient deficiencies. This is especially true of essential nutrients and fats found in fish and wild plants. More folks are eating high amounts of animal products and pesticide-laden fruits and veggies. And it's no secret that there are far too many processed foods lining grocery store shelves.

A nutrient-lacking diet can cause or worsen major depression and may contribute to:

Mood swings

Insomnia

Fatigue

Weight loss

Headaches or other chronic pains

One way to lift your mood and possibly help prevent depression is with omega-3 fatty acids. These fats are essential for your diet—and should be supplemented since your body doesn't produce them on its own. Omega-3s are the best source to help prevent blood clotting, lower blood pressure and relieve inflammation. These healthy fats are found in fish, flaxseed, winter squash, olive oil, navy beans and various nuts such as walnuts, Brazil nuts, hickory nuts and macadamia nuts.

Krill oil contains a healthy balance of omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids—which helps fight infection. These two fatty acids need each other and work together to prevent other inflammation-related ailments like heart disease, arthritis and diabetes. Krill has also been shown to improve your blood pressure levels, relieve your premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms, reduce your cholesterol levels and decrease your risk for heart disease.

Be sure to balance your meats and veggies with healthy amounts of omega-3 fats. You can say 'goodbye' to the blues—and improve your overall health, too."[1]

It's quite possible that the changes in our diet over the years have cuased us to become "nutrient deficient", especially when it comes to some essential nutrients like those found in fish and wild plants. All of this leads to health problems that many of us could avoid.

Changes in your diet, which should include omega-3 fatty acids, will get you on a healthier track, and provide you with many health benefits. If you don't like fish, taking omega-3 supplements can provide the needed essential fatty acids. Since it's so important to your health, I recommend TriVita's Omega Prime.

Omega 3 and Inflammation

2010-05-04T05:33:00.000-07:00

I've been writing about omega-3 fatty acids for some time now. Research continues to show how important these fatty acids really are to the human body. The latest study at the University of Pittsburgh confirms what previous studies have found.

"Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine went on a molecular fishing trip and netted a catch of new mediators that not only can explain how omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation, but also hint at novel treatments for a host of diseases linked to inflammatory processes." [1]

Before I continue with this study, let's take a look at what omega-3 fatty acids are, and the health benefits behind them. To do so I've included a quote below from the University of Maryland Medical Center's web site:

"Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids: They are necessary for human health but the body can't make them -- you have to get them through food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other seafood including algae and krill, some plants, and nut oils. Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development. They have also become popular because they may reduce the risk of heart disease. The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon) at least 2 times a week." [2]

All of the research I've found concurs that "omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and may help lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. Omega-3 fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function." [2]

This information is not from a single study, rather from numerous studies over several years in which universities have been doing research. Runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more. That's probably why so much research is being done not only on inflammation but also on nutrients, like omega-3 fatty acids, that fight inflammation.

If you're looking to incorporate more omega-3-fatty acids into your diet, fish is your best bet. The purest choice fish include canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sable fish, and small, troll-caught tuna. However, if you're not a fish eater, TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that's high in omega-3 fatty acids.

TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Just a research on omega-3 fatty acids will continue, I will continue to write about what researchers find regarding this highly important nutrient.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

2010-03-23T06:06:00.001-07:00

Does taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements actually help? Well, just read the article below about a the results of a new study conducted by Professor Mark Hall of the University of Leeds in the UK.

Read the article by clicking on this link: New omega-3 preparation protects against bowel polyps.

According to the study, there's new hope for patients diagnosed with a "rare inherited condition called FAP (familial adenomatous polyposis), thought to be responsible for about one in every 100 bowel cancers."[1] There were several notable from the case study; 1. Omega-3 EPA found as effective as drugs prescribed to prevent pre-cancerous bowel polyps; 2. It's plausible to presume that omega-3s could help prevent all bowel polyps; 3. Researchers observed a significant reduction in the number and size of polyps in a group of patients that were given 2 grams daily of a new highly purified formulation of the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid EPA.

Omega-3 fatty acids have also been known to help fight heart disease. Since omega-3s are safe and good for cardiovascular health, the UK team noted that EPA could be especially suitable for older patients at risk of both bowel cancer and heart disease. It's been noted that "around 85 per cent of people diagnosed with bowel cancer are over the age of 60."[1]

Extensive research has been done on omega-3 fatty acids, which indicates that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent risk factors associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. These essential fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function.

So to answer the original question; Does taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements actually help? I guess you have to be the judge. However, form my research, I have yet to find an article or case study that says, omega-3 fatty acids do nothing. That's why I promote a product like TriVita's Omega Prime.

Omega Prime's essential fatty acids (EFAs) support our wellness in so many ways, starting with helping to reduce runaway inflammation. Many of us don't realize this, but it's that runaway inflammation that can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.

If you're not doing something to prevent inflammation and/or heart disease, maybe it's time to start. We are all getting older, and it's the aging process that increases our chances of getting cancer or heart disease.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Australian scientists believe they have figured out why diets that are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids have an Alzheimer's-proofing effect on the brain.

In a recent study at Melbourne's Deakin University, researchers "have found its (Omega-3 fatty acids) protective powers stem from an ability to regulate the brain's natural level of zinc, which can prove toxic at elevated levels."[1]

Typically, Omega-3 fatty acids can be obtained from eating fish like salmon, cod liver, herring, and mackerel, or by taking a supplement. However, it's the later where many people turn when it comes to omega-3. Why? Because many people believe that the consumption of certain fish can be toxic, especially when consumed in large amounts.

Even though the researchers from Deakin University did not suggest how you should introduce omega-3 fatty acids into your diet, they did say, "we believe that having omega-3 fatty acids in the diet helps keep the levels of zinc in the brain in balance and helps prevents the increase in levels that triggers cell death."[1]

I guess the "how" is left up to the individual. Personally, I take TriVita's Omega Prime, because it's created from the highest grade of fish oil, and uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process. So, if you're afraid about fish contamination, do not fear. You can be assured that Omega Prime is free of all contamination.

Facts about Alzheimer's disease
As many as 5.3 million Americans are living with Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's gets worse over time, and it is fatal. Today it is the seventh-leading cause of death in the United States. Alzheimer's disease also accounts for 50 to 70 percent of all dementia cases. (Facts courtesy of the Alzheimer's web site).[2]

If it's true what the researchers found during their study, that "a reduced incidence of neurodegenerative diseases in populations with a diet rich omega-3 fatty acids", then introducing omega-3 fatty acids into your diet is a must.

I've written many articles telling about the importance of omega-3 fatty acids, and having it as part of your diet. And now it's even becoming more prevalent, as to the reason why. The results of more and more studies are surfacing, and diets, typical of modern America - ones high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3s - are linked to higher risks of cancer, diabetes, immunity disorders, and now dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

Help protect your body from these horrible diseases, by adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. To learn more about the information listed in this article, copy and paste the links below into your web browser, or go to the TriVita Products site.

Omega Prime

2010-01-31T14:37:00.000-08:00

The American Heart Association recommends Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of - or who have - cardiovascular disease.

The AHA recommends eating fish. "Fish is a good source of protein and doesn't have the high saturated fat that fatty meat products do. Fatty fish like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna and salmon are high in two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)." [1]

Since the AHA recommends incorporating omega-3 fatty acids into your daily diet, it's no wonder the Chief Science Officer of TriVita does the same. In his weekly wellness report, Brazos Minshew explains why it's important, and how you can get your daily dose of omega-3 fatty acids by taking TriVita's Omega prime. I've included the entire article below.

Omega Prime by Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer for TriVita

When I am asked, "What products do you take?" I always begin with OmegaPrime. In North America, the nutrients we are most likely to be deficient in are Vitamin B-12, Vitamin C, Magnesium, Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) and Vitamin D. We have formulated our Healthy Aging Pack to provide foundational nutrients for wellness and to fill these basic needs.

But what is so special about OmegaPrime? The answer to this question resides in the ingredients. Let's take a look at the different kinds of Omega EFA in our product and what they do for you.

Fish oil
A key ingredient in OmegaPrime is fish oil. There are many fish oil supplements and most of them are good for you. (Always be sure your fish oil is from a trusted source - PCB-free and mercury-free.) Almost every cell in your body is made of an envelope of fat. These cell fats come directly from your diet. So, cellular fats are dietary fats. Cells are healthiest when the majority of the fat is Omega-3. Fish oil contains Omega-3 fatty acids.

Your brain is two-thirds fat; the majority of the fat in your brain is Omega-3. A chief Omega-3 is DHA. DHA is the most abundant fat in the human brain. Three-fourths of the fat in a healthy brain is DHA. This gives us some real insight on the benefits of OmegaPrime: to supply DHA for brain development and function. In fact, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) archives over 20,000 articles on Omega-3 EFA with 2,300 articles related to brain function, 522 articles related to depression, 141 articles related to memory loss and 56 articles related to chronic behavioral disorders.

Omega-3 from fish oil is healthy for your body and it shows a special affinity for your brain. Fish oil contains fully metabolized Omega-3. It is absorbed very quickly.

Flax oil
Flaxseed oil is a vegetarian source of Omega-3. But unlike fish oil, it must be slowly metabolized over several hours. Think of fish oil as "fast-acting" and flaxseed oil as "sustained release."

While all Omega-3 oils are good for cardiovascular health, flaxseed oil has particular benefits when it comes to heart health. According to articles archived by the NIH, flaxseeds reduce cholesterol and LDL ("bad" cholesterol) significantly when taken daily.

Flaxseeds also contain lignans, a special plant hormone that reduces inflammation. Lignans improve health outcomes when combined with certain treatments for breast cancer.

There are over 1,400 references to the health benefits of flax in the NIH library. Nearly 400 of these are references to cardiovascular health, as flaxseed oil harmonizes fats in the blood like cholesterol and triglycerides. More than 130 articles reference the ability of flaxseeds to support hormone health in men and women and 30 of these articles demonstrate how flax improves breast health.

Perilla seed oil
Humans cannot synthesize two essential fatty acids: Omega-3 ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and Omega-6 LA (linoleic acid). We must get them from our diet and that is why they are called "essential." Perilla seeds contain a balance of Omega-3 ALA and Omega-6 LA.

There are nearly 500 articles in the NIH database on perilla. Scientists from all over the world are studying this amazing anti-inflammatory seed. Over 100 articles refer to the work being done with perilla seeds and cancer; over 80 of these papers detail its use with the specific genes associated with various cancers. Over 50 articles discuss the anti-inflammatory benefits of perilla seed oil concerning allergy, breathing problems, and other immune and cardiovascular concerns.

Evening Primrose oil
Evening Primrose oil (EPO) is a primary source of LA in OmegaPrime. LA goes through a long process of metabolism that results in intense anti-inflammatory activity. For example, many inflammatory conditions are associated with Prostaglandin E-2 (PGE2), an inflammatory hormone. EPO blocks the creation of PGE2 and diverts the energy into anti-inflammatory PGE1 and PGE3.

A common problem of inflammation is chronic inflammation of the outer skin. In this condition, the fat cells in the skin break down and the immune system over-responds by attacking both sick and healthy skin cells. Omega EFA helps us develop normal, healthy skin. Further, LA reduces the inflammation associated with this condition by reducing PGE2. Evening Primrose oil is an excellent source of LA and OmegaPrime is an excellent source of EPO.

There are over 500 articles in the NIH database on Evening Primrose oil. Common inflammatory conditions are discussed over 60 times. Breast health ? including breast pain ? is likewise discussed over 60 times, and cardiovascular health is discussed more than 45 times.

Conclusion
Essential fatty acids are ESSENTIAL to wellness! We cannot make them; we must get them from our diet. The healthier our fat intake is, the healthier our body will become. People in North America are woefully deficient in Omega EFA. Eat healthy fats and supplement your diet with OmegaPrime (like I do!) every day. ***END of ARTICLE***

If you're not into eating fish, as the AHA recommends or other foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids, TriVita's Omega Prime may be a supplement you can take to get your daily requirement of Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega Prime is free of mercury/contaminant free fish oil, which is the result of an exclusive 10 stage process to ensure its purity, potency and quality (plus a higher level of Vitamin E for maximizing the fish oil's potency).

There is additional information available on the Omega Prime web site.

Is Your Skin Telling You Something?

2010-01-13T19:09:00.000-08:00

As a society we are very much dependant on our outward appearance. Why we spend billions, maybe even trillions on everything from the clothes we wear, to way we smell, and everything in between. But let me ask you a question, have you REALLY looked at the skin you're in? It may in fact be telling you something.

Every morning we wake up and look in the mirror, often because we see ourselves 24/7, we may not really be paying close enough attention to the details. It's these details that can shed light to possible health issues lurking inside. For example:

Let's start with dry skin, perhaps it's the obvious, and you just need more fluids, especially water. In the winter months especially, when so many of us are indoors for the majority of the time, often our skin is dry and irritated. It just may be that you need more essential fatty acids in order to relieve your dry skin.

How about liver spots. It isn't unusual to see older folks with brown spots on their hands. Typically these spots are a direct result of sun damage, but sometimes it could be far worse. Liver spots are from a chemical pigment called lipofuscin. When this pigment builds up in your muscles, nerves, skin and brain, it isn't good. In some cases causing loss of fine motor skills in the hands and body. Extreme overload of lipofuscin in the brain could result in nervous system oxidation and possibly Parkinson Disease. If you have liver spots, keep a watchful eye on them, reporting any major changes to your doctor. and again you may find some relief by taking essential fatty acids, along with antioxidants, together nourishing and protecting your precious brain tissues.

Vitiligo is a skin disorder that causes a loss of pigment in areas of the skin. The pigment loss may result in white blotches on the hands and face. Sometimes vitiligo can be a side effect of too much antibiotic use, chemotherapy or steroids. Sadly, it can just happen with no reason at all. One way you can fight back against vitiligo is with UV light therapy. B-12 vitamins are also quite helpful if you take it correctly for maximum benefits such as sublingually, under the tongue. B-12 vitamins can actually help starve the fungus that may trigger vitiligo. You can also implement the amino acid L-Phenylalanine as it holds much promise in the fight.

So take heed to your body, watch for the signs that your skin may be telling you! Nourish your skin in a bath of essential fatty acids, and reduce inflammation, by taking TriVita's OmegaPrime.

Omega 3 and Omega Prime

2010-01-07T05:33:00.000-08:00

Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFA's) are polyunsaturated fats, the so-called "good fats". These important fats cannot be made by the human body, they must be obtained from foods or supplemental sources. In addition, these fats are required for normal development of the brain, eyes and nerve tissue in humans. Clinical studies show that Omega 3 benefits come primarily from DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).

"Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega-3 fatty acid. It is found in cold water fatty fish and fish oil supplements. DHA is essential for the proper functioning of our brains as adults, and for the development of our nervous system and visual abilities during the first 6 months of life. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids are part of a healthy diet that helps lower risk of heart disease." [1]

"Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is one of several omega-3 fatty acids used by the body. It is found in cold water fatty fish and in fish oil supplements. Increased intake of EPA has beneficial effects on coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis." [2]

According to the articles I have read and research I have done, the majority of people in the Western world, do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids in their diet. Why? In my opinion, our typical daily meals do not contain omega-3 fatty acids. You have to go away form the norm, and think outside the box. It takes a little more thought, and I know it's hard with all of the struggles we are faced with on a daily basis. It's easier to just call and order a pizza, or swing into your favorite fast food restaurant!

If you're like the majority of individuals and your health does not come to mind when you've had a long hard day, do what I do, and take Omega Prime, by TriVita. Omega Prime is a supplement that can get you your daily requirements of omega-3 fatty acids. If you don't like fish, Omega Prime can be a great addition to your diet.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

2009-12-03T06:07:00.000-08:00

Just about everyone of us has heard about the healthful benefits of adding fish oil to your diet. Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which has been linked to positive effects in the human body. These benefits include lower blood pressure, lower triglycerides and overall cholesterol levels, and even the possibility of reducing the effects of certain types of cancers. The cancers in question include colon, breast, and prostate cancer.

Omega 3 fatty acids have been included in a multitude of medical studies as being very helpful in lowering the risk of heart disease. However, it only includes those individuals that have taken significant amounts of omega-3 over a long period of time. So, what quantity of omega-3 fatty acids are needed to provide an individual with exceptional results?

Perhaps there is no exact answer, however, we need to take a look at some variables before deciding on how much you need to ingest into your diet for them to become effective.

First of all, there's the age factor. According to experts, "younger people need a higher dose of fish oil than older people." Why? More than likely, it's due to the fact that younger people have higher metabolisms and are more active. The fact that they are more active, leads to their bodies burning higher amounts of calories and fats. On the other hand, older people are typically less active, in turn, they don't need quite as much fish oil to achieve the same benefits.

The second factor that plays a role in deciding on how much omega-3 fatty acids you need is the source, or quality, in which you are taking. Fish oil from its true source, like mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon, may not be as effective as, say, a supplement. And if your source of the natural fish is not reliable, it may even cause more harm than good, especially if it's contaminated with mercury. The source and quality of omega-3 fatty acids is very important.

Fish oil is readily available in capsule and liquid form, but then again, not all are created equal. It's been scientifically proven that the quality and concentration of fish oil over the counter can vary greatly. When choosing a quality fish oil supplement, one should make sure that it's at least health food store grade, and preferably pharmaceutical grade. The higher the quality, the less you should have to ingest to experience the real health benefits.

Your medical condition is the final factor to consider when deciding what dosage of fish oil you need. For example, if you have high cholesterol, are a high risk of heart disease or have high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe a higher than normal dose for you. Remember, it's up to your doctor to decide. As with any supplement, you should consult your physician, or medical professional first. It's not advised to self prescribe more than is recommended on the label of any over-the-counter supplement.

So, what's the general rule of thumb? The American Heart Association recommends consuming 1–3 grams per day of EPA and DHA. For certain medical conditions, however, higher doses of omega-3 products, up to 4 grams per day, can be used safely, and with good effect. Included the right amount of omega 3 fatty acids can be one of the smartest and most healthy things you ever do for yourself and your body.

TriVita's Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for omega-3 fatty acids. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Omega Prime and High Cholesterol

2009-11-30T05:08:00.000-08:00

If you're fighting high cholesterol, look no further than TriVita's Omega Prime. Omega Prime is a high source of omega-23 fatty acids, considered essential fatty acids. They are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food and/or dietary supplements.

According to TriVita's Chief Science Officer, Brazos Minshew, the guidelines for healthy cholesterol have changed. New targets have been established that tell us that perhaps our efforts to manage cholesterol and other blood lipids have been inadequate. This is especially true when we consider the target for LDL (low density lipoprotein), the so-called "bad" cholesterol.

Why should we be concerned with our LDL level? How did we get into such a deplorable state when it comes to managing our cholesterol? How can we use this information to improve our health?

What is LDL?

Low density lipoproteins (LDL) are often considered to be a "bad" form of cholesterol. But this is an extreme mischaracterization of a very beneficial fat in our blood. You see, your body makes important things out of LDL: brain cells and nerves are shielded with LDL cholesterol-based fats. And hormones in your bloodstream and inside your cells are made from LDL cholesterol. So, LDL is not really "bad," just misunderstood!

The dark side of cholesterol metabolism occurs when a person over-produces LDL and when LDL particles become sticky, oxidized and inflamed. This is one cause of atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), which leads to heart attack and stroke, peripheral artery disease (PAD) and other diseases of your blood vessels.

Why cholesterol is "high"

We also make hormones from good cholesterol. Most doctors recommend over 1,200 milligrams of omega-3 fats for building healthy hormones and reducing "bad" cholesterol. Omega Prime® contains beneficial omega-3 fats. You may find that you need more Omega Prime every day to build cholesterol into trophic hormones.

Estrogen, progesterone, DHEA and testosterone are examples of trophic hormones. They are made of the same substance: cholesterol. If your body is unable to convert cholesterol into these hormones you may see your blood levels of cholesterol rise. You can bring your cholesterol down and your low hormones up by supporting cholesterol-to-hormone conversion. TriVita can help support healthy hormone metabolism with supplements such as Omega Prime, Vitamin E, Balanced Woman™ and Prostate Health Formula.

The most critical balance of hormones occurs between insulin and glucagon. When we sleep too little, when we are stressed too much and when we eat too much sugar - especially high fructose corn syrup - our insulin levels stay too high for too long and cause insulin resistance. High levels of insulin cause the liver to release high levels of cholesterol and LDL. Oxidized LDL inflames, gets sticky and clogs arteries.

Glucagon is a liver hormone that balances blood sugar and lowers cholesterol and LDL. TriVita supports glucagon metabolism with adaptogens for stress and Leanology™ capsules to sustain healthy blood sugar. They also assist with LDL "stickiness" by using robust levels of Vitamin C. TriVita helps your body reduce inflammation with Betalains found in Nopalea™.

Benefits of Omega 3 EFAs

2009-11-11T05:53:00.000-08:00

What benefits do fish oil offer our bodies? What is fish oil all about and what makes it good for us? You may have heard it on the news, or read it in a magazine, but how good is fish oil for you? These are a few question I'll try to answer in this short little article.

All around the world, fish oil has received attention regarding it's benefits to achieving a healthier lifestyle. Health expert and scientists have done many studies on omega-3 fatty acids (the key nutrient in fish oil). So what's in fish oil that makes it so beneficial to our bodies?

EPA is an omega 3 fatty acid. EPA, otherwise known as eicosapentaenoic acid, is mostly found in fish oil. According to the University of Maryland Health Center, "increased intake of EPA has beneficial effects on coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Most people in the Western world do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids in their diet." [1]

Omega-3 fatty acids can be obtained from eating fish like salmon, cod liver, herring, and mackerel, or by taking a supplement. The reason many people turn to omega-3 supplements is because consumption of certain fish can be toxic, especially when consumed in large amounts.

One supplement that I recommend is TriVita's Omega Prime. Omega Prime is created from the highest grade of fish oil, and uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process. So, if what you've heard about fish contamination, do not fear. You can be assured that Omega Prime is free of all contamination.

TriVita's Omega Prime contains a "premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed."

The importance of omega-3 fatty acids, as part of your diet are becoming more prevalent. More and more studies are beginning to surface, and diets, typical of modern America - ones high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3s - are linked to higher risks of cancer, diabetes, and immunity disorders.

But now you can help protect your body from these horrible diseases, by adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. You do not have to be a fish eater, or even enjoy fish to reap the benefits provided by omega-3. But, you should do something to introduce these very important EPAs into your diet.

I hope you've learned something about EPA, EFA, and omega-3. If you would like additional information on Omega Prime and any of the TriVita nutritional products, you can go to TriVita Products. TriVita ensures that you get the safest, freshest, and most effective products available on the market today. Each product is made under the strictest quality controls in the nutritional supplement industry.

Omega Prime

2009-10-29T05:07:00.000-07:00

Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFA) help lower cholesterol and also help to protect the heart. Many studies have been conducted over the years regarding cholesterol and its relationship to coronary heart disease (CHD).

Some such studies include, The Framingham Heart Study, the Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study (4S) in 1994, West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS) in 195, the CARE study in 1996, the Air Force/Texas Coronary Atherosclerosis Prevention Study (AFCAPS/TexCAPS) in 1998, the LIPID study in 1998, and the Heart Protection Study, which was published in 2002.

CHD and cholesterol studies continue on a daily basis. However, scientists have now found that "elevated cholesterol levels during midlife substantially increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or vascular dementia."

An international team of researchers from Kaiser Permanente's Division of Research and the University of Kuopio in Finland analyzed 10,000 individuals over a period of 40 years. Their work suggests those with high cholesterol-defined as 240 milligrams or more per deciliter of blood-were at a 66 percent higher risk for developing Alzheimer's.

They also found that even those with slightly elevated cholesterol increased their risk by 52 percent.

"This is an early risk factor for dementia that can be modified and managed by lowering cholesterol through healthy lifestyle changes," says the study's senior author, Dr. Rachel Whitmer, adding that almost 100 million Americans have either high or borderline cholesterol levels. [1]

Health practitioners have recommended nutritional supplements containing fish oil, niacin and red yeast rice to help boost cardiovascular health.

There are a number of nutritional supplements that help lower cholesterol levels. With regular exercise, a proper diet, and nutritional supplements, you can help protect your heart and now, decrease our chances of developing Alzheimer's disease. TriVita's Omega Prime is one of those nutritional supplements. Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 fatty acids to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance, an important part to the development and protection of the heart.

TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils - Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Omega Prime and Bone Health

2009-10-13T05:23:00.000-07:00

I always thought bone density tests were typically done on aging women, and I always thought calcium and vitamin d were the most important minerals needed to maintain healthy bones. In April of this year (2009), all that may have changed, as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may have taken their place in the battle of bone health.

"In adults, it is said vitamin D deficiency may precipitate or exacerbate osteopenia, osteoporosis, muscle weakness, fractures, common cancers, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases and cardiovascular diseases. There is also some evidence that the vitamin may reduce the incidence of several types of cancer and type-1 diabetes." [1] Move over vitamin d, there's a new player in town!

Researchers from the University of California's School of Medicine in San Diego reported the results of their "investigating into the association between the ratio of dietary omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids and bone mineral density (BMD). In their study, subjects were 1,532 men and women ranging in age from 45 to 90 who answered food intake questionnaires and underwent tests of their bone density." [2]

The result were astonishing, because they found that "the hip bones of people who consumed more omega-6 EFAs relative to omega-3 EFAs were less dense-hence more prone to fracture-while people who consumed more omega-3 EFAs relative to omega-6 EFAs had denser, stronger bones."

As the authors said, "A higher ratio of n-6 [omega-6] to n-3 [omega-3] fatty acids is associated with lower BMD at the hip in both sexes. These findings suggest that the relative amounts of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids may play a vital role in preserving skeletal integrity in older age."

If you're looking to incorporate more omega-3-fatty acids into your diet, fish is your best bet. The purest choice fish include canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sablefish, and small, troll-caught tuna. However, if you're not a fish eater, TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that's high in omega-3 fatty acids.

TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

As mentioned earlier, omega-3 supports our wellness in so many ways, which now includes healthy bones. It's one of the best nutrients to reduce runaway inflammation. This may be new to you, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.

Omega 3 and Omega Prime

2009-10-09T05:00:00.000-07:00

I want to share some excerpts from an article on omega-3s. I feel it is an important article and can possibly save people some heartache if they would read it and start including omega-3s into their diet. The article is courtesy of Vital Choice, the world's best source of superior wild Salmon and Seafood. You can read the entire article by copying the url at the bottom of this post, and pasting it into your web browser.

A great deal of evidence indicates that omega-3s can reduce the risk of stroke, sudden cardiac death, and second heart attacks.
Omega-3s are believed to reduce the risk of sudden cardiac death by modulating heart rhythms.

But omega-3s also reduce the risk of stroke and second heart attacks, and are associated with reduced risk or severity in various chronic conditions characterized by inflammation … such as auto-immune disorders, allergies, asthma, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's...

Cardiovascular disease is characterized by buildup of arterial plaque ... a condition called atherosclerosis.

And atherosclerosis begins when oxidized cholesterol and fats invade artery walls... a process that causes the body to initiate an inflammatory immune-system response that actually promotes more plaque buildup.

This inflammatory immune system response is triggered when a key genetic switch or "nuclear transcription factor" called NF-kB activates genes associated with inflammation and cell defenses...

Statin drugs such as Lipitor and Zocor are proven to reduce inflammation within arterial plaques, thereby slowing further accumulation of plaque and helping to keep plaque from bursting and releasing clots that can block arteries.

And statin drugs do this in part by preventing the activation of pro-inflammatory genetic switches like NF-kB, both within arterial cells and within immune system cells such as PBMCs...

Thanks to new clinical research from Holland, we can be sure that omega-3s exert beneficial influence on over NF-kB and other genes in the artery and immune system cells of living people...

The results from a study performed in Holland states that the immune-system cells of participants (of the study) in the High-Omega-3 group underwent beneficial changes to genetic switches, including NF-kB ... changes that made these cells less likely to promote plaque buildup or the inflammation that can cause arterial plaques to rupture with deadly consequences.

And because they help show why omega-3s would be beneficial, these findings lend further credence to the positive results of clinical trials showing that omega-3 fish oil supplements reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and death.

As a vocal proponent of preventative medicine rather than prescription drugs and/or surgical procedures, I prefer taking an all natural omega-3 essential fatty acid supplement, like TriVita's Omega Prime. Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines: one daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

2009-09-23T08:29:00.000-07:00

With all the current pregnancies in our church, I thought I'd look into some of the disorders that may arise during a pregnancy. I also looked at vitamins and minerals, and their affect, both good and bad, on pregnant women. One such order that I've found is Preeclampsia, which from at least one study showed that all the women suffering from this disorder had low levels of vitamin d and omega-3.

What is Preeclampsia?

According to the Preeclampsia website, "Preeclampsia is a disorder that occurs only during pregnancy and the postpartum period and affects both the mother and the unborn baby. Affecting at least 5-8% of all pregnancies, it is a rapidly progressive condition characterized by high blood pressure and the presence of protein in the urine. Swelling, sudden weight gain, headaches and changes in vision are important symptoms; however, some women with rapidly advancing disease report few symptoms." [1]

The exact causes of Preeclampsia remain unclear, although researchers suspect poor nutrition, high body fat, immune deficiencies, and insufficient blood flow to the uterus, with ethnicity and heredity seen as possible factors.

Hopes have been raised for a number of possible preventive factors – including antioxidant vitamins and chocolate – but these indications were not supported by subsequent research (Triche EW et al. 2008; Rumbold A et al. 2008; Klebanoff MA et al. 2009). [2]

Can low vitamin D levels have an affect on women during their pregnancy?

A recent study conducted in Norway showed that "nulliparous women who develop Preeclampsia had low concentrations of vitamin D in serum sampled in mid-pregnancy. The aim of the present study was to estimate the association between intake of vitamin D during pregnancy and the risk of Preeclampsia in 23,423 nulliparous pregnant women taking part in the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study." [3]

The findings in the study may not be conclusive, however, it did show that women who had Preeclampsia, did have a lower level of vitamin d. "The findings are consistent with other reports of a protective effect of vitamin D on Preeclampsia development. However, because vitamin D intake is highly correlated with the intake of long chain n-3 fatty acids in the Norwegian diet, further research is needed to disentangle the separate effects of these nutrients." [3]

Because of the high consumption of fish in the Norwegian diet, researchers also noted that the women who reported higher vitamin D intake also reported higher omega-3 intake (from food and/or pills). This makes sense, given that fish are by far the best food sources of both nutrients.

You may have heard that omega-3 essential fatty acids are an important part of your diet, and so is vitamin d. Whether you are pregnant or not, eating healthy foods and taking a daily supplement is the key to good health.

A good source of vitamin d is TriVita's VitaCal-Mag D, which provides, five forms of chelated calcium, over 20 bone-fortifying vitamins and minerals, 100% RDI of Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc and Vitamin D, and Chlorophyll-coated tablets that protect valuable nutrients, time-releasing optimal absorption.

And a good source of omega-3 is TriVita's Omega Prime, which meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

For everything that's suggested as being good, there is usually something that's bad. It's no difference when it comes to physical fitness.

Just when you thought exercise was important in order to maintain your ideal weight, and keep you physically fit, we hear about a down side, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). It's not likely that you'll ever experience DOMS, but the fact remains that it does effect many people who are determined to stay, or get in shape.

According to Wikipedia, "(DOMS), sometimes called muscle fever, is the pain or discomfort often felt 24 to 72 hours after exercising and subsides generally within 2 to 3 days. It is commonly thought to be caused by increased lactate concentrations; however, this is a misconception as it has been shown elevated levels of lactic acid rarely persist after an hour of rest." [1]

This sort of muscle pain is not quite the same as the muscle pain or fatigue you experience during exercise. This delayed pain is also very different than the acute, sudden pain of and injury such as muscle strains and sprains, which is marked by an abrupt, specific and sudden pain that occurs during activity and often causes swelling or bruising.

There are no real known simple treatment for DOMS; however, several theories or home remedies, if you will, have been used to treat DOMS. Research continues on DOMS, but researchers haven't come up with a solution for a quick recovery from DOMS. Although there is no real cure, research has been focusing on "anti-inflammatory and antioxidant agents."

One of the key elements of focus is omega-3. Many of us may know that omega-3s are known for their anti-inflammatory agents. That's why attention has been moving towards these broadly beneficial fatty acids.

Not only do essential fatty acids (EFAs), which are primarily found in fatty fish, such as salmon, herring, and to a lesser extent tuna, help protect the heart and lower cholesterol, but now researchers are finding that they can also help cure DOMS.

A research team in Iran has published the encouraging results of a small randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (Tartibian B et al. Clin J Sport Med 2009). [2]

"In this study, 27 men who had not participated in any exercise program for 60 days were asked to do bench-stepping in a way known to cause 'eccentric muscle loading', wherein the muscle lengthens as it contracts, frequently causing muscle damage and resulting DOMS." [3]

Before beginning the exercise, the men were assigned to take either fish oil (high in omega-3 EPA and DHA) or placebo pills.

"The researchers measured indirect markers of muscle soreness, including perceived pain, thigh circumference (an indicator of muscle inflammation), and range of motion in the knee joint. Compared to the placebo and control group, the men in the omega-3 fish oil group showed significant improvements 24 and 48 hours following the exercise.:" [3]

If your starting a new exercise routine, follow the advice of physical fitness experts and start slowly and and make sure you warm-up, before exercising, and cool-down, after exercising. These simple steps may prevent DOMS. If you're like me, you want to go full out right away, which is not the best way to loss weight or get in shape.

If you do happen to experience DOMS, or if your looking for an omega-3 supplement, try TriVita's Omega Prime, a supplement that supplies your daily requirements of omega-3 fatty acids.

I've read some articles stating that about 90 percent of Americans are at risk for serious health threats such as heart disease and stroke because of clogged arteries and poor circulation? One of the main reasons for this blockage in your blood flow is trans fats. These chains of fat link together and damage the enzyme that regulates your circulation. However, by introducing omega-3 fatty acids that support healthy blood flow, you can protect yourself from these dangerous and possibly deadly conditions.

It's important to eat a healthy, balanced diet in order for the body to work at its optimum level and in depth research studies continue to highlight the importance of further avoiding trans fats.

There are many reports about Atherosclerosis,a disease in which plaque (plak) builds up on the insides of your arteries, which explain how consuming trans fats can lead to clogged arteries. It's the carbon chains within the fats that are unnaturally developed and thus interfere with the function of an important enzyme that regulates blood flow.

While trans fats cause clogged arteries, there are many good fats which the body uses that can be found in omega-3 nutritional supplements and individuals can receive the full range of these benefits by following a trans fat-free diet and exercise plan.

Lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet, exercising and supplementation, are often the first line of defense in treating atherosclerosis. However sometimes, medication or surgical procedures may be recommended as well.

As a vocal proponent of preventative medicine rather than prescription drugs and/or surgical procedures, I prefer taking an all natural omega-3 essential fatty acid supplement, like TriVita's Omega Prime. Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines: one daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Omega Prime's EFAs support our wellness in so many ways; it all starts with help in reducing runaway inflammation. It's a fact that runaway inflammation can lead to a variety of serious health problems within the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more. Start today on a road to the prevention of heart disease and stroke; prevention may be your best medicine.

New Omega-3 Study

2009-08-20T05:41:00.000-07:00

Information from a new research study, which was published in the European Heart Journal, reveals that eating oily fish, such as salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel and trout at least once per week can contribute to a reduction in the risk of heart failure in men.

The study was conducted at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). In the study, they analyzed 39,367 Swedish men between the ages of 45 and 79 from 1998 to 2004. "The researchers recorded details of the men’s diet and tracked the men’s outcome through Swedish inpatient hospital registers and cause-of-death registers. During this period, 597 men in the study (with no previous history of heart disease or diabetes) developed heart failure. Thirty-four men died." [1]

The study produced solid evidence that the men who ate fatty fish once a week had a 12 percent lower risk of developing heart failure.

"Analysis of their numbers showed that the men who ate fatty fish (herring, mackerel, salmon, whitefish and char) once a week were 12 percent less likely to develop heart failure, compared with men who ate no fatty fish. Although this association did not reach statistical significance, notes Levitan, the researchers also found a statistically significant association with the intake of marine omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in cod liver and other fish oils: The men who consumed approximately 0.36 grams a day were 33 percent less likely to develop heart failure than the men who consumed little or no marine omega-3 fatty acids." [1]

"Our study reinforces the current recommendations for moderate consumption of fatty fish," notes first author Emily Levitan, PhD, a research fellow in the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Center at BIDMC. "Current guidelines from the American Heart Association recommend eating fatty fish twice a week."

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food, and or supplements. However, there has been some concerns regarding mercury contamination of omega-3 fatty acids supplements. If mercury is a concern, I suggest taking certified mercury-free omega-3 supplements like TriVita's Omega Prime.

Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Further research suggests that essential fatty acids (EFAs) support our wellness in so many ways, starting with helping to reduce runaway inflammation. Many of us don't realize this, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body, not only with the heart, but also with the arteries, lungs, and joints.

Many of us are not a fish eaters; if that's you, Omega Prime can be a great addition to your diet. And since omega-3 fatty acids are recommended by doctors and health professionals, it's important to get your recommended daily requirement.

2009-07-30T05:36:00.000-07:00

I've written several articles about omega-3 and the health benefits associated with essential fatty acids (EFSs). In a recent press release concerning a mouse study of the effects of omega-3s on age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the American Journal of Pathology called frequent enjoyment of fish the "see food" diet (AJP 2009).

Age-related macular degeneration causes retinal damage that cuts vision in the center of the visual field (macula)... and is the leading cause of severe vision loss and legal blindness among the elderly.

About one in 10 of people from 66 to 74 years of age develop some level of macular degeneration, making it difficult for them to read, or even to recognize faces.

Here's a quote from the press release from the American Journal of Pathology:

"A diet high in omega-3 fatty acids has been found to protect against a variety of diseases including atherosclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. Retrospective studies have suggested that diets high in fish oil or omega-3 fatty acids may also contribute to protection against AMD.
A group led by Dr. Chi-Chao Chan at the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD examined the direct effect of omega-3 fatty acids on a mouse model of AMD. A diet with high levels of omega-3 fatty acids resulted in slower lesion progression, with improvement in some lesions. These mice had lower levels of inflammatory molecules and higher levels of anti-inflammatory molecules, which may explain this protective effect." [1]

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human health, which now includes the eyes, but they cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other marine life such as algae and krill, certain plants (including purslane), and nut oils.

You can also get omega-3 essential fatty acids through supplementation. As a matter of fact many supplements are less contaminate risky than some seafood. Since mercury contanination is a big concern of a lot of individuals, TriVita has taken the extra steps to insure mercury-free omega-3, and it comes in the form of their Omega Prime.

TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 essential fatty acids to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

Before the recent study, omega-3 was considered more of an inflammation fighter, and a nutrient to protect your heart. As a matter of fact, Omega Prime meets the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Start protecting your heart, fight inflammation, and protect your eyes by including omega-3 into your daily diet.

Did you know that your brain is made up of 60% fat? And did you know that the neurons that communicate messages to your brain need high concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids to get the job done? If you answered no to one of both of these questions, chances are, you're not getting enough omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs).

If you're not getting enough omega-3's—your brain is one of the first organs to feel the effects. And that means...

Sluggish thinking and mental fog
"Senior moments" and forgetfulness
Poor concentration and memory recall
Inability to learn new things
Mood swings and sadness

In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that mood problems will become the second leading cause of disability worldwide by 2020. [1]

And researchers say this increase may be due to the fact that we're eating fewer amounts of essential omega-3's. It's suggested that we should not take a chance with our brain health. We need to make sure we boost our levels of healthy omega-3's.

"Regular fish consumption (1-2 servings per week) is protective against coronary heart disease and ischaemic stroke and is recommended. The serving should provide an equivalent of 200-500 mg of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid. People who are vegetarians are recommended to ensure adequate intake of plant sources of a-linolenic acid." [2]

If you're not a fish eater, like many people, it's never been easier to get your regular dose of omega-3 because TriVita's Omega Prime contains healthy omega-3's, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are both found only in coldwater fish like salmon and herring.

With a healthy dose of 400 mg of omega-3—you get powerful omega-3 supplementation to help boost your brain and body health.

Other ingredients in Omega Prime are organic flaxseed oil, which contains "alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid that appears to be beneficial for heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis, and other health conditions"[3], and evening primrose oil, which "contains an omega-6 essential fatty acid, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is believed to be the active ingredient."[4]

Omega Prime not only protects the brain, but also meets the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines for omega-3 intake. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Now, you can protect your brain and heart at the same time by taking a daily supplement, TriVita's Omega Prime.

I continue to do research on the nutritional products that TriVita provides. In a effort to solidify the information provided by TriVita, along with the claims made on their products, I always feel a need to go that extra mile, and do my own research. With that said, here is what I've found experts, backed by case studies, have said about the importance of omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs).

"Dr Emanuel Severus of the Berlin University finds that major depression is characterized by a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids and that these acids possess powerful anti-arrhythmic properties. He suggests that the missing link in the recently established association between major depression and sudden cardiac death may be the omega-3 fatty acid deficiency which characterizes both conditions." [1]

The American Heart Association (AHA) has been claiming that omega-3 is important to keeping the heart healthy. I've also written about that in my past articles. As a matter of fact, the AHA recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon) at least 2 times a week. Your can learn more by going to their web site.

"DHA, a major component of fish oils, is the most important fatty acid in the brain and retina and makes up more than 30% of the structural lipid (fat) in neurons. There is ample evidence that a deficiency of DHA is associated with depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and dementia. Clinical studies have shown that an increased intake of DHA may benefit patients with dyslexia and Alzheimer's disease." [2]

"Researchers at Boston University and Tufts University School of Medicine now report that they have found a clear association between low blood levels of DHA and the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease...The researchers suggest that maintaining adequate levels of DHA through the consumption of fish or dietary supplements rich in DHA may be particularly important for the elderly." [2]

I've written articles about Alzheimer's Disease, and the importance of omega-3 fatty acids as a preventative natural product. In the previous study, it's a proven fact that "increased intake of DHA may benefit patients with dyslexia and Alzheimer's disease." Omega Prime, TriVita's omega-3 fatty acid supplement, is a great source of DHA to help prevent this terrible disease.

"Manic-depressive illness (bipolar disorder) is a common, severe mental illness involving repeated episodes of depression, mania (rapid mood changes, hyperactivity, and excessive cheerfulness) or both. It is usually treated with drugs such as lithium carbonate or valproate. Unfortunately, these drugs are not very effective and recurrence rates are high. It is generally believed that bipolar disorder involves an overactivity in the neuronal signal pathways. Omega-3 fatty acids are known to dampen this overactivity and medical researchers at the Harvard Medical School have confirmed that omega-3 oils may be useful in the treatment of bipolar disorder." [3]

This is the first information I've seen regarding omega-3 being used to treat bipolar disorders. However, it must be working because the Harvard researchers urge that further trials of fish oils in the treatment of depression and manic-depressive illness be completed.

Those are just a few findings on the importance of incorporating omega-3 into your daily diet. I know a lot of people do not like fish, that's why TriVita has developed Omega Prime, a premier blend of essential fatty acids from 4 sources -- Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed.

Many of us have heard of the importance of including omega-3 fatty acids in our diets. However, we've never known why. I an effort to find the true answer, I've taken to Google in a search for a definitive reason. With that said, I've found many web sites with great articles, and hope my findings will finally show you why it's important to include omega-3 fatty acids into your diet.

According to Dr. Ben Kim, a chiropractor, acupuncturist, and natural health activist, he says the key health benefits of including omega-3 fatty acids in your diet are:

Omega-3 fatty acids can help keep your heart and blood vessels healthy. In doing so, they can reverse and prevent high blood pressure, as well as reduce your risk of suffering a stroke.
Omega-3 fatty acids can decrease pain and inflammation throughout your body.
Omega-3 fatty acids may help prevent breast and colon cancer.
Omega-3 fatty acids can help to reverse and prevent depression and other mental/emotional health challenges. [1]

A research doctor, Dr. James Hopkins, commented on Dr. Kim's article and said that "...I have found that patients do better with fish oil as far as lipid profiles are concerned, also inflammatory disease conditions and other health concerns and enjoy more benefits from fish oil."

Fish oil, especially found in fish like salmon, cod, mackerel, and tuna, is one of the best sources of the omega-3 fatty acids. A lot of people do not like fish. If that's the case, is there another way to get essential fatty acids? Yes, through dark green leafy vegetables, flax seeds, hemp seeds, walnuts, and a variety of vegetable oils.

According to Dr. Kim, the leafy vegetables and flax seeds are a better source of ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid), not EPA (EicosoPentaenoic Acid) and DHA (DocosaHexaenoic Acid), which are found in the fish listed above. So what does all this mean?

"Your body is able to convert ALA into EPA and DHA. So theoretically, if you are in excellent health and eat lots of dark green leafy vegetables, ground flax seeds, and walnuts, your body should be able to produce enough EPA and DHA from ALA to provide all of the health benefits listed above." [1]

"People who support the use of fish oil for a direct source of EPA and DHA will sometimes cite studies that claim that some groups of people are not able to convert ALA to DHA, at least not very efficiently." [1]

Dr. Kim says, ":Some people who support eating only plant foods raise objections to using fish oil, such as the possibility of omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil turning rancid, as well as the possibility of fish oil containing environmental pollutants like mercury. These objections are valid, as independent studies performed by organizations like consumerlabs.com have found that some brands of fish oil contain rancid fatty acids that can harm your health. And there's no question that fish from all parts of the world stand a chance of being contaminated to some degree by mercury and other industrial pollutants."

I support a product by TriVita, called Omega Prime. Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

That leads me to another article I found that agrees with Dr. Kim. The article states that, "A new study just published in the European Heart Journal concludes that eating fatty fish and the marine omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil appears to protect men from heart failure." [2]

"Because heart failure (also known as congestive heart failure, or CHF) is an enormous health problem in the U.S. According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, approximately five million Americans have the condition and about 300,000 die from heart failure each year." [2]

There are many studies that have been conducted to prove, or possibly discredit, the importance of omega-3 fatty acids. However, I've yet to find a study that claims omega-3 fatty acids do not benefit the human body, especially the heart. If you don't believe me; take to Google and see what you can find on omega-3 essential fatty acids.

If you're concerned with taking fish oil as a supplement, Omega Prime is free of mercury/contaminant free fish oil, which is the result of an exclusive 10 stage process to ensure its purity, potency and quality (plus a higher level of Vitamin E for maximizing the fish oil's potency).

TriVita™ is dedicated to helping people pursue healthy living. A trusted health solutions provider since 1999, they develop nutritional products and offer health and wellness services that support the whole person - physically, emotionally and spiritually.

The Weekly Wellness Report by Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Brazos Minshew, is chalk full of health information, from preventative medicine to one of the biggest killers, heart disease.

"Around 700,000 people in North America die from heart attacks each year. The most common cause of heart attacks is a blood clot caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). Yet, as bad as CAD is, heart attacks from narrow arteries and blood clots are not the only conditions that cause heart disease. Many heart diseases exist and are preventable with just a little care"

According to the eMedTV web site, "coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease. About 13 million people in the United States have coronary artery disease. It is the number one killer of both men and women. Based on 2003 data, 685,089 people died from coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease and stroke (another cardiovascular disease) account for nearly 40 percent of all deaths."[1]

The most common cause of heart disease in North America is high blood pressure; it affects 73 million people in the U.S. alone. High blood pressure may be caused by:

Disease in the blood vessels that cause them to narrow
Imbalances in the kidneys, lungs and liver
Cardiomyopathy - a disease of the heart muscle

The Brazos Minshew of TriVita, Brazos Minshew, says that "some people can reduce their high blood pressure simply by practicing deep breathing. Other techniques include increasing fruits and vegetables, and increasing fiber and water while reducing sodium."

"Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up inside a blood vessel of the heart. CAD affects over 16 million people in the U.S. It leads to angina pectoris - pain caused by poor blood flow to the heart muscles - and is associated with heart attack."

"Coronary artery disease responds well to a low-fat, high-fiber diet of mainly fruits and vegetables. Stress reduction and daily exercise are also effective therapies in combating CAD. Almost all heart specialists recommend Omega-3 oils, such as those found in TriVita's Omega Prime, as effective tools in combating CAD."

"Omega Prime can help reduce the 'stickiness' of blood to protect against clots and may slow down the process of plaque formation. One or two grams are enough to help protect against heart disease, but much more is needed if the heart is already diseased."[2]

Many studies suggest that our bodies have a daily need for Essential Fatty Acids. Research has proven that these EFAs play a key role in helping us to sustain vibrant good health. EFAs nourish the body's heart, brain, skin, glands and joints - and are critical to the hormone production process.

But there is a problem, as research has discovered, our bodies cannot make the EFAs internally. So these critical fats must come from outside sources. And that's where Omega Prime comes into play.

OmegaPrime's EFAs support our wellness in so many ways, starting with helping to reduce runaway inflammation. Many of us don't realize this, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.

Plus Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Omega Prime

2009-06-22T05:17:00.000-07:00

Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish such as tuna and salmon may protect against progression of age-related macular degeneration, but the benefits appear to depend on the stage of disease and whether certain supplements are taken, researchers say.

Age-related macular degeneration is a chronic eye disease marked by deterioration of tissue in the part of your eye that's responsible for central vision. The deterioration occurs in the macula (MAK-u-luh), which is in the center of the retina — the layer of tissue on the inside back wall of your eyeball.
Macular degeneration doesn't cause total blindness, but it worsens your quality of life by blurring or causing a blind spot in your central vision. Clear central vision is necessary for reading, driving, recognizing faces and doing detail work.[1]

The researchers calculated intakes of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid from dietary questionnaires administered to 2,924 men and women, ages 55 to 80, participating in an eight-year supplement trial, the Age-Related Eye Disease Study of the National Eye Institute. [2]

The trial results suggest taking supplements of antioxidants plus zinc prevents progression of late-stage AMD. [2]

The results, which are published online ahead of print in the British Journal of Ophthalmology, are in a report from researchers at the Laboratory for Nutrition and Vision Research, and Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University.

Eating two to three servings of fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, shellfish, and herring every week would achieve the recommended daily intake of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid.

However, the majority of the study participants participants and Americans eat a much lower level than recommended.

":If changing dietary habits is not easy, supplementation is an option," says corresponding author Chung-Jung Chiu.

As a matter of fact, the American Heart Association (AHA) also recommends eating fish, high in omega-3 fatty acids, at least 2 times a week. However, it's advised that pregnant women, nursing mothers, young children, and women who might become pregnant not eat several types of fish, including swordfish, shark, and king mackerel. These individuals should also limit consumption of other fish, including albacore tuna, salmon, and herring. They can take omega-3 fatty acids in quality dietary supplements that are certified mercury-free by a reputable third-party lab, like TriVita's Omega Prime.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food or through supplementation. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

The AHA has already proven that omega-3 fatty acids is important to a healthy heart, but now, it seems that there is some evidence to back up the the facts that omega-3 fatty acids also help people suffering from age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Prevention may be your best medicine. With all the great supplements on the market, it doesn't make sense for anyone to suffer for diseases that can be prevented.

TriVita Omega Prime and Your Hormones

Hormones are natural messengers produced by our bodies. They are responsible for successful development, normal behavior, maintenance of normal body processes and reproduction.

The hormone with which you are probably most familiar is estrogen. Both men and women need estrogen to be healthy. For example, your heart needs estrogen in order for the heart valves to close properly. You may be surprised to learn that estrogen is not a single hormone; rather, it is a group of hormones. Each type of estrogen has a different function in your body.

You may have heard of testosterone. If so, you may have associated testosterone with men. However, women actually produce testosterone as well (just as men also produce estrogen). Some benefits of testosterone in men and women include maintaining muscle mass, reducing body fat, growing healthier hair and, of course, a healthier libido.

These two hormones are not the whole "hormone picture." In fact, they represent broad categories of hormones that may encompass hundreds of other hormones. Also, they interact in such a way that a relative excess in one hormone may make another hormone seem deficient even though blood tests say it is "normal."

Estrogen and testosterone, among others, are examples of trophic hormones. They are made of the same substance: cholesterol. If your body is unable to convert cholesterol into these hormones you may see your blood levels of cholesterol rise. You can bring your cholesterol down and your low hormones up by helping convert cholesterol to trophic hormones.

Balancing hormones is simple, though it is not always easy: We make them, use them and get rid of (detoxify) them. This is the cycle of balanced hormones. The vast majority of people using this procedure achieve balanced hormones in just a few months.

We make good hormones from good fats. Most doctors recommend over 1,200 milligrams of Omega-3 fats for building healthy hormones. OmegaPrime® contains Omega-3 fats. OmegaPrime also contains Evening Primrose oil to help convert cholesterol to any of these hormones that may be low. You may find that you need higher levels of OmegaPrime every day to properly convert cholesterol into trophic hormones.

TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Omega Prime's EFAs support our wellness in so many ways, starting with helping to reduce runaway inflammation. Many of us don't realize this, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.

Balanced Woman® (for women) and Prostate Health Formula (for men) along with Vitamin E help direct the hormones where they need to go. Once there, Balanced Woman, Prostate Health Formula and Vitamin E help the hormones complete their work: building up the body and mind.

The hormones must be excreted from your body to prevent them from building up to toxic levels. TriVita has several products, like Balanced Woman and Prostate Health Formula, that nourish this detoxification process.

The basis of this article, and the information used is provided by Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Chief Science Officer. Minshew is in charge of formulating the best new supplements possible. He is dedicated to bringing greater health and wellness to TriVita's Members. He combines an extensive background in medical science, natureopathy and alternative treatments to create lifestyle and nutritional solutions to prevent health challenges.

Imbalanced hormones can cause uncomfortable symptoms, which creates stress. Stress all by itself creates hormone imbalances. Add the insult of a toxic world to the daily traumas, nutrient deficiencies and stresses from inside and outside our bodies and we have a recipe for disaster.

Omega Prime

To many, it's a known fact that long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) have plenty of positive affects on the human body. Nutritionists and medical professionals would probably all agree that eating foods, like salmon, tuna, and mackerel are more healthy than eating any type of meat. Unfortunately, a lot of people do not like fish.

According to experts, and a new study by the Harvard School of Public Health, there are three primary reasons for a high ranking of omega-3 deficiency as a risk factor for preventable death:

Omega-3s are proven to prevent stroke, second heart attacks, and sudden cardiac death, which is responsible for half of all heart-related deaths.
Omega-3s appear to reduce depression, which is linked to heart disease and suicide.
Omega-3s are critical to proper immune function.

The study revealed "that a deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids in the diet causes up to 96,000 preventable deaths annually in the United States." The researchers also went on to say that "low omega-3 intake ranked as the sixth greatest killer, responsible for about 84,000 preventable deaths in 2005."

Causing 84,000 preventable deaths, low omega-3 intake was found a greater risk factor than high intake of trans fatty acids (82,000 preventable deaths), found in hydrogenated vegetable oils (Danaei G et al. 2009).

What is the recommended daily requirement of omega-3 fatty acids?

Most world health authorities recommend taking 500mg or more per day, and the American Heart Association recommends that heart patients take 1,000mg per day under medical supervision.

If fish is your best source of EPA and DHA's, and your not a fish eater, how else can you get this all important polyunsaturated fat?

Many brands of omega-3 oils and supplements are available in grocery stores and vitamin shops. If you choose fish oil, be sure the brand you select is mercury free. TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that I suggest, and one gives you the needed fatty acid to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

Before taking any supplements, first and foremost, ask your health professional then read as much as you can about the additional fish oil benefits. You'll find that they provide an amazing array of health benefits.

Omega 3 and Heart Health

2009-05-21T09:55:00.000-07:00

In recent years, a new signal of risk for heart disease has emerged, called C-reactive protein or CRP. High CRP levels are now considered a major independent predictor for the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and suffering an adverse cardiovascular event.

According to research, blood CRP levels rise when inflammation levels rise throughout the body. Researchers still do not know whether CRP is simply a sign of cardiovascular disease, or if it actually plays a role in causing it.

However, additional research reveals that diets rich in omega-3s may lower levels of a protein associated with inflammation and higher heart risks.

As a matter of fact, omega-3s are most closely tied to prevention of "sudden cardiac death", which is usually caused by arrhythmias (erratic heartbeat) and accounts for half of all heart-related deaths.

Health authorities worldwide recommend fatty fish and fish oil to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its adverse outcomes. The adverse outcomes that omega-3-rich diets may help prevent include stroke and second heart attacks.

The best source of omega-3 fatty acids comes from fish oil which is most prominent in salmon, mackerel, and tuna. However, there are many supplements, like TriVita's Omega Prime, that are great sources of omega-3 fish oil.

Due to the increase in heart related diseases, researchers from universities in the US, Japan, and Australia, continue to research the relationship between omega-3 and CRP. One such study "linked higher omega-3 fatty acid levels (DHA+EPA) with lower levels of CRP and another major marker of inflammation, interleukin-6 (IL-6)." [1]

In patients with stable coronary artery disease, an independent and inverse association exists between omega-3 fatty acid levels and inflammatory biomarkers. These findings suggest that inhibition of systemic inflammation may be a mechanism by which omega-3 fatty acids prevent recurrent cardiovascular events.

I'm not a medical or dietary expert, but I do know that all this research is leading to what I believe; fish is a good source of omega-3, and omega-3 fatty acids may improve cardiovascular health in healthy individuals.

I suggest taking TriVita's Omega Prime as the supplement to get your daily requirements of omega-3 fatty acids. If you're not a fish eater, Omega Prime can be a great addition to your diet. Since omega-3 fatty acids are recommended by doctors and health professionals, it's important to get your daily requirement.

Omega Prime

2009-04-29T05:32:00.000-07:00

Most health conscious individuals already know that fish oil contains Omega-3 fatty acids. However, how many of you know that these fatty acids are called docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Not a big deal, I just thought I'd share what I've learned while learning more about omega-3 fatty acids.

Now the BIG DEAL! These phenomenal nutrients have been scientifically proven to help with a host of health problems-including inflammation, high blood pressure, heart illnesses, memory problems, and high cholesterol, just to name a few.

A simple known fact, your body can't naturally produce essential fatty acids-so you've got to get them from foods or supplements.

Unfortunately the majority of our diets are extremely low in Omega-3s. However, most diets contain 10 times more Omega-6s than we need! This imbalance, between omega-3s and omega-6s, triggers painful inflammation that has been proven, through scientific research, to wreak havoc with your health!

This dietary imbalance of omega-3s and omega-6s is why many health conscious individuals choose to take fish oil supplements. Fish oil is one of the few nutrients that contains a rich source of Omega-3s. On the down side, not all fish oil supplements are created equal.

Fish oil is typically manufactured from large predator fish, which, in some cases, is loaded with dangerous toxins, PCBs, mercury and other heavy metals that can be dangerous to your health!

As mentioned previously, not all omega-3 supplements are created equal. It's very important to find a product that has passed specific guidelines regarding the purity if the fish oil. TriVita's Omega Prime is one such product.

TriVita's Omega Prime uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process. Plus Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

This rich abundance of Omega-3s-can quickly help balance the high levels of Omega-6s you consume in your diet each day-and even help UNDO some of the common damages that can lead to a host of health problems!

Are you eating fish 16 times a week? According to some articles, that's how much fatty fish, like salmon and mackerel, you'd need to eat to gain the Omega-3 benefits to help you prevent cardiovascular problems, mental decline, or vision problems!

Research shows that you need around 3,000 mg of Omega-3 just to maintain your health. So what does that mean? You would have to eat fish at least four times a week to get the needed omega-3s just to maintain your health.

If you already have heart problems - high cholesterol or triglycerides - or other cardiovascular problems-you need at least 12,000 mg of omega-3 per week; that's equates to eating fish 16 times a week!

And don't forget, fish can often contain those dangerous toxins (PCBs, mercury and other heavy metals) that can build up in your cells and cause health problems. That's why eating fish sixteen times a week may not be a healthy choice!

It's always best to check with your doctor or health professional before taking any supplements. However, with the known facts of the important health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, I do not see any reason for not taking the Omega Prime supplement, but than again, I'm not a doctor.

Prescription Omega-3

2009-04-28T05:52:00.000-07:00

I received my newsletter today from Vital Choice and was amazed to see a prescription omega-3 drug. As I continued to read the article, I found out that this "FDA approved" omega-3 drug, Lovaza® is nothing more than omega-3 fatty fish oil. [1] To my amazement, taking a prescription omega-3 fatty-fish oil drug will cost you, or your insurance company, $3360.00 per year. YIKES!

After further review of this omega-3 prescription drug, I've found information claiming that it's outrageous to spend that kind of money on fish-oil. However, some insurance companies are willing to pay the high cost of omega-3 fish oil, as a prescription, rather than support some high quality, less expensive, over-the-counter omega-3 supplements. It also seems that people don't care, as long as the insurance companies are picking up the tab.

"Lovaza® is FDA-approved for treatment of high triglycerides. But I am seeing more and more people take it for other reasons at this four-capsule-per-day dose. Regardless, this 'drug' is adding $3360 per year costs to our healthcare. A school teacher, for instance, recently commented to me that she didn't care about the costs, since her insurance (in Milwaukee county, teachers have unbelievably generous healthcare coverage) covers Lovaza. I've heard this from others: insurance covers it, so they don't care how much it costs." [2]

With all the high-quality omega-3s on the market, why did Lovaza® get approved by the FDA as a tried and true prescription drug that helps to lower triglyceride levels? According to the article in Vital Choice's newsletter, it was the deep pockets of the drug giant, GlaxoSmithKline. They were willing to pay the high price to get their "drug" approved by the FDA.

Lovaza® did not gain approval as a triglyceride-lowering drug because it is the only high-dose fish oil that would work, or the only one available to people with very high triglyceride levels.
Instead, Lovaza® gained FDA approval because only a deep-pocketed drug firm like GSK can afford the $250 million or so it takes to get through the costly process.

In fact, Lovaza's approval as a drug rests on the same kind of clinical evidence seen with non-prescription, high-dose fish oil.

Lovaza® is simply a high-potency omega-3 supplement with a specific -- hence patentable -- chemical profile, made by a big drug firm able to fund its own clinical trials.

It's the same old thing, if you have enough money you can get anything approved, or passed by the federal government.

Many of us know that our bodies have a daily need for Essential Fatty Acids (EFA). These EFAs play a key role in helping us to sustain vibrant good health. EFAs nourish the body's heart, brain, skin, glands and joints - and are critical to the hormone production process.

But there is a problem -- our bodies cannot make the EFAs internally. So these critical fats must come from outside sources. Whether these sources are received naturally, through fish, or through some sort of omega-3 supplement, the need for EFA's is important.

It's not the importance of EPA's that's in question here, rather the cost effectiveness between an over-the-counter daily supplement, versus a high priced prescription drug, that makes the same claim as all other high-quality omega-3 supplements, "lowering high triglyceride levels, and raise levels of HDL (good cholesterol) in adults."

If you're looking to naturally incorporate omega-3-fatty acids into your diet, fish is your best bet. The purest choice fish include canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sablefish, and small, troll-caught tuna.

On the other hand, if you're not a fish eater, TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 fatty acid to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Omega Prime can be purchased at less than one-tenth the cost of Lovaza, and can deliver the same results. As with all TriVita products, you can expect the highest quality, and they are all backed by a money-back guarantee. I wonder if perscription drug companies ever make the same claim? I guess that's NOT important, because the insurance companies are paying for it anyway.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

2009-04-25T07:56:00.000-07:00

Strategies to Help With Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Sources of help

    * Proper diagnosis
      The most important step in caring for someone with ADHD is ensuring they are properly diagnosed.
As mentioned, there are many conditions that trigger inattentiveness and impulsivity. Occasionally,
a trial of medication for ADHD may be used by a physician to make the diagnosis. The physician prescribes
a drug and if it helps, the child is said to have ADHD. But response to medication is no way to diagnose ADHD.

      The most important part of any treatment is proper diagnosis.

    * Avoiding certain foods
      Next, limiting sugar and sweeteners and absolutely eliminating anything with colors and
additives will often prove helpful. Avoiding food allergies is imperative.
Children with ADHD are often allergic to grains, dairy, corn and soy.

    * Supplements
      Supplements that are helpful include a multiple vitamin/mineral supplement,
Vitamin B-12 (I prefer Super Sublingual B-12 because the ratio of folic acid to B-12 is better for ADHD),
VitaCal-Mag D as a calcium, magnesium, Vitamin D and zinc supplement and OmegaPrime
as a good source of both Omega-3 and Evening Primrose oil.
The amino acid GABA (as found in Peaceful Sleep) may also help balance the Beta and
Theta brain waves when used consistentl

    Take Control of Your Health

        * Get the proper diagnosis
              o See a physician
              o Test brain wave balance
              o Don’t treat without testing
        * Avoid colors, additives and sweeteners
        * Avoid food intolerances
        * Supplement the special nutrient needs of ADHD
              o Super Sublingual B-12
              o OmegaPrime
              o VitaCal-Mag D
              o Peaceful Sleep

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

2009-04-21T05:07:00.000-07:00

The growing number of allergic diseases affect the children in the western countries has grown over the past 30 years. According to an article by Vital Choices, entitled Mothers' Fish Oil Intake May Reduce Kids' Asthma Risk, states that Omega-3 fatty acids are important to the health of our cell membranes and immune systems.

"Omega-3s exert an anti-inflammatory influence on the immune system, and have been studied for their therapeutic or preventive potential inflammatory conditions ranging from eczema, asthma, and hay fever to rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's Disease."[1]

I've researched and written that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent risk factors associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. These essential fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function.

I've stated that both omega-6 and omega-3, fatty acids are essential to your health. Each one plays a different but critical role in inflammation, metabolism, and vascular health. While high omega-6 intake is not bad, it's the omega-imbalance, especially low omega-3 intake that causes the most damage.

What does it take for some people to understand that omega-3 fatty acids are not only important to your own body , but are also essential to the health of your offspring. Consuming omega-3 fatty acids is not hard. If you don't like fish, which is the best source of omega-3, you can take a daily supplement.

TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 fatty acid to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

We need to start taking responsibility for our children and their children by eating a healthy diet, taking a good nutritional vitamin and mineral supplement, and getting the proper quantity of omega-3 fatty acids. It's always important to check with your doctor or health professional before taking any supplements.

TriVitas Chief Science Officer Brazos Minshew

2009-04-07T11:13:00.000-07:00

TriVita’s Chief Science Officer Brazos Minshew

Brazos Minshew shares insights on reducing cholesterol and heart attacks:

Cholesterol levels alone do not serve us very well as determinants of heart attack risk. Homocysteine (HCY) levels are much more accurate in predicting who is at risk, and C-Reactive protein (CRP) is the best predictor for heart attack (as well as many other really bad conditions!).

Elevated cholesterol levels may be reduced with fiber such as TriVita’s Peaches and Cream; elevated homocysteine levels may be reduced with products such as TriVita’s HCY Guard. C-Reactive protein has been reduced quite consistently with essential fatty acid supplements such as OmegaPrime (1–6 grams daily). In medical literature, Omega-3 fats are consistently associated with reduced inflammation and reduced heart attack risk. Interestingly, some people respond well to fish oil while others respond better to flaxseed oil – a key reason why both ingredients are in OmegaPrime.

Learning to listen:

High cholesterol levels on a blood test should be viewed as warning signals from our bodies. Elevated homocysteine sounds a louder alarm and high C-Reactive protein levels sound the loudest siren of all.

New Omega-3 Study

2009-04-01T04:22:00.000-07:00

TriVita's Omega Prime is a great source for omega-3 fatty acids. The importance of consumming omega-3 fatty acids on a daily basis is becoming more and more recognizable. As new case studies surface, doctors and scientists alike discover the true effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids.

The latest study was performed on men, and focused on prostrate health. "Screening tests for PSA, or prostate specific antigen, are good at discovering prostate cancer, and can save lives." Men typically receive PSA screening during their annual physicals. This latest study shows that omega-3, found in fish oil, may help some men decrease their chances of having aggressive prostrate cancer.

New study supports omega-3s for prostate health Omega-3s from fish may help deter prostate cancer, according to a new report out of the University of California-San Francisco.

A team led by professor John S. Witte, Ph.D., conducted a "case-control" study, in which they compared the diets of 466 men diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer to the diets of 478 healthy men (Fradet V et al. 2009).

They classified the men according to their estimated omega-3 intake, and found that the men who consumed the most omega-3s from fish or fish oil were 63 percent less likely to have aggressive prostate cancer, compared to men with the lowest omega-3 intake. [1]

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human health, as you can see by this latest study, but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food, or a daily supplement. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other marine life such as algae and krill, certain plants (including purslane), and nut oils.

TriVita's Omega Prime, omega-3 supplements, supports our wellness in so many ways, starting with helping to reduce runaway inflammation, and now prostrate health in men. Many of us don't realize this, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.

triVita's Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Omega Prime by TriVita

2009-03-13T04:47:00.000-07:00

Getting omega-3 fatty acids from the source, like salmon, in our diets is ideal, but let's be honest: our busy lives don't always allow for this. There are a lot of companies out there selling omega-3 supplements. When it comes to choosing a company, you should base your choice on the quality and purity of the product.

Omega-3 fish oils should be sourced from deep-water fish inhabiting the least polluted waters on earth. Unfortunately, oily fish can contain high levels of toxic pesticides, dioxins, PCB's, or heavy metals such as lead and mercury, all of which must be removed in the preparation process for omega-3 supplements. Today, highly advanced omega-3 extraction and distillation processes efficiently remove toxins and impurities as well as maintain stability and freshness. If you are concerned about purity, call the manufacturer and request a certificate of analysis, where they show the results of tests for levels of lead, mercury, and cadmium in each batch.

That's where TriVita's Omega Prime comes in. It uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process. TriVita's Omega Prime is scientifically formulated and physician approved. TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded EFA oils -- Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed.

What about the dosage? The American Heart Association recommends consuming 1–3 grams per day of EPA and DHA. For certain medical conditions, however, higher doses of omega-3 products, up to 4 grams per day, can be used safely, and with good effect. A number of recent studies show that higher-dose omega-3 fatty acids can be extremely helpful, for example, for lowering high triglycerides, and that they are usually very well tolerated. I encourage you to talk with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using higher than average doses of omega-3's (more than 3 grams [>3000 mg] per day).

Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.

Omega-3 Deficiency in Kids

2009-03-11T19:31:00.000-07:00

Omega 3 fatty acids are not just important to adults, but according to an article by Vital Choice, many US and Canadian kids are deemed omega-3 deficient.

The omega-3s found only in fish and fish oil ? called EPA and DHA - are essential to health at all stages of life.
For infants up to the age of three, DHA is required for proper development of the brain and eyes.

After that, both EPA and DHA are important for thinking, learning, and memory, and research suggests that they may moderate behavior.

Humans can make EPA and DHA from the plant-form omega-3 called ALA.

But this is a very inefficient process that can be further reduced by the excess omega-6 fat intake characteristic of North American diets, and by genetic or other factors.

Read the complete article on omega-3 deficiency on kids by copying and pasting the link under the resources area into your web browser.

Omega- 3 fatty acids are just as important to adults as in kids. There are many health organization that recommend either eating fish high in fatty acids, or taking a supplement. How you get the necessary omega-3 fatty acids is not as important as making sure your body receives them.

The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon) at least 2 times a week. It is advised that pregnant women and mothers, nursing mothers, young children, and women who might become pregnant not eat several types of fish, including swordfish, shark, and king mackerel. These individuals should also limit consumption of other fish, including albacore tuna, salmon, and herring. They can take omega-3 fatty acids in quality dietary supplements that are certified mercury-free by a reputable third-party lab, like TriVita's Omega Prime.

Reduce Cardiovascular Inflammation -- which lowers the risks of heart disease, heart attack and stroke
Lessen Joint Inflammation -- which eases joint pain & inflammation for increased flexibility
Relieve Respiratory Inflammation – which lessens any inflammation-related to allergies and asthma.

Preventive Measures

2009-03-06T12:16:00.000-08:00

Preventive Measures That Can Improve Your Heart Health
Around 700,000 people in North America die from heart attacks each year.
The most common cause of heart attacks is a blood clot caused by coronary artery disease (CAD).
Yet, as bad as CAD is, heart attacks from narrow arteries and blood clots are not the only
conditions that cause heart disease. Many heart diseases exist and are preventable with just a little care.

Common conditions

High blood pressure
The most common cause of heart disease in North America is high blood pressure; it affects
73 million people in the U.S. alone. High blood pressure may be caused by:
Disease in the blood vessels that cause them to narrow
Imbalances in the kidneys, lungs and liver
Cardiomyopathy – a disease of the heart muscle
How to help: Keys to reducing high blood pressure are found in the 10 Essentials.
Some people can reduce their high blood pressure simply by practicing deep breathing.
Other techniques include increasing fruits and vegetables,
and increasing fiber and water while reducing sodium.

Coronary artery disease
Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up inside a
blood vessel of the heart. CAD affects over 16 million people in the U.S.
It leads to angina pectoris – pain caused by poor blood flow to the heart muscles –
and is associated with heart attack.

How to help: Coronary artery disease responds well to a low-fat,
high-fiber diet of mainly fruits and vegetables. Stress reduction and daily exercise are also
effective therapies in combating CAD. Almost all heart specialists recommend Omega-3
oils such as those in OmegaPrime as effective tools in combating CAD.

Congestive heart failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) and related forms of heart failure may affect over five million
people in North America. It is strongly related to diabetes and obesity.
Among the most common triggers in CHF is obstructive sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea builds up blood pressure in an attempt to get oxygen to critical tissues
such as the heart and brain.

How to help: Most people with CHF respond to treatment for sleep apnea,
treatment with CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10), and the other suggestions already mentioned.
Common remedies

Body weight and blood sugar control
Achieving and maintaining optimum body weight and blood sugar control are two suggestions
that always top the list of remedies for all forms of heart disease.
The Leanology program can help you meet those objectives.
Leanology is much more than a “diet plan” – it helps you make the necessary lifestyle adjustments
through nutrition and activity to help you reach and maintain a healthier weight.

Nutrients
OmegaPrime can help reduce the “stickiness” of blood to protect against clots and may slow down
the process of plaque formation. One or two grams are enough to help protect against heart disease,
but much more is needed if the heart is already diseased.

CoQ-10 offers significant benefits to the heart. It should be taken at bedtime to reduce
the impact of sleep apnea on the heart and brain.

Antioxidants such as Vitamin C and resveratrol (found in Super Antioxidant Complex)
are also best taken at night, then again in the morning.

Special proteins found in garlic and other antioxidants such as bilberry (found in VisionGuard)
can help improve lipids such as cholesterol while opening the tiniest blood vessels in the legs, hands, eyes, ears and brain.
In the end, many of the problems with heart disease can be protected against or even solved
with the tools we have readily at hand (always follow the advice of your healthcare provider for your personal condition).

Mens Health

2009-03-05T08:35:00.000-08:00

Mens Health

Mens health is dependent upon what boys did. Boys often played contact sport and often incurred broken or cracked bones. From personal experience this is true having broken three bones and suffered cracked ribs, all from playing sport. Did I mind at the time? Yes. Did I think of the future then? No.

Had I thought of the future I may not have been so gung ho and subscribed to the practice of not showing pain, especially to the opposition team. The long term results are aches and pain in my shoulder and arm joint plus my foot all on the right side coincidentally.

To cut a long story short, I have applied a lot of creams and lotions and taken pain killers a couple of times. All to no long term relief.

As a TriVita Business Affiliate I decided to try TriVita Omega Prime. Well I cannot say I felt immediate relief but after about six weeks I noticed that the pain level was minimal and that I could actually lie on my right side for a few hours. Previously five minutes lying on my right shoulder was my limit.

Also the actual rotation in the shoulder seems better, I am able to repeat 30 press ups without any pain.

The reson for the less pain is probably because Essential Fatty Acids helps lessen joint inflammatory pain. Essential Fatty Acids support mens health in two ways by fighting inflammation and developing growth and healthy aging.

The human body has a daily need for Essential Fatty Acids. They play a key role in helping to sustain vibrant health in men of all ages. Essential Fatty Acids nourish mens bodys heart, brain, skin, glands and joints.

The American Heart Association recommends taking EPA and DHA Omega 3 Fatty Acids to benefit heart health. Omega Prime contains 120 mg of EPA and 80 mg of DHA as well as 400mg of Omega 3 Fatty Acid.

Omega Prime helps in so many ways like lowering cholesterol as well. Mens health is linked to men's boyhood activities. So a key to mens health is educating boys as to long term consequences of playing sport and being injured.

TriVita Products -- Perilla Seed Oil Bursts with Omega-3 Fatty Acids

2009-02-24T12:48:00.000-08:00

TriVita Products -- Perilla Seed Oil Bursts with Omega-3 Fatty Acids

No wonder it’s such an important part of our OmegaPrime formulation
By Brazos Minshew, Chief Science Officer

What would you think of a food that could help balance your immune system, help reduce your cholesterol and improve your ability to breathe? Perilla seed oil is just such a food!

Perilla seeds have been used as a source of food and medicine for thousands of years. As interest in traditional remedies has grown in modern medicine, scientific studies have been carried out on perilla seeds as a possible remedy for allergies.

This is notable because the number of people diagnosed with allergies (allergic rhinitis) has significantly increased in recent years. A person experiences an allergy attack when the tiny cells that line the sinuses burst. These are called “mast cells” and they are filled with histamines, the substances that cause allergy symptoms. Pollen and other allergens rupture these cells and release the histamines in large amounts. Anything that stabilizes these cells and keeps them from bursting gives welcome relief from allergy misery.

What scientists are learning is that the oil from perilla seeds is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. It not only reduces inflammation in the sinuses, but in all areas where mast cells release inflammatory histamines: the sinuses, lungs, joints, intestines and skin. So, perilla seed oil acts as an anti-inflammatory to relieve allergies, gastritis and even asthma.

That’s why I put perilla seed oil in OmegaPrime: different oils reduce inflammation in different tissues. Fish oil reduces inflammation in the arteries, flax oil in the reproductive tissues, evening primrose oil in the brain and bones and perilla seed oil in the sinuses, lungs and intestines.

Is there any solid research on these applications for perilla seed oil? Absolutely!

Studies conducted on people with asthma showed that perilla seed reduced the inflammation in the lungs, reduced the hyperactive immune system leukotrienes in the lungs and improved lung volume. At the same time, doctors measured cholesterol levels and found that perilla seed oil reduced total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides. Also, perilla seed oil raised the levels of beneficial, protective HDL cholesterol.

In the past, medications called bronchodilators were used to open the airways in asthma attacks. These medications worked pretty well in emergency situations; however, they did not stop the inflammation and they did not address the immune system’s role in allergies and asthma. Newer, stronger drugs were developed that both opened the airways and reduced airway inflammation. A milestone in medicine was achieved when a class of drugs was developed called leukotriene inhibitors.

Leukotriene inhibitors were “the missing link” in allergy and asthma treatment, as well as with irritable bowel syndrome. They reduced the hyperactivity of the immune system and provided longer relief than anti-inflammatory drugs alone. Soon, however, the dark side of these medications emerged as many patients contracted serious infections from a suppressed immune system.

Perilla seed oil was shown to be a remarkable leukotriene inhibitor that did not suppress the immune system! It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory. Perilla stabilizes the mast cells so histamines are not released. What is more, perilla seed is showing positive results in studies against human cancer cells, irritable bowel disease and depression. All without any side effects. What a marvelous discovery!

When you take TriVita OmegaPrime, you’re getting so many benefits in this physician-approved formula – including the remarkable effectiveness of perilla seed oil.

Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids

2009-02-17T05:04:00.000-08:00

Omega 3 benefits are too good to ignore if you are interested in health. You don't need to look any further than heart health, depression treatment, and pregnancy health, to see the benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids. Once you get an understanding of the importance of Omega 3 fatty acids, it won't take long to find the best Omega 3 sources. That means you can include more of these healthy foods in your daily diet.

So, what are Omega 3 fatty acids? Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFA's) are polyunsaturated fats or the so-called "good fats". These desirable fats cannot be made by the human body, so they must be obtained from foods or supplemental sources. These fats are required for normal development of the brain, eyes and nerve tissue in humans. Clinical studies show that Omega 3 benefits come primarily from DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).

What are the best Omega 3 sources?

The best Omega 3 sources are animal foods, not plant sources. For example, flaxseed is a source, but the body must convert the flax oil Omega 3 into DHA and EPA. This can be difficult for unhealthy or elderly persons. Three of the top Omega 3 sources are cold-water fish oil, grass-fed red meat and natural eggs. Omega 3 oils provide DHA and EPA in a natural form that your body can easily assimilate. No conversion is required by the body. Most of the clinical studies on Omega 3 benefits are based on fish oils from consuming fish and fish oil supplements.

TriVita's Omega Prime is the perfect fish oil supplement. Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded EFA oils -- Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. Omega prime uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process. Omega Prime also helps promote healthy development and aging by helping to protect against cognitive, cholesterol, mood and hormonal problems.

Here are some Omega 3 benefits proven by clinical studies:

Improves Heart Health
Improves Mood
Reduces Risk of Developing Alzheimer's Disease
Improves Memory and Brain Function
Reduces Allergies
Reduces Rheumatoid Arthritis Symptoms
Improves Eye Health
Reduces PMS Symptoms in Women
Improves Skin and Hair Health
Lowers Cancer Risk

If you not a fish eater, an easy way to enjoy Omega 3 benefits is by adding fish oil supplementation to your diet. TriVita's Omega Prime is the supplement I recommend. Protect yourself from health problems related to the lack of the essential fatty acids DHA and EFA. The best of the Omega 3 fatty acids sources is high-quality fish oil. However, it must be pure and totally free from contaminants, just like Omega Prime.

Ask your health professional or read as much as you can about the additional fish oil benefits. You will find that they provide an amazing array of health benefits.

Mens Health

Men need to nourish their heart, brain, skin (largest organ in the body), joints and glands.

To do this men need to ensure that they have a daily source of Essential fatty Acids. Mens health requires at least .5 grams of Omega 3 fatty acids ingested daily. That is what the American Heart Association recommends.

Men using Trivita Omegaprime ingest .5 grams of of Omega 3 Fatty Acid per tablet. Trivita OmegaPrime is the premier blend of essential fatty acids. There are four sources of essential fatty acids in Omegaprime, fish, flaxseed, evening primrose and perilla seed oils. Evening primrose and perilla seed oils are the most potent essential fatty acids for controlling inflammation which is a large determinant of mens health.

Mens Health

Essential fatty acids support mens health in two ways, by fighting inflammation and helping to develop and protect mens organs from deterioration as they age.

When inflammation is reduced it helps to lower the risk of heart attack and stroke. It eases joint pain allowing greater flexibility and men with allergies and asthma will have relief from respiratory inflammation.

Essential fatty acids nourish the brain, support its development and protect it from deterioration. This all helps boost brain functionality for improved memory, concentration and focus.

HDL (good cholesterol) is raised and triglycerides and unhealthy LDL (bad cholesterol) is lowered by essential fatty acids. Men concerned about their health and taking essential fatty acid supplements will tend to have heathier hearts and better circulation.

Hormone production is also benefitted by essential fatty acids. Mens hormones assist all body processes and help support an overall sense of both physical and mental balance and well being.

The American Heart Association recommends for mens health that men take between .5 and 1.8 grams per day of Omega 3 an essential fatty acid.

Trivita a ten year health and wellness company from Scottsdale in Arizona produces a number of mens health products as well as Omega Prime which contains .5 grams of Omega 3 as well as other essential fatty acids including Omega 6 sourced from fish, flaxseed, evening primrose and perilla seed.

With all Trivita product there is a 60 day money back guarantee. When you purchase Trivita product you can be assured that it does what Trivita says it will do because all Trivita product is independently tested.

The Trivita shop is open 24 hours so you can purchase any mens health product any time.

New Study on Omega-3 Fatty Acids

2009-02-10T08:50:00.000-08:00

A few years ago, the U.S. FDA approved a qualified health claim for animal foods that contain long-chain omega-3s:

"Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease."[1]

In 2000, FDA announced a similar qualified health claim for dietary supplements (i.e., fish or algae oil) containing EPA and DHA.

Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) continues to shed light on the benefits of making fish an important part of any diet. New research from CUMC has shown that omega-3 fatty acids decrease the amount of blockage in the arteries of laboratory mice.

"Now, a CUMC research team led by Richard J. Deckelbaum, M.D., Director of the Columbia Institute of Human Nutrition, has found that a diet rich in fish oils can prevent the accumulation of fat in the aorta, the main artery leaving the heart. The beneficial actions of fish oil that block cholesterol buildup in arteries are even found at high fat intakes.
The study was conducted in three separate populations of mice: one that was fed a balanced diet, one that was fed a diet resembling a 'Western' diet high in saturated fat, and a third that was fed a high fish fat diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids."[2]

They found that this effect was related to the ability of omega-3s to markedly decrease levels of a molecule called lipoprotein lipase, which – in mice and humans alike – traps LDL in artery walls.

This discovery could help explain the documented heart-health benefits of higher-than-average fish and omega-3 intake.[3]

Dr. Deckelbaum advises those interested in increasing omega-3 intakes to either eat more fatty cold water fish or take fish oil supplements (CUMC 2009). One such supplement that I promote is TriVita's Omega Prime.

CUMC's research will likely prove to be important as a new mechanism which helps explain benefits of omega-3 fatty acids on heart health.

When doctors talk about the two types of cholesterol, LDL and HDL, they are really talking about different lipoprotein "packages" in which cholesterol is carried.

My understanding on LDL and HDL is the same as in an article by VitalChoice: "The body uses high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) to remove cholesterol from the blood, and it uses various kinds of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) to carry cholesterol through the blood."[3]

Although I'm not a doctor, or health professional, I did have high cholesterol levels, so I asked my doctor to explain it to me. To learn more about LDL and HDL, and their effects on your health, read this article by VitalChoice (http://newsletter.vitalchoice.com/e_article001342171.cfm?x=bf6PgS6,b6hFv6bq).

TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that can get you your daily requirements of omega-3 fatty acids. If you don't like fish, Omega Prime can be a great addition to your diet. Omega-3 fatty acids are recommended by doctors and health professionals, so make sure you're getting your recommended daily requirement.

Omega Prime\'s Benefits - Omega-3

2009-02-09T09:51:00.000-08:00

I've visited many sites on the Internet claiming that "eating one to two servings of fish a week could reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack by a third or more." I totally agree with everything I've read regarding the "benefits" of eating foods high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Doctors have long recognized that the unsaturated fats in fish, called omega-3 fatty acids, appear to reduce your risk of dying of heart disease. As mentioned in my previous post, the American Heart Association has recommended that people eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids at least twice a week.

Although the omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish are healthy, some people are still concerned about mercury or other contaminants in fish. As a result, they are more concerned about the bad outweighing its heart-healthy benefits. With that said, the benefits of eating fish usually outweigh the possible risks of exposure to contaminants. Find out how to balance these concerns with adding a healthy amount of fish to your diet.

According to experts, fatty fish, such as salmon, herring, and to a lesser extent tuna, contain the most omega-3 fatty acids. They provide the most benefits, but many types of seafood contain small amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. Most freshwater fish have less omega-3 fatty acids than do fatty fish from the sea. Some varieties of trout have relatively high levels of omega-3 fatty acids.

My personal favorite is salmon, which has always been touted as the fish with the highest amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Believe it or not, one of the best pieces of salmon I've eaten came from Chili's. (Although, I probably should have stayed away from their molten).

The evidence is stronger for the benefits of eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids compared with using supplements. However, people who have heart disease may benefit from supplements of omega-3 fatty acids and should discuss this with their doctors.

TriVita`s Chief Science Officer Brazos Minshew Explains

Dementia: The Best Hope is Prevention

Who am I? Whatever the answer, that's our "identity." One definition of identity is: a set of unique characteristics belonging, for life, to one individual. Another expert defines identity as the total accumulation of all life experiences, built one upon the other, up until this present moment. It's as if we are an unfinished tower building, with each new story of life experiences being built upon the story below it.

Dementia steals all this - our memories of the past, our ability to reason in the present and our ability to plan for the future. In essence, dementia robs us of our identity.

Vascular dementia

This is the most common cause of dementia among younger people. It may be caused by poor circulation from vascular inflammation, high cholesterol, viral and other infections, "mini-strokes," medications, drug and alcohol abuse, or a few other rare conditions related to excessive pressure in the head.

Poor circulation in the brain is directly linked to elevated levels of homocysteine in the blood. In some people, high homocysteine ignites LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol). Thousands of fiery, burning LDL particles pierce the protective lining of the blood vessels and cause the whole artery to inflame. As the inflammation builds, it can block circulation, and thereby starve to death the area of the brain served by the inflamed blood vessel. You can help reduce LDL inflammation by lowering your homocysteine levels with HCY Guard. You can also increase your protective HDL cholesterol through daily exercise and OmegaPrime.

"Mini-strokes" are associated with nutrient deficiency and inflammation. First, nutrient deficiency causes the blood vessels of the brain to weaken. Then, inflammatory protein slices though the delicate lining in the blood vessels until they cut completely through and a small hemorrhage develops. Though this may quickly seal, tiny clots may form on the scar. These clots break off and block blood flow in random areas throughout the brain. You can toughen up the blood vessels by increasing Vitamin C intake. Vitamin C creates collagen which in turn creates resilient blood vessels that are stroke-resistant.

Take Control of Your Health

Practice the 10 Essentials for Health and Wellness; focus on sleep, diet and exercise. Practice volunteering and philanthropy. Never stop learning: language, music and math – everything helps! Protect yourself against head injuries as trauma accumulates over time. Don't smoke or use tobacco. Avoid air, water, food and electromagnetic pollution.

Help reduce homocysteine with HCY Guard Help deter brain erosion with Vitamin B-12 and OmegaPrime Focus on "brain-specific" antioxidants in Optima4.

AHA Recommends Omega- Fatty Acids

2009-02-06T06:11:00.000-08:00

The American Heart Association recommends Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease.

The AHA also recommends eating tofu and other forms of soybeans, canola, walnut and flaxseed, and their oils. These contain alpha-linolenic acid (LNA), which can become omega-3 fatty acid in the body. The extent of this modification is modest and controversial, however. More studies are needed to show a cause-and-effect relationship between alpha-linolenic acid and heart disease.

"Epidemiologic and clinical trials have shown that omega-3 fatty acids reduce CVD incidence. Large-scale epidemiologic studies suggest that people at risk for coronary heart disease benefit from consuming omega-3 fatty acids from plants and marine sources." [1]

"Increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake through foods is preferable. However, coronary artery disease patients may not be able to get enough omega-3 by diet alone. These people may want to talk to their doctor about taking a supplement. Supplements also could help people with high triglycerides, who need even larger doses. The availability of high-quality omega-3 fatty acid supplements, free of contaminants, is an important prerequisite to their use." [1]

If you're not into eating fish or some of the other foods high in Omega-3 fatty acids, TriVita's Omega Prime may be a supplement you can take to get your daily requirement of Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega Prime is free of mercury/contaminant free fish oil, which is the result of an exclusive 10 stage process to ensure its purity, potency and quality (plus a higher level of Vitamin E for maximizing the fish oil's potency).

Experiment Shows Importance of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

2009-02-04T04:09:00.000-08:00

The importance of omega-3 fatty acids, as part of your diet, are becoming more prevalent as more and more studies begin to surface. Diets typical of modern America - ones high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3s - are linked to higher risks of cancer, diabetes, and immunity disorders.

Taking a daily omega-3 supplement, and lowering your omega-6 intake, is even more critical after seeing the effects of an experiment done by University of British Columbia.

Lab studies indicate that the associations between high omega-6 intake and low omega-3, reflects real influences that various patterns of omega-3 and omega-6 fat intake exert over the risks of major chronic diseases.

Both of omega-6 and omega-3, fatty acids are essential to your health. Each one plays a different but critical role in inflammation, metabolism, and vascular health. While high omega-6 intake is not bad, it's the omega-imbalance, especially low omega-3 intake that causes the most damage.

In the experiment,

"pediatric researchers fed one of four milk formulas to groups of infant pigs, to simulate the effects of different maternal intakes of omega-3 and omega-6 fats (Novak EM et al. 2008).
In all cases, the piglets’ formulas contain only short-chain omega-3s (ALA) and omega-6s (LA).

The body must first convert these short-chain forms to long-chain omega-3s (DHA and EPA) and omega-6s (AA) before they can be used to build brain cells (neurons) and promote connections between brain cells (dendrites).

Fish fat and oil are the only significant food sources of the long-chain omega-3s (DHA and EPA) essential to human health.

Most of omega-3 fat in most Americans’ diets is the short-chain, plant-source omega-3 called ALA, small amounts of which occur in leafy greens, flaxseed/oil, walnuts, grass-fed meats and poultry, and canola oil.

The results affirmed the indications of prior research, showing that the imbalanced Contemporary diet, which was very high in omega-6 ALA, reduced brain levels of omega-3 DHA and yielded high levels of long-chain omega-6s in the brain."

If you're looking to incorporate more omega-3-fatty acids into your diet, fish is your best bet. The purest choice fish include canned sardines or mackerel, wild Alaskan salmon and sablefish, and small, troll-caught tuna.

If you're not a fish eater, TriVita's Omega Prime is a supplement that gives you the needed omega-3 fatty acid to maintain a healthy omega-3 balance.

TriVita's Omega Prime contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) oils – Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed. It also uses only contaminant-free fish oil that has undergone a 10 stage distilling process.

Omega Prime's EFAs support our wellness in so many ways, starting with helping to reduce runaway inflammation. Many of us don't realize this, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.

Importance of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

2009-02-02T07:16:00.000-08:00

Most of us have heard about how fats are bad for us -- but this isn't always the case. Some fats are very good for our ongoing well being. Two of these fats are Omega-3 and Omega-6. Not only are they good for us, they're actually indispensible, which is why they are also called Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other marine life such as algae and krill, certain plants (including purslane), and nut oils.

Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development.

Extensive research indicates that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent risk factors associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. These essential fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function.

Reduce Cardiovascular Inflammation -- which lowers the risks of heart disease, heart attack and stroke
Lessen Joint Inflammation -- which eases joint pain & inflammation for increased flexibility
Relieve Respiratory Inflammation – which lessens any inflammation-related to allergies and asthma.

Omega Prime

2009-01-29T22:50:00.000-08:00

Your body is made up of oils and fats. The cell structure and membranes of every cell is dependant on these substances; your brain in particular. Your body also refreshes itself on a regular bases - meaning that what you eat to give your body as building blocks will become part of your cells from a few days to a month.

When we give our body high quality building materials, we get strong, healthy cells, which in turn makes us stronger, more energetic, more resilient to stress, and overall a more healthy person. One of those key building blocks is omega fatty acids.

Would you really like to have cells made out of that fast food greasy fat, or out of solid healthy oil like from olive oil or fish oil? Your body will use what it gets, and it's better to find healthy and quality sources for those nutrients.

Trivita produces an amazing little package of these essential fatty acids all in one capsule. It doesn't taste bad or leave a fishy flavor in your mouth like some cheap versions of Omega supplements. Omega Prime by Trivita "contains a premier and unique blend of four different types of the most highly regarded EFA oils -- Fish, Flaxseed, Evening Primrose and Perilla Seed" (from Trivita product website.) It's often hard to get good quality oils in our daily diet, but this powerhouse will help you get that dose of good oils.

Give Trivita's Omega Prime a try and see if it makes you feel more healthy.
