Concept

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are nutrients required for many key functions in the human body, including cell growth, brain development, muscle activity, immune function, joint health, and many others.* They are an essential part of cell membranes. While some fatty acids can be produced inside the body, “essential” fatty acids cannot be produced by our bodies; therefore, we rely on the food we eat to supply these important nutrients.

The most common of the essential fatty acids are omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids. Modern science suggests that for optimal health, humans should consume a one-to-one ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids. Unfortunately, due to the abundance of omega-6 fatty acids in vegetable oils and our increasing consumption of fried and fatty foods, a typical Western diet includes omega-6 fatty acids in a ratio as high as 20 to 1! While our diets must include some omega-6 fatty acids as essential nutrients for life, the disproportionate consumption of omega-6 fatty acids and other unhealthy hydrogenated or trans fats has been linked to poor health. Studies also link low intake of omega-3 fatty acids to reduced mood and cognitive function.

Conversely, there is an enormous body of scientific evidence supporting the health benefits of increasing the dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids. Studies have shown that increasing omega-3 fatty acid consumption has a positive effect on cardiovascular health and brain function, and promotes healthy immune function. Increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids has also been shown to have a positive impact on joint health and mobility, and on skin health.

Restoring the balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is an important step in keeping your body healthy. This can be done by decreasing your intake of unhealthy foods high in omega-6 fatty acids and increasing your intake of foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Fish is an excellent source of dietary omega-3 fatty acids, but omega3s can also be found in canola oil and the oils of some nuts and seeds. One serving of xEO Mega provides 900 milligrams of pure, micro-filtered marine lipids with 300 mg of EPA, 300 mg of DHA, and 65 mg of other omega-3s. Added to this is 200 mg of plant-based, omega-3 rich, Ahiflower seed oil, along with 50 mg of pomegranate seed oil.

FAQ

Q: Does xEO Mega need to be refrigerated?
A: xEO Mega is designed to be stable at room temperature throughout its shelf life. However, refrigeration is recommended to extend shelf life or to maximize the potency of the fragile omega-3 fatty acids.

Q: Does xEO Mega need to be taken with food?
A: xEO Mega should always be taken immediately before or right at the beginning of a full meal.

Q: Is there a vegetarian version of xEO Mega (no fish)?
A: vEO Mega is available for those who do not wish to consume any animal-sourced ingredients.

Q: Can my kids take xEO Mega instead of the IQ Mega?
A: xEO Mega is safe for children and the dose can be cut in half. However, IQ Mega provides a higher dose of omega-3 fatty acids, which are critically important for the development years. For any questions please consult your child’s pediatrician.

Q: If I take the IQ Mega, do I need to take xEO Mega too?
A: No, one or the other should be sufficient.

Q: What fish is utilized in the marine omega blend and what is the country of origin?
A: Though the fishing ground may vary, the marine omega blend comes primarily from anchovy, sardine, and mackerel from the waters off the coast of Norway.

Q: Why do I need the marine and land omega blends?
A: Each provides reliable and consistent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. The body can convert ALA and SDA (plant based) into EPA and DHA; however, this conversion is variable among different individuals. EPA and DHA are extremely important to every cell in our body, and marine based oils deliver a concentrated source of these important omega-3 fatty acids. With xEO Mega you get the benefits of both land and sea, with its multi-targeted approach to improving the internal balance of these vital nutrients.
