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