Orthomega
by Ortho Molecular Products The high ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids in the American diet (average 19:1) is caused by the overabundance of omega-6 fatty acids in our daily intake. Prior to 1900, the average American had an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of approximately 4:1. The increased ratio has impacted overall vascular health during the late 20th century. Without increasing levels of omega-3 fatty acids, it is nearly impossible to reestablish healthy omega-6 to omega-3 ratios. Several advantages are found in Ortho Molecular's Orthomega: 1. Derivatives of the essential fatty acid linolenic acid, EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids found abundantly in fish oil.
2. Ortho Molecular uses all-natural Scandinavian fish oil without the fishy taste.
3. Burp-Free. Many complain of burping after taking other fish oils. Orthomega is burp-free for nearly everyone.
4. Our Orthomega meets the strictest international trade criteria for trace heavy metal and pesticide concentrations. One soft gel contains: EPA 420 mg, DHA 300 mg.
