Arctic Pure™ for Cardiovascular Health and General Well-Being!

Essential fatty acids are crucial for health - as much so as daily vitamins and minerals. And fish oil is one of the best sources.

Consumption of omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. FDA evaluated the data and determined that, although there is scientific evidence supporting the claim, the evidence is not conclusive.

EFA's: Healthy Fats

Essential fatty acids (EFA's) support an amazing variety of cellular processes. In addition to their cardiovascular benefits, they maintain cell wall and membrane integrity, generate energy, produce hormones, and support brain, nerve and eye function. yet too many people today eat diets that are high in saturated or hydrogenated fats, but low in healthy fats - essential fatty acids.

ArcticPure soft gels are an excellent source of EFA's, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and gamma linolenic acid (GLA).

ArcticPure DHA™

DHA is an omega-3 long-chain fatty acid that is the primary building block of the brain and retina. The brain is 60% fat, and DHA is the most abundant fatty acid in the brain, comprising 25-35%. DHA is found in even greater concentrations - 50-60% - in the retina.

DHA is crucial for infant development, especially in the rapid cerebral and eye development that occurs during pregnancy and the first few months after birth. It is an important nutrient for pregnant women and nursing mothers.

DHA also had been associated with optimal memory function, visual acuity, and a positive mental state. it is an integral component of all membranes with electrical activity, including brain and nerve cells.

ArcticPure DHA contains 275 mg of DHA in each strawberry-flavored soft gel.

Stabilized for Freshness

ArcticPure oils are enhanced with antioxidants such as ascorbyl palmitate, Vitamin E and rosemary oil, for extended shelf life. Every batch is extensively tested to be sure it is free of environmental contaminants. And ArcticPure oils contain natural fruit flavors, so there is no fishy taste!
