Please watch the Video above as it has all the information on why we are recommending you are taking Omega – 3 Fatty acids.
Simply stated, Advcoare’s OmegaPlex was one of two products recommended on the Dr. Oz show that passed the Consumer Lab tests.

As most of you know, Get You In Shape has partnered with Advocare nutritional supplements to help our clients look, feel, and perform better. With thousands of products and company’s on the market, we choose Advocare because of the science and because of who freely endorsers the products. We are not going to go into”why we recommend Advocare” as we have had blog posts in the past that explain that. We going to go into why we recommend Omega – 3 Fatty Acids and how you can benefit from them.

As you saw from the Dr. Oz Video, Dr. Oz thinks we can not live without Omega 3’s. Dr. Oz say’s it is ” THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO AS A SUPPLEMENT.”

You can ask your Get You In Shape trainer if you want to get a bottle of OmegaPlex or contact us but below is more information on the consumer lab report and about the Omega 3 Fatty Acids we recommend and why.

• Don’t be fooled by the amount of “fish oil” on the front of the label. Instead, look for the amounts of EPA and DHA listed on the back of the bottle.
• You’ll need at least 500 mg per dose of the omega-3s EPA and DHA. You’ll need a higher daily amount to treat some conditions; to avoid having to take too many softgels, pick a liquid or a product with a higher concentration of omega-3s.
• Look out for oils that have gone rancid (this is hard to tell before you buy) or will go rancid (near their “best by” date). If you choose a bottled oil, use it up within two to three weeks of opening and always close tight and refrigerate.
• You don’t have to pay a lot. There are good omega-3 oil supplements on the market for as little 5 or 6 cents per 500 mg of omega-3.
• Of the products tested, Life Extension’s Super Omega and AdvoCare Omegaplex Omega-3s are among those that passed ConsumerLab.com’s tests.

I found a great article by Dr. Robert Hackman, Nutrition Researcher at UC Davis.

It seems that hardly a week goes by without new information being released regarding the positive health benefits of regularly consuming omega-3 essential fatty acids.

The first study we want to bring to your attention demonstrated that science behind the cardiovascular health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids supports recommended daily levels of 500 mg, according to a recent  review. “Compelling evidence” from studies involving almost 40,000 participants supports daily EPA plus DHA intakes of at least 500 mg per day for healthy individuals, while people with known heart disease or heart failure should aim for up to 1,000 mg daily, according to a review published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

“This isn’t just hype; we now have tremendous and compelling evidence from very large studies, some dating back 20 and 30 years, that demonstrate the protective benefits of omega-3 fish oil in multiple aspects of preventive cardiology,” said Carl Lavie, lead author of the review and medical director of Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention at the Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans.

Dr Lavie and his co-workers noted that the most compelling evidence for the cardiovascular benefits of the fatty acids came from four randomised controlled trials with EPA and DHA, which involved around 40,000 participants. Following evaluation of evidence from retrospective epidemiologic studies and from large randomised controlled trials, the reviewers recommended that healthy individuals should consume 500 mg daily of omega-3 fish oil containing EPA and DHA, while people with known heart disease or heart failure aim for between 800 and 1,000 mg per day.

“Further studies are needed to determine optimal dosing and the relative ratio of DHA and EPA omega-3 PUFA that provides maximal cardioprotection in those at risk of CV disease as well in the treatment of atherosclerotic, arrhythmic, and primary myocardial disorders,” concluded the researchers.

The next study we’d like to refer you to concerns the role of omega-3?s in weight management.

In this current study, 124 adults were enrolled: 21 had a healthy weight, 40 were overweight, and 63 were obese. Blood samples were taken from all the participants after they had fasted for at least ten hours. The researchers noted a relationship between the levels of total omega-3 in the blood as well as blood levels of DHA and EPA with body mass index (BMI), waist size, and hip circumference.

Overall, the obese participants had omega-3 levels that were nearly 1 percent lower than those in the healthy-weight volunteers, 4.53 percent versus 5.25 percent. When the study participants were classified according to their omega-3 levels alone, the researchers noted that higher omega-3 levels were associated with a smaller waist, lower hip size, and a healthier BMI.

Someone who has taken omega-3 supplements in the past, but is looking for a superior source

Is the fish oil in OmegaPlex ® Omega-3 Fatty Acid supplement pharmaceutical grade?

There is no commonly accepted “pharmaceutical grade” criterion for marine lipids. Since companies use various methods for quality testing and for reporting results, current product labeling is inconsistent across the industry. However, the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), comprised of a group of dietary supplement industry manufacturers, has drafted a voluntary monograph that has helped establish testing protocols and stringent standards as indicators of quality omega-3 fatty acid supplements.

OmegaPlex is of excellent quality and purity, and the values are consistent with the CRN voluntary monograph values. Furthermore, the marine oils used in OmegaPlex are tested to ensure the absence of heavy metals, pesticides and other potential contaminants.
