Who’s OmegaAdvance for?

• Target audience is wide, and encompasses those:
  • Wanting to support visual health
  • Wanting to support heart health, according to some studies
  • Wanting to help support normal blood sugar metabolism
  • Possibly those wanting to maintain cognitive health with age

What are EPA and DHA ?

• EPA and DHA are long-chain fatty acids found in fatty fish that play important roles in health
  
  • EPA helps maintain balance of pro- & anti-inflammatory compounds
    
  • DHA is the major structural fatty acid in retinal & brain cell membranes
    
  • EPA & DHA help keep cell membranes flexible for healthy function

How do omega-3s work?

• Research has shown that they:
  
  • Promote regular heart beat rhythm
    
  • Help maintain healthy triglyceride levels
    
  • May slow the growth rate of plaque in blood vessels
    
  • Promote a less “inflammatory” environment (inflammation is a factor in CVD & likely AMD as well)
    
  • Help protect photoreceptor cells (rods & cones)

What distinguishes OmegaAdvance from other omega-3 products?

  • Rigorously tested for heavy metals (including mercury and arsenic) and marine contaminants
    
  • Sourced from cold, pristine, deep waters off South America where there are significantly less environmental impurities
    
  • Undergoes multiple tests to ensure stability and molecular distillation, a purification process that concentrates omega-3s and helps eliminate contaminants
    
• Very concentrated
  
• Provides 1.5 mg of lutein

• Natural lemon scent – no fishy odor

  • 2 softgels offer flexibility to consumers with different fish-consumption habits; those who eat cold water fish 1-2 times weekly can take 1 softgel daily

Are there any contraindications for OmegaAdvance?

• Taking OmegaAdvance with anticoagulants (such as Coumadin): While the level of EPA /DHA in OmegaAdvance is unlikely to cause any increased bleeding problems in people taking those medication, it is best for those taking anticoagulants to check with their physician
