Fish Oil

Where does fish oil come from?

Look for fish oil that’s sustainably wild-caught. Wild Alaskan Salmon is an ocean-friendly and sound choice, because it’s from pristine Alaskan waters that are home to one of the world’s most well-managed fishing programs. In fact, sustainable salmon fishing is state law in Alaska, and is enforced by Alaska Wildlife Troopers. Other types of oils may not put sustainability first, including forage fish oil from anchovies and sardines (an essential part of the marine food web that is thoughtlessly overfished), krill oil (vital food for larger marine animals), and farmed fish (which leads to water pollution and disease infestations).

What does Omega-3 do?

Omega-3 fatty acids are good fats that offer many benefits when included as part of your diet. For pregnant and breastfeeding women, key Omega-3s EPA and DHA function to support baby’s brain health and visual development.^* In addition, New Chapter’s Wholemega Whole Fish Oil supplement has been clinically shown to retain healthy triglyceride levels—a studied marker of heart health. Triglycerides are a form of stored fat found in the bloodstream and body tissues. Keeping these levels in a healthy range is important for helping to support the cardiovascular system.

What are fish oil supplements good for?

The Omega fatty acids in fish are so important for human health that experts recommend having 2-3 servings of fish every week, particularly fatty, cold-water fish such as Wild Alaskan Salmon. Fish oil supplements that contain a balanced full-spectrum of 17 Omegas give you the equivalent of the whole food. For those who do not prefer eating fish, fish oil supplements are a great alternative to add these good fats to your diet. In fact, taking Wholemega every day for a week (2-gram daily serving) provides the equivalent Omegas of 3 servings of Wild Alaskan Salmon—right on target.
