Results of a
test of increasing Omega 3 in children
News story from the
BBC about a research project of increasing Omega-3 in children’s diets
through supplements.
“The results have not yet been published, but they are expected to show
a statistically significant improvement in school performance in the
group of children given Omega 3 supplements. This does not mean that
every child benefited from the treatment - many did not. But according
to Portwood, about 40% of children showed some clear improvement.”
Scientific research shows that this traditional
health supplement remains one of the best natural sources of vitamins A
and D, which promote good skin, hair, nails and bones. It also supplies
essential Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids that help to maintain
flexible joints.
Ultra purified by the unique Ocean Gold® method.
INGREDIENTS:
Vitamins A, D and E, with Omega-3 (EPA & DHA), Pure Cod Liver Oil,
Gelatin and Glycerin

“This document presents guidelines for reducing the risk of
cardiovascular disease by dietary and other lifestyle
practices.”
“Consumption of 1 fatty fish meal per day (or alternatively, a
fish oil supplement) could result in an omega-3 fatty acid
intake (ie, EPA and DHA) of 900 mg/d, an amount shown to
beneficially affect coronary heart disease mortality rates in
patients with coronary disease.”

FDA
qualified health claims for Omega 3
From September 8, 2004, FDA Announces Qualified Health Claims
for Omega-3 Fatty Acids press release.
“The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today announced the
availability of a qualified health claim for reduced risk of
coronary heart disease (CHD) on conventional foods that contain
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
omega-3 fatty acids.
Typically, EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids are contained in oily
fish, such as salmon, lake trout, tuna and herring. These fatty
acids are not essential to the diet; however, scientific
evidence indicates that these fatty acids may be beneficial in
reducing CHD (Coronary heart disease)”
