The label is changed. it is still under the founder, S. Holt.MD
Dr. Holt’s formulas are comprehensive for specific health conditions and they provide quality, purity and cost advantage that is backed by medical science.
new name is Fish Oil Naturally/clinical EPA/DHA forte.BiOmega-3 is a high quality, enteric-coated fish oil concentrate that contains the active omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), stabilized with natural vitamin E. Three enteric-coated capsules of BiOmega-3 deliver 1500 mg of fish oil supplying 450mg of EPA and 300mg of DHA. Natural vitamin E stabilizes the active omega-3 fatty acids by inhibiting lipid peroxidation. The product is formulated to enhance the absorption of the active omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA) without fishy aftertaste or burps.
Features and Benefits
In spite of the benefits of fish oil, patient compliance may be low as a consequence of poor palatability of fish oil, halitosis and gastrointestinal upset, especially at high dosage. BiOmega-3 improves patient acceptability by reducing unpleasant gastrointestinal upset and bad breath
Improved absorption of fatty acids due to enteric coating allows administration of lesser amounts of fish oil to produce an effect (Belluzzi et al 1996). This provides a cost advantage as compared to non-enteric-coated products.
Liquid fish oil preparations are often unstable due to rapid lipid peroxidation with exposure to air. Liquid fish oils do not have a pleasant taste or odor.
3 enteric-coated softgels provide high potency EPA(500 mg) and DHA ( 300 mg) with excellent patient response and superior absorption.
BiOmega - 3 is available with competitive cost, professional margins for successful patient compliance, convenience and palatability.*
Scientific Literature
There exists excellent scientific documentation of benefits: Fish oils and the long chain omega-3 fatty acids are one of the best-documented products for nutritional support. Omega-3 fatty acids, derived from fish oil, are useful in the promotion of cardiovascular health and have documented anti-inflammatory effects. Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA, DHA) provide nutritional support for cardiovascular, joint, immune and central nervous systems. Omega-3 fatty acids are known to be precursors of so-called Series Eicosanoids, (prostaglandins, prostacyclin and leukotrienes), which are anti-inflammatory, anti-thrombotic (prevent clots), and lower blood pressure (Turini et al 1994). Western diets tend to be much too high in saturated fat and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, and deficient in omega-3 fatty acids.
