Why is Omega 3 so important for us?

Omega 3 keeps our cells healthy and fights inflammation. A healthy cell needs to be flexible and permeable to let nutrients in and toxins out. An ideal ratio is 1:1 (1 Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratio). However, with a western diet high in Omega 6 the ratio gets more and more unbalanced. Omega 3 reduces inflammation and Omega-6 triggers inflammation. And if Omega-6 is dominating in your body, your cells get more stiff and impermeable and toxins stay in the cells and less nutrients get in. On top chronic inflammations can arise in the body.

1,5g EPA and DHA per day are important for a normal heart, brain and immune system function. Pregnant women have an even higher need.

Omega-3 rich diet

Integrate good oils like sesame, avocado, flaxseed and olive oil in your daily diet and eat nuts and seeds, such as flaxseed, chia seeds, and walnuts and fish such as sardines and mackerel. Leave away refined oils and reduce animal products as they are source of omega-6. However, an omega 3 rich diet is not enough to fill up the required levels of DHA and EPA.

What quality do you need to look at OMega-3 supplements?

The totox level stands for the oxidation level of the oil. The Totox level should be below 10. If the oil is oxidated it can cause inflammation in the body and do more harm than good.

The Eqology oil I work with has a totox level of 4 and is completely free of heavy metals. EQ uses fish rests from the industry and repurposes it for high quality omega 3 oil. It gets blended with a very pure olive oil which raises the bioavailability of the oil even further. The taste is fresh (not fishy at all) with a natural lemon or orange flavor. It’s also great for kids. Our whole family takes it.

Did you know that..

…a fishy smell or taste of fish oil or algae capsules is a sign that the oil is rancid?
…fish or algae oil gets heated up to be pressed into capsules which leads to oxidation and the oil losing its anti-inflammatory properties?

The concept:

You test your omega 6 versus omega 3 ratio now and then again 5 months later. If after 5 months you didn’t reach an omega 6 versus omega 3 ratio of 5:1 or below, Eqology refunds you completely. They guarantee this result for your health. You get 2x Arctic oil bottles in the first month and then every month 1 bottle. In the first month you take 20 ml and then you reduce to 10 ml a day.

Test your Omega 3 Level nOW

Before you wildly supplement I always suggest to test your level to know the right dosage for your body’s needs. Eqology offers a high quality Omega 3 oil and an easy way to test your Omega 3 with a simple self test which you send to an independent laboratory.

You get your FIRST TEST FOR FREE from me and the second one from Eqology!
