ENDUROMEGA LIQUID 500ML

• Concentrated, no-capsule formula
• Supports overall health
• Reduces aches and soreness
• Pure essential fatty acid

   

  In multiple ways, everyone benefits from the essential omega-3 fatty acids that fish provide. And for those who have difficulty swallowing pills, or for those who want a higher dose of omega-3’s without having to take more capsules, Liquid EndurOmega is for you! 

• Each teaspoon of Liquid EndurOmega supplies a total of 1400mg of total omega-3 fatty acids, nearly 2.5 times the amount found in a 2-capsule dose of EndurOmega in capsules. (EPA =740mg DHA =460 mg per 5 ml )

  And just like EndurOmega in capsule form, Liquid EndurOmega contains molecularly distilled fish oil and is tested via third-party independent laboratories to guarantee potency and purity. Add to your protein shakes or take it straight… with a light natural lemon flavor added, the taste of Liquid EndurOmega is very mild and easy to swallow—no overwhelming fishy taste at all

Highly Refined and Concentrated Omega-3 Fish Oil – Derived from anchovy, sardine, and mackerel, supplying the essential fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

Proprietary Antioxidant Blend (consisting of natural tocopherols, rosemary extract, and ascorbyl palmitate) – Tocopherols are components of vitamin E; rosemary extract is derived from Salvia rosmarinus); ascorbyl palmitate is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C.

Natural Lemon Flavor

1/2 to 1 teaspoon twice daily.

DO I NEED TO REFRIGERATE AFTER OPENING?

You can, but it’s not necessary, thanks to the Proprietary Antioxidant Blend that the product contains to maintain stability and potency. Store in a cool, dry place, and away from direct sunlight. If you decide to refrigerate the product, a small amount of harmless thickening may occur due to the cooler temperatures.

Absolutely not, though the mainstream media would have us believe otherwise, with the blitz of alarming headlines and news stories regarding study results published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute July 2013 issue [1]. We remain convinced that consuming omega-3 fatty acids benefits overall health, including prostate health, and an overwhelming body of research over the years confirms it.

The media frenzy concerning fish and fish oil supplementation was sparked by the SELECT study (Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial), which claims a link between higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood - specifically DHA, EPA, and DPA (all found in EndurOmega) - and an increased risk of prostate cancer

However, the following flaws in the study invalidate the findings:

1) The SELECT study was designed to review vitamin E and selenium intake - not fish oil - on prostate cancer risk.

2) This study did not monitor whether the male subjects ate fish or took fish oil supplements. It is not possible to link blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids and prostate cancer if there is no data to confirm how much fish or fish oil supplements, if any, were consumed.

3) The results were based solely on only one blood sample, taken very early in the study, to check for fatty acid levels in the blood. This particular test only indicates what a person ate over the course of a few hours; it has no bearing on medium-to-long-term consumption and certainly not over a six-year period as was the case with this study. Because blood levels of fatty acids rapidly change with short-term dietary alterations, it's misleading to flat-out wrong to link plasma omega-3 levels from a single blood test with an increased risk of prostate cancer.

4) Even if the results of this single blood test are taken into account, the differences are too minuscule to draw any meaningful conclusions. The men who had omega-3 blood levels of 4.48% were less likely to have prostate cancer, while those with a fractional 0.18% increase (4.66%) had astronomically higher rates - 44% greater risk of low-grade prostate cancer and a 71% increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer. Dr. Peter Bongiorno states, "The authors made a terrific leap by suggesting that this infinitesimally small number was enough to somehow promote cancer. The article also gave no information about how the fish oils could have possibly caused the cancer." [2]

5) Other factors that contribute to cancer were never taken into account! Over 50% of the men in the study smoked, nearly 65% consumed alcohol regularly, and a whopping 80% were obese. How these vitally important factors could be overlooked or disregarded is astonishing.

Omega-3 fatty acids BENEFIT prostate health!

One study that included nearly 50,000 men showed that increased levels of EPA and DHA - the two fatty acids found primarily in fish and fish oil supplements - was correlated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer [3].

A study from Harvard that included more than 293,000 men concluded that a significantly lower rate of fatal prostate cancer was associated with increased omega-3 fatty acid intake [4].

A 2010 meta-analysis of over 15,000 men found a 63% reduction in prostate cancer death rates in those with higher fish consumption [5].

A study involving 6,300 Swedish men over a 30-year period showed that those who didn't eat fish had a 200% - 300% higher rate of prostate cancer as compared to the men who consumed large amounts of fish [6].

Summary

After evaluating this particular study and how the results were obtained, it is simply not rational to implicate omega-3's as being a cause for prostate cancer, especially given the abundance of existing and undeniably more credible research showing that omega-3's positively influence prostate health. We adamantly don't believe the misleading and inaccurate media hype and neither should you. The bottom line is that consumption of omega-3 fatty acids from fish or fish oil supplements (EndurOmega) benefit numerous areas of overall health, including prostate health.
