Coromega is a dietary supplement with ingredients that include 650 mg Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids, 350 mg EPA and 230 mg DHA. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, meaning that your body requires them, but cannot synthesize them and must receive them from dietary sources. DHA and EPA are types of omega-3 fatty acids that are found in cold water fish or seaweed. Rather than capsules, Coromega Omega3 Squeeze™ comes in a convenient squeeze pack which supplies a full daily dose of omega-3 in one squeeze.
Identification
Coromega uses high quality fish oil derived from anchovies and sardines. Impurities are removed with molecular distillation, a process that the manufacturers state purifies and "virtually eliminates heavy metals and other environmental contaminants such as PCBs". Coromega is also third-party tested for purity ensuring it complies with strict limits. Stevia, a natural sweetener, and fruit flavors, such as orange and lemon-line, are added to disguise or eliminate any fishy aftertaste.
Significance
Researchers at the University of Minnesota found that Coromega was much better absorbed than leading gelatin capsules containing fish oil. Coromega's website brags that it is clinically proven to be 300 percent better absorbed than softgel pills. Coromega is highly bioavailable and highly tolerable with subjects reporting no problems with the Coromega compared to reports of fishy-tasting burps when taking capsules.
Considerations
The processing of Coromega is done at their production facility in Vista, California. Its packaging is specially designed to protect the delicate fish oils from oxygen and light, guaranteeing freshness and potency. They even go so far as to guarantee the DHA & EPA content of each packet. It is available in 7-day packs, as well as 30- and 90-day packs.
Benefits
Omega-3 fatty acids help lower the risk of heart disease. DHA is essential for the proper functioning of your adult brain. If you have coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, you can benefit from increasing your intake of EPA. Most people in the Western world do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids, DHA or EPA in their diets alone. Taking a supplement that is as bioavailable as Coromega could improve your body's supplies.
Warning
Taking fish oil supplements may cause minor side effects, such as loose stools and abdominal discomfort. If you are taking certain prescriptions, particularly blood thinners or blood pressure medications, talk to your doctor before taking fish oil. If you have any questions or concerns, as always, consult with your health-care provider.
