You should strive for a total daily intake of 1000mg* of omega-3 EPA+DHA. You can achieve this by enjoying 3 to 4 servings of fatty fish per week, 3 to 5 standard fish oil capsules a day, or a combination of both. Take these steps, then test your blood again in a few months. We think you’ll be pleased with the results! *Our recommendation is based on guidance from the scientific bodies with the greatest expertise in this area – the UN World Health Organization (WHO), the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL), and the American Heart Association (AHA): WHO recommends 250mg to 500mg of omega-3 EPA+DHA per day. ISSFAL recommends 500mg to 650mg of omega-3 EPA+DHA per day. AHA advises 1000mg of omega-3 EPA+DHA per day for heart patients, and 2000mg to 4000mg grams per day to lower high blood triglyceride levels. (AHA makes no omega-3 intake recommendation for healthy people, advising them to eat at least two servings of seafood per week.) Sage Health Advice Maintaining the right balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fats is absolutely vital for your health. – Mehmet Oz, M.D. __________ The best way to increase the omega-3s in one’s tissues is to not only increase consumption of omega-3s but to also decrease consumption of the competing omega-6s. – Dr. Ralph Holman, pioneering fats researcher who coined the term “Omega-3” __________ The ratio of omega–6 to omega–3 EFA is an important determinant of health. It is essential to decrease omega–6 intake while increasing omega–3 in the prevention and management of chronic disease. – Artemis P. Simopoulos, M.D., founder of the Center for Genetics, Nutrition and Health and author of more than 300 articles, papers and books, including The Omega Diet. __________ Individuals, physicians, health insurers and policymakers could revolutionize preventive health care, and reduce related costs and suffering, by monitoring proportions of omega-3 and omega-6 blood fatty acids, and encouraging dietary choices that improve them. – William E. Lands, Ph.D., who discovered that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids compete for absorption into our cells __________ The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food … leave your drugs in the chemist’s pot if you can heal the patient with food. – Hippocrates 8 © 2011 Vital Choice Inc. info@vitaltest.com www.vitaltest.com
