Standard Process Omega-3 Supplements

Omega-3 Supplements

For Foundational and Condition-Specific Support

Balance: an improved ratio of omega-3 to omega-6

The body needs a higher ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 to support the resolution phase of the inflammation process.1 Currently the Standard American Diet is high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3s, up to the ratio of 20:12 which can tip a healthy body system out of balance and allow low levels of inflammation to occur.

Both DHA and EPA work independently to support cardiovascular health. Each Standard Process Olprima product serves a different role in supporting cardiovascular health.^* In contrast to other omega-3 supplements, Olprima EPA concentrated oils offer higher doses of EPA with minimal effect on bad cholesterol (LDL).

Cognitive & Emotional Balance

COGNITIVE & EMOTIONAL BALANCE

DHA supports general brain health and cognition. EPA is the more effective omega-3 for supporting emotional balance.*

Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) & Docosahexaenoic (DHA)

While foundational omega-3 supplementation is typically used to maintain general health, concentrated EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), like our Olprima products, are better positioned to provide condition-specific support and can be used by patients for a duration as directed by a health care professional.

Omega-3 Measurement Support

INTRODUCING: OMEGA-3 INDEX PLUS TEST
A single drop blood test that measures the Omega-3 Index

The Omega-3 Index Plus Test is a blood test that measures the percentage of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) in red blood cell membranes.

Omega-3s support wellness, cardiovascular health, and brain health

Omega-3s are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that play critical roles in the human body and are particularly abundant in the brain and retina. These PUFAs and their metabolites regulate a number of important body systems on a cellular level, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, immune, nervous3 and endocrine systems.4,5

A large percentage of the U.S. adult population falls below the recommendation for omega-3 intake

EPA and DHA Omega-3 Supplement Benefits for Foundational & Condition-Specific Support
The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of 3.5 ounces of fish per week to help maintain optimal cardiovascular health. 6 While these essential fatty acids are key in helping the body to run smoothly, our bodies do not produce them efficiently, and therefore it is recommended that they be consumed at higher levels in the diet.

A full family of omega-3 oils

Standard Process offers omega-3 solutions for foundational needs as well as concentrated doses to help target condition-specific needs for a healthy body.

There are three main types of omega-3 oils: EPA, DPA and DHA, each of which play important roles in maintaining a healthy body.7,8,9 They work individually and can also be combined with more targeted ratios to address condition-specific needs. 1,10

When used at the optimal ratio and dose, concentrated DHA and/or EPA may improve specific clinical conditions in very different ways from foundational omega-3 supplementation typically used to maintain good health. Standard Process now offers a range of targeted formulations of EPA and DHA to address a variety of health needs.
