Sea Pet Omega 3 "A, D & E" Oil
Sea Pet's new all-natural Omega 3 "A, D & E" Oil is an outstanding combination of pure, medicinal
grade North Atlantic cod liver oil and Omega-3
fish oil with added natural vitamin E as
a powerful antioxidant. Omega 3 "A,
D & E" Oil provides 2,500 IU of
vitamin A, 250 IU of vitamin D, 200 IU of
vitamin E, 600 mg of the Omega 3 essential
fatty acid, EPA, and 460 mg of the Omega
3 essential fatty acid, DHA, per teaspoon.
Vitamin D is necessary for your pet to properly metabolize calcium for healthy bones.
Vitamin E, an essential nutrient, is one of nature's most powerful free radical quenchers -- and the body's principal fat-soluble antioxidant. Much of the body's free radical damage occurs in fats, such as cholesterol, and in fatty membranes of cells -- exactly where vitamin E protects the body.
Omega 3 fish oils are naturally in the form of EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). These are necessary and essential fatty acids. As fish oil, these essential fatty acids are ready-to-be-utilized by your pet for optimum effectiveness. Omega 3 fatty acids also help to counter act the negative effects of the excessive Omega 6 fatty acids found in many diets. (Omega-6 fatty acids are also necessary but when the proportion is not correct, or too lopsided, the Omega-6 fatty acids can have a negative and detrimental effect on your pet's health.)
No conversion is needed when using Omega 3 fatty acids from fish oils.
The Omega 3 oil from plant sources, such as flaxseed, is in the form of Alpha-linolenic Acid (LNA). LNA needs to be converted to EPA and DHA in order to be utilized by your pet. This conversion, however, is extremely inefficient -- 10 grams of LNA are required to convert to just one gram of EPA. Plant sources of Omega 3 are an extremely inefficient means for your pet to receive the essential fatty acids that they need.
Essential Fatty Acids, such as EPA & DHA, serve a number of major vital functions in the body. They are required for the transport and metabolism of both cholesterol and triglycerides. They are required for normal brain development and brain function. They are required in visual function (retina), brain and nerve function (synapses), and adrenal function. They are required in the structure of the membranes that surround each cell in our body. They stimulate metabolism, increase metabolic rate, increase oxygen uptake, and increase energy production. They slow down growth of cancer cells.
DHA (from fish oil) has been shown to be a key in neural development. Research, unveiled at the 2004 American Veterinary Medical Association convention, examined the role DHA (a long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid) - plays in puppies' neural development.
The research shows "that puppies nourished with enhanced (high) levels of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) were smarter, more trainable than typical-DHA (low-DHA) nourished puppies."
DHA is one of the most abundant fatty acids in the brain, and thought to be vital for mental function. DHA has long been praised as a wonder nutrient for human infants and now it's been found to boost healthy brain development in puppies.
DHA, and its companion, EPA, are the forms of omega-3 essential fatty acids naturally available in fish oils -- for optimum utilization.
EPA (from fish oil) also converts to series 3 prostaglandins, which have many benefits. They regulate inflammatory responses (Skin and Joint). They regulate immune function, which can help in fighting disease more effectively. They regulate platelet stickiness. They regulate arterial muscle tone, which involves blood pressure regulation.
Sea Pet Omega 3 Fish Oils are pure, medicinal grade fish oils with 1,000 ppm (about 5 IUs) of natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) per teaspoon as a preservative.
For a higher concentration of natural vitamin E as an antioxidant try the
Sea Pet Omega 3 Fish Oil with Vitamin E, providing 200 IUs of natural vitamin E per teaspoon.
For an even higher concentration of natural vitamin E ask your veterinarian forSea Vet Omega-3 Fish Oil providing 400 IUs of natural vitamin E per teaspoon.
The lack of Omega 3 and the excessive amount of Omega 6 (up to 20 times the amount of Omega 3) in the modern diet ultimately create degenerative conditions. The store-bought processed foods still do not supply an adequate amount of Omega 3 to properly balance the ratio. (The ratio should be only 2 times the amount of Omega 6 to Omega 3.) And many nutritional supplements are still including the Omega 6 (LA) fatty acids -exacerbating an already severely imbalanced and unhealthy situation!! The best solution to insure our pet's health is to provide a high quality Omega 3 Fish oil supplement along with a premium food.
