Why the triglyceride (TG) form of fish oils?

• Naturally occurring form in foods and in the body
• Research indicates that it is up to 100 percent more bioavailable than the ethyl ester (EE) form
• Easier to assimilate for individuals with impaired digestion and absorption
• Less prone to oxidation and production of free radicals
• No production of alcohol in the gut or blood stream as in the EE form
• Less susceptible to increasing free fatty acids in the blood, which may increase blood glucose.

Other advantages:

• Purest Omega uses the latest innovation in EPA/DHA technology to insure purity and enhanced absorption.
• Exceptional freshness – freshly caught fish are quickly processed within hours, resulting in exceptionally fresh, raw fish oil.
• Cold extraction – process used for the refining of the EPA & DHA fatty acids
• Minimally processed – produced to the highest standards
• Molecular distillation – removes fishy odour and taste to ensure purity
• Filtration – removes PCBs, chlorinated organ pollutants and heavy metals
• Coyne Healthcare Free of any synthetics, pesticides or herbicides+

Regain your health by using some of the most outstanding ingredients that nature has to offer.

Bio-Curcumin® Advanced with BCM-95® & AKBAMAX®, a world-class curcumin formulation combined with a special extract of Boswellia serrata,is a health supplement made from a strategic blend of natural ingredients. It is specifically designed to help boost and support the body’s internal systems and maintain health in a natural way.

Bio-Curcumin Advanced® with BCM95® contains a standardised extract of Boswellia serrata containing a rich supply of AKBA and other beneficial boswellic acids but minimal β-boswellic acids. AKBA (or 3-Acetyl-11-keto-beta-boswellic acid) has been shown to be the most potent anti-inflammatory component of Boswellia, whereas β-boswellic acids may exacerbate or compound the effects of pro-inflammatory enzymes. It therefore makes sense to consider supplementation rich in AKBA which is free from β-boswellic acids for the purpose of reducing pain and inflammation. AKBAMAX® is a proven antioxidant and is known to support the maintenance of healthy joints.

It is produced from sustainable, wild caught Alaskan pollock. Each batch is tested for absolute purity and is free from heavy metals and contaminants with a market leading TOTOX score of no more than 5 at encapsulation.

What are TOTOX scores? Why are they important to take notice of?

All fish oils are not made equal and the freshness of your oil is important for your health.

It is valuable to note that when it comes to Omega 3 supplements, oxidation levels and rancidity are measurable. Consumption of highly oxidised fish oil can be harmful.

Anisidine and Peroxide values (pAV and PV) are commonly used to calculate how oxidised an Omega 3 supplement is. The TOTOX (Total Oxidation) score – calculated using pAV and PV – provides an overall idea of how fresh an oil is. These values are relatively easy to understand, provided testing is actually done. As a general principle, the lower the oxidation numbers, the fresher the oil.

EPA and DHA are the polyunsaturated fatty-acids found in Omega 3 Oils and are considered important compounds in these oils. As oxidation increases, levels of EPA and DHA decrease, meaning a reduced potency in supplements with high scores.

The Global Organisation for EPA and DHA Omega-3 (GOED), whose goal is to improve global consumption of adequate levels of Omega 3s, suggest that a TOTOX limit of 26 is acceptable.

A low TOTOX value of between 0 – 5 is what scientists would consider fresh. A value of 5 is considered the maximum recommended value, with anything higher having the potential for rancidity.

In a 2015 study by Benjamin AB. et al., it was found that 83% of Omega 3 supplements available on the New Zealand market exceeded recommended peroxide values.

In a 2013 follow up study in South Africa carried out by M. Opperman and S. Benade, 44% of commercially available Omega 3 supplements in South Africa were found to be in early stages of rancidity, and more than 80% had oxidation levels higher than those recommended by GOED.

Similarly, a Canadian study by Jackowski SA et al., found that 50% of North American Omega 3 supplements commercially available in Canada exceeded recommended oxidation levels. This study also found that of these products, children’s Omega 3 supplements had the highest TOTOX scores of all.

Consuming highly oxidised/rancid oil may contribute to health issues such as increased ‘bad’ cholesterols, inflammation and organ damage.

A simple way for consumers to check if their fish oil is safe to consume is by taste and smell, as one would do with fish. When fish oils are highly oxidised, they from by-products that may have a strong taste or odour. The highest quality fish oils should have no fishy taste or smell and shouldn’t be

covered up by heavy flavouring.

Adding antioxidants during manufacture is also a common way to preserve the quality of a fish oil over time and prevent oxidation.

Natroceutics Omega 3 Fortified uses a quality source of Omega 3 oil with TOTOX values typically within the range of 0 – 3, with 5 being the maximum standard. We also fortify our Omega 3 with Lutein and Zeaxanthin antioxidants which maintains the integrity of the formulation as well as

provides beneficial antioxidants to the body.

Our Omega 3 fatty acids are in a superior triglyceride form as nature intended them to be. Delivering an impressive 400 mg of EPA and 300 mg of DHA in each 1000 mg capsule.

What form of Omega 3 Oil is best to consume?

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are important omega 3 fatty acids from fish oil and are available to consumers in two forms: triglyceride (TG) or ethyl ester (EE) form.

These oils, fresh from the source, the way nature intended are in the TG form. The main difference between these forms comes during the distillation process in fish oil production whereby contaminants are removed and omega 3 molecules, EPA and DHA are concentrated. This process requires the conversion of TGs to EEs for concentration to occur.

However, once this distillation process is complete, there is the option to leave the fatty acids attached to an ethyl alcohol (EE) or reattach to glycerol backbone (TG) as an additional step in the process.

EE forms of omega 3 supplements are prevalent in the marketplace because of cost. Bulk EE concentrates typically cost 30-40% less than TG concentrates. They are cheaper to produce than TG forms and are also considered easier to commercially distribute.

The problem arises in the efficacy between EE and TG forms. Studies have shown that EE forms are the least bioavailable form of these fatty acids when compared to TG/ whole fish and have a higher likelihood of oxidation.

Evidence has shown that TG fish oils result in up to 50% higher plasma EPA and DHA when compared with EE forms.

TG forms also have 30 – 50% improved absorption efficiency than EE forms. TG forms are more stable when consumed compared with EE forms that oxidise readily.

During the metabolism process, TG forms are able to break from the glycerol backbone and reattach once absorbed. This is important as fats are stored and transported in the body in TG form.

EE forms are processed in the liver where the EE form is split into fatty acid and ethyl alcohol. The fatty acid must then be re-synthesised into a TG form for distribution in the body. In order to do this, the fatty acid must take a triglyceride backbone from an existing molecule. This donor molecule will then have to find another backbone and this can cause a ripple effect. This is far less efficient than the natural TG form. Subsequently, the release of ethyl alcohol may produce oxidative stress in the body in addition to the release of ethanol.

EE forms have been a part of the human diet for approximately 20 years, whereas TG forms have been provided by nature for an estimated 500 million years.

Our Fortified version of our Omega 3 has the addition of Lutemax 2020 which is a researched and globally recognized Lutein + Zeaxanthin combination supported by scientific evidence. Over and above this, each capsule also contains Vitamin K2 as K2Vital®. This produces the ultimate combination to enhance the cardiovascular, cognitive and eye health benefits of our Omega 3.

Considerations when selecting a Curcumin supplement:

Turmeric is one of the most used and widely studied health-supporting substances that exist on the planet, which has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years.

When modern science caught up, curcumin was identified as the powerhouse bioactive component within turmeric that delivers remarkable health benefits.

We now understand that curcumin delivers a range of advantages – but is specifically a powerful inflammatory modulator – meaning it can positively assist with the healthy expression of inflammation in the human body.

There is, however, a major challenge with curcumin: it has very poor oral bioavailability when used as an extract on its own, and when consumed in whole turmeric, it’s challenging to consume enough on a consistent basis to provide major health benefits.

Not all products are created equal. Many people are disappointed that curcumin doesn’t work for them or has suboptimal results because it may not be absorbed adequately.

Consider the following when selecting a product:

• Are you actually absorbing anything? Does the extract that you are using have a scientifically proven delivery method
• Does your product deliver ‘free’ or ‘bioavailable’ curcumin into the blood stream? This is actually the form that delivers the results. It should state this on the packaging clearly, or be supported by evidence. ‘Total absorption’ and ‘Free’ or ‘Bioactive’ are different things. Many companies make large claims about their absorption but are actually referring to ‘Total Absorption’ which sounds impressive but doesn’t necessarily help you.
• Does it contain unwanted or unnatural additives? Check the label clearly and look at the ingredients list. Additives such as polysorbate 80 and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) commonly appear. Do you want that in your health supplement unless you really need it?
• If you are using chronic medication, be sure to check if the supplement you are taking contains piperine, which is commonly added to curcumin or turmeric to enhance absorption. This may not be advisable with the medication you are using.
• The active life of curcumin in most cases is very short, i.e. 2 – 4 hours. Does your product provide sufficient active life to deliver results, or do you need to take it several times per day?
• Does your curcumin supplement only deliver the benefit of curcumin, without the complete health benefits of turmeric?
• Many capsules are made from animal gelatin which is a major consideration in certain religions and those that follow a plant-based diet.

Milk Thistle

Your liver helps process some of the 850 million pounds of toxic chemicals released into the environment every year. An overload of these toxins can easily wear out your liver—and leave you prone to developing a host of health problems! Researchers have discovered that silymarin—a powerful bioflavonoid antioxidant found in milk thistle—can help your liver replace dead or damaged cells—and effectively repair itself! Studies conducted by the Center for Cancer Causation and Prevention at the AMC Cancer Research Center in Denver, Colo., also suggest that milk thistle provides protection from carcinogens that affect the prostate, breast, and cervical cells!

Artichoke Leaf

Artichoke leaf has been used for centuries to enhance healthy bile secretion. Why is this important? Well, think of bile as the liquid detergent you use to wash your dirty, greasy dishes. Without that detergent, you can’t break up the grease and dishes stay dirty. Without bile, your liver can’t properly break up cholesterol and other fatty molecules that can wreak havoc on your health

Turmeric Root

This popular spice has been traditionally used to help remove dangerous toxins from the liver and stimulate the production of bile. According to the book, Herb Bible, turmeric can also help reduce liver inflammation!

Burdock

Purges poisons to purify blood! Noted health expert Varro E. Tyler, Ph.D., in The Honest Herbal recommends burdock as a blood purifier. Why? Because this remarkable herb has the uncanny ability to help neutralize most poisons that enter the liver. What’s more, it can soothe irritated kidneys and enhance urine flow!

Dandelion Root

his age-old herb helps filter toxins from your liver and kidneys without overstraining or tiring out these organs. Dandelion is a natural diuretic that can increase urine production by promoting the excretion of salts and water from the kidneys. Plus, it helps keep optimal water balance in your kidneys… encourages healthy electrolyte balance in the blood… and helps keep liver and pancreas enzymes in balance. Dandelion is also a rich source of potassium!

Oregano

Capable of preventing tissue damage and encouraging healing in the liver.

Amla

Regular use of pain killers, antibiotics and medication, regular intake of alcohol, all cause toxin build-up in the liver. Amla helps strengthen the liver, and rid the body of these toxins. Studies have proved that Amla has properties that protect the liver from oxidative damage caused by chemicals or alcohol.

Derma-Kure Cream alleviates pain and can stop cold sores in their tracks A cold sore typically progresses through four stages: first, tingling with gradual redness and swelling; second, formation of a blister as the virus replicates; third, ulceration as the wound weeps and fails to heal, often accompanied by infection; and finally, scabbing as a crust of blood and pus forms.

Unlike conventional medication, Derma-Kure Cream works at each stage.  Used early, at the initial tingling stage,  its ability to fight the herpes virus can stop the replication process – thereby preventing a blister developing.  Its antibacterial action provided by the ingredient Calendula, can prevent secondary infection or fungal contamination, while its anti-inflammatory action has a local anesthetic effect, relieving pain and discomfort. Derma-Kure Cream will also speed up healing of the damaged tissue (the ability to promote granulation and speed up formation of new skin cells) thus making the fever blister disappear more rapidly than other treatments available. Scarring and lesions are also greatly reduced.

Derma-Kure Cream and Burn Wounds 

The ingredients Calendula and Cantharis, are specifically indicated to relieve pain and to prevent infection in burn wounds. Derma-Kure Cream is an ideal debriding agent in burn wounds. The product keeps the wound moist while promoting granulation and epithelization to reduce the healing time and the trauma associated with burn wounds. Derma Kure pray can be sprayed on minor burns especially if there is pain associated with the burn.
