O-3 Essentials
Brand: Dr. Whitaker
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
O-3 Essentials delivers 1000 mg of Fish Oil concentrate per softgel. At a cellular level, the EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids integrate into cell membranes, increasing fluidity and receptor function. This supports anti-inflammatory pathways by competing with arachidonic acid, potentially reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. The formula includes Mixed Tocopherols and Rosemary extract, which act as antioxidants to protect these delicate lipids from oxidation, ensuring bioavailability and cellular protection.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports cardiovascular function and healthy cholesterol levels.
- Promotes cognitive health and memory retention.
- Encourages a healthy inflammatory response.
- Maintains joint flexibility and skin health.
Usage & Safety
Take 1 softgel daily with a meal to maximize absorption and minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. The natural lemon flavor helps reduce 'fish burps.' Consult a physician if taking blood thinners (anticoagulants) or preparing for surgery, as omega-3s may affect clotting. Store in a cool, dry place.
