Coromega Omega-3 Fish Oil

90 Packets – Lemon-Lime Flavor

Coromega

Coromega® is a brand-new omega-3 dietary supplement that furnishes all of the excellent benefits of fish oil without any fishy aftertaste. It’s the final result of ten years of research and development and is patented on a global basis. Coromega® is a savory, fresh, natural lemon-lime flavored, pudding-like emulsion that comes in convenient, individual dose, oxidation resistant squeeze-pack foil pouches.

For many years, fish oil has been known as a great way of obtaining omega-3 fatty acids in the diet. Regrettably, fish oil has been hard to dispense to children and adults who can’t swallow large capsules. Also, the side effect of fishy belching made it objectionable and unpleasant.

Coromega® solves these problems. Adults and kids love it. Take it right out of the package or put it in juice, pudding, applesauce or whatever other food or beverage that an individual enjoys.

Coromega® is a supercharged essential fatty acid formula that contains 650 mg of omega-3 (similar to a small serving of salmon), including 350 mg of EPA and 230 mg of DHA. Small quantities of vitamins C, and E are also present.

The product comes in boxes of 90 packets. Kirkman® is an official distributor of Coromega®.

Essential Fatty Acids (Omega-3 and Omega-6 Compounds)

The word "essential" as applied in describing omega-3 and omega-6 compounds implies that the body cannot fabricate them on its own, so they must be ingested through what we eat. Essential fatty acids are either omega-3 oils or omega-6 oils. A few sources of omega-3 are: cod liver oil, fish oils, flax oil, flaxseed, and green leafy vegetables. Some nuts also contain omega-3s (e.g., walnuts). Omega-6 sources are: corn oil, wheat germ oil, soy oil, borage oil, evening primrose oil, black current oil, plus many other cooking oils.

Virtually all processed foods are very high in omega-6s. Essential fatty acids have vital roles in body function and structure. As a matter of fact, life can’t be supported without them. Some are changed into modulating compounds called prostaglandins in the body; these prostaglandins, in addition with essential fatty acids, are responsible for sustaining the critical body functions listed below:

Division of cells (growth and healing processes)
Maintaining health of cell membranes
Muscle reflexes
Nerve transmission
Oxygen transport from cells to tissues
Pressure regulation in the eye, joints and blood vessels
Providing energy to the heart muscle
Response to pain, swelling and inflammation
Supporting immune response

Essential fatty acids are often called by their chemical names.

Omega-3 compounds are:

EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)
Alpha-linolenic acid
Alpha-linoleic acid

Omega-6 compounds are:

Linoleic acid
Gamma-linoleic acid
Gamma-linolenic acid
Arachidonic acid

The balance of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids

The latest scientific research has confirmed the view that essential fatty acids need to be in balance in our diet. Omega-3 and omega-6 intake should be balanced. It’s typically suggested that omega-6 consumption should be about four times as much as omega-3. Additionally, it’s suggested by the medical community that saturated fat use should be restricted. Saturated fats are found in butter, margarine and lard. All omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids are polyunsaturated.

Regrettably, many peoples’ diets don’t accomplish those suggested balances. Most North American and Western diets are very low in omega-3 and extremely high in omega-6. Too many saturated fats are ingested, and the ratio of ingested EFAs averages out to more like 20:1 omega-6s to omega-3s rather than the recommended 4:1. This is due to the fact that poor quality cooking oils and most processed foods contain omega-6 oils. Additionally, the total consumption of omega-3 rich foods is frequently very low. Getting people to comply with fish oil omega-3 type products is extremely hard, particularly when it comes to children. In some people, omega-3 intake is totally lacking. Moreover, in various geographic regions, people avoid fish due to industrial contaminants.
