Why take
Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil?

Pharmaceutical grade fish oils has twice the important, health-supporting, EPA and DHAs found in regular, health-food grade fish oils.
 It is so pure and refined, it contains hundreds of times less PCB's than health food grade fish oil.
No fishy taste! Pharmaceutical grade fish oil is so pure it has virtually no taste or smell.
We believe you'll never find this quality of fish oil in any health food store or direct mail company.

Promoting and maintaining a state of wellness requires a dynamic balance of hormones known as eicosanoids.* Eicosanoids are powerful cell regulators that help maintain virtually all body functions including the brain, the heart and the immune system.*  Daily supplementation with pharmaceutical- grade fish oils rich in the long-chain Omega 3 essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA, is critical for maintaining optimal eicosanoid balance throughout the body. 



Pharmaceutical grade fish oil has very distinct characteristics:
- Concentration of EPA & DHA > 60%
- Concentration of PCB's < 45 ppb/g
- Concentration of Dioxins < 1 ppt
- Concentration of Mercury < 10 ppb

Because of these rigid and exacting specifications, the supply of this type of fish oil is very limited since it takes 100 gallons of health-food grade fish oil to make one gallon of pharmaceutical- grade fish oil.

Although this more refined fish oil costs 10-20 times more than health-food grade, we keep our price per gram of EPA and DHA as low as possible as shown below.

Lowest grade health-food grade $0.30
Molecular distilled health-food grade $0.54
OmegaRx  capsules $0.56
OmegaRx liquid oil $0.49

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why is OmegaRx the best value?
To manufacture superior-grade fish oil requires extensive purification. In fact, it takes 100 gallons of health-food grade fish oil to make one gallon of pharmaceutical-grade fish oil. Only pharmaceutical-grade material makes high-dose supplementation possible due to lack of toxins and gastric distress common with other fish oils at recommended dose levels.
How many grams of long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids are found in a capsule of OmegaRx?
Each OmegaRx capsule contains 600 mg. of long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids. This is double the amount found in health-food grade fishoil capsules. Four OmegaRx capsules would supply 2.4 grams of long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids, which is similar to that found in one tablespoon of cod liver oil.

How many grams of long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids in a teaspoon of OmegaRx?

One teaspoon of liquid OmegaRx contains 2.7 grams of long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids. This is slightly more than one tablespoon of cod liver oil. This is equivalent to taking nine (9) capsules of typical health-food grade fishoil. Each teaspoon of OmegaRx contains 1800 mg. (1.8 g) of EPA and 900 mg. (0.9 g) of DHA.

Why this particular ratio of EPA and DHA?

The 2:1 ratio of EPA and DHA in OmegaRx is virtually the same as that used in all scientific studies conducted with pharmaceutical-grade fishoil reporting clinical benefits.

What are early signs of Essential Fatty Acid deficiency?

• Poor memory • Fatigue • Immune weakness
• Dry skin, eczema or hair loss • Heart problems • Reproductive problems (both men and women)
• Mood swings or depression • Poor circulation

Is it safe to take Essential Fatty Acids derived from fish?
Fish may contain environmental toxins that accumulate in its body during its life span. However, potential toxins can be virtually eliminated with the use of high quality raw materials and a technologically advanced refining process, utilizing the very latest distillation technologies. OmegaRx adheres to the highest Pharmaceutical-Grade standard for quality and purity. 

 

How much OmegaRx should I take?

A good maintenance dose is 2.5 grams of long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids each day. This dosage represents either four OmegaRx capsules or one teaspoon of the liquid OmegaRx. This is the amount found in a tablespoon of cod liver oil. Individuals who will use the liquid OmegaRx are those who require higher amounts of long-chain Omega 3 fatty acids or find taking the liquid easier than taking large numbers of capsules.

How should I store the OmegaRx capsules?

Soft gelatin capsules are best stored between 59 and 75 degrees in a dry, dark container. This is why each container contains an absorbent to maintain a defined degree of humidity. The shelf life of the capsules is two years under these conditions.

How should I store the OmegaRx oil?

After opening the liquid OmegaRx, carefully remove the plug, and then discard it. Put the bottle in the freezer to maintain its potency. Always shake the container well before using to better disperse the flavor. The liquid OmegaRx has a one-year shelf life under these conditions.

What does liquid OmegaRx taste like?

Liquid OmegaRx has remarkably little taste or odor, especially when kept in the freezer. However, here are some additional tips to improve taste:

Eat a small piece of citrus fruit (lime, lemon, or orange) with the oil. The citrus flavor will mask any residual taste.
Have a sip of a cup of decaffeinated coffee with OmegaRx.

Make a Big Brain Shake with 2 cups of berries, 30 grams of protein powder and 1-3 teaspoons of OmegaRx. The protein powder will emulsify the oil plus you instantly create a Zone meal that includes your daily supplementation with OmegaRx oil.

Take 1/2 a serving of an OmegaZone meal replacement bar, then take your Omega Rx and eat the remainder of the OmegaZone.   This will completely eliminate any taste.  By doing so, you have a very quick Zone meal with your daily dose of Omega Rx. This is the ideal way to start the day.
