Frequently Asked Question — GNLD Omega 3 Salmon Oil Plus Supplement
This GNLD's Salmon oil Plus FAQ is a listing of the most frequently asked questions about Salmon Oil Plus Supplement product
Q.How can Omega 3 Salmon Oil Plus have more omega 3 fatty acids than the other omega 3 products and still be in a smaller capsule?
A. By using a unique and exclusive process known as "Molecular Differentiation" we can concentrate on specific omega 3 fatty acids while eliminating unnecessary elements.
Q. If there are eight members in the omega-3 fatty acid family, why didn’t GNLD have them in the Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus before now?
A. Though we have known for some time that there are 8 members, technology did not exist that allowed us to standardize all 8 and guarantee delivery with every batch until now.
Q. What is Molecular Differentiation?
A. Molecular Differentiation is a technology used to select specific nutrient molecules from fish while eliminating or reducing the unwanted molecules.
Q. Why did GNLD use tuna in Salmon Oil Plus?
A. Specific types of fish have specific fatty acid profiles. Tuna is naturally higher in DHA and its DPA precursor, therefore tuna oil was chosen as the starting point to maximize those omega-3 fatty acid levels.
Q. Why are anchovies and sardines used in Salmon Oil Plus?
A. Anchovies and sardines are both naturally higher in EPA and its ETA precursor. Anchovies and sardines were chosen as the starting point to maximize those omega-3 fatty acid levels.
Q.Can GNLD use molecular differentiation for Omega-3 Concentrate to provide a higher level of potency?
A. No. Salmon Oil Plus™ reflects a level of technology not attainable using Omega 3 Concentrate.
Q.Why does Salmon Oil Plus contains more DHA than the other products?
A. : Leading edge research has shown DHA and related omega-3 fatty acid members are more important to overall health than was previously thought.
Q. Is Salmon Oil Plus more effective in relieving inflammation than the other Omega-3 products?
A. Because of the concentrated and completeness of fatty acids in the Salmon Oil Plus, it should provide greater overall benefits.
Q. How much of the fatty acids are from Omega 3 Salmon Oil?
A. Although the percentages of fatty acid sources are considered proprietary we can tell you the majority does come from salmon and that salmon oil is the single largest ingredient in the product.
Q. Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus the same with or similar to Cod Liver oil?
A. No, Omega III Salmon Oil Plus and Cod Liver Oil™ are different fish oil products, each offering unique benefits.
Cod Liver Oil is a good source of vitamins A and D. Two capsules contain 5,000 IU of vitamin A and 540 IU of vitamin D. Cod Liver Oil also naturally contains trace amounts of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) (omega-3 fatty acids), but should not be considered a significant source for Omega III fatty acids.
Omega III Salmon Oil Plus is derived from pure salmon fish oil, one of nature's richest sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Three capsules deliver the omega-3 fatty acid value of one 3-ounce serving of salmon. The salmon are health-screened, disease-free, and carry no risk of accumulated toxins common in some forms of fish.
In addition to providing omega-3, our Omega III Salmon Oil Plus supplement does not contribute any hidden vitamin A or D to the diet, and contain only 2 mg of cholesterol per capsule.
Q. How would someone go about reducing LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) and increasing HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) levels and decreasing total triglyceride levels in the blood? Would Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus provide such solution and benefits?
A. First, we always recommend seeing a doctor, especially if there are existing diagnosed medical problems in those areas.
In general, research has shown that Omega-3 fatty acids, such as those contained in our Omega III Salmon Oil Plus, and fiber, as found in Multi-Fiber Blend and All Natural Fiber can all play a part in lowering cholesterol levels and do not have any harmful side effects. However, the goal of nutritional supplementation is to help keep the body healthy and thriving. Achieving optimal health means that the body may be better able to prevent disease. If a medical condition develops, only a qualified medical doctor should recommend the best treatment program to embark on.
Q. What diseases does GNLD check for in the fish used in Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus?
A. GNLD's Omega III Salmon Oil Plus offers a level of quality and consistency unparalleled by any other fish oil products. We follow the strict standard testing protocols established by Europe and adopted by the U.S. government. The FDA Hazardous And Critical Control Point (HACCP) program requires screening for at least 29 disease and parasite hazards commonly carried by fish, including severe hazards, such as hepatitis A and E, clostridium botulinum types A, B, E, and F, and trichinella spiralis. Our careful screening makes certain that GNLD Omega III Salmon Oil Plus™ is the highest quality, purity, and consistency humanly possible for a natural product of this type!
Q. Why isn’t Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus processed as water-miscible?
A. : Derived by cold press processing, solely from health screened, fresh fish, three capsules of Omega III Salmon Oil Plus delivers the omega-3 value of an optimal serving of fresh fish. The soft gelatin capsules are easy to swallow, and the very nature of the fish oil itself lends it to easier absorption in the body without the aid of water-miscibility. You can rest assured that each dose of Omega III Salmon Oil Plus is readily absorbed by your body!
Q. Is Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus best taken early in the morning on an empty stomach for best absorption?
A. The benefits of supplementation with GNLD Omega III Salmon Oil Plus is not linked to the time of day the product is taken or whether or not it is taken on an empty stomach.
We generally suggest that supplements are taken at meal times for two reasons: 1) Many supplements are better absorbed when taken with food, and 2) Our whole-food products are designed to work with foods, not to replace food. Also, people with sensitive stomachs who may have difficulty with tablets and capsules in general, usually report fewer upsets when their supplements are taken with food.
Q. What kind of testing took place to ensure that there is no mercury in the Omega III Salmon Oil Plus?
A. We follow the standard testing protocols of the American Organization of Organic Chemists to verify that our Omega III Salmon Oil Plus fish oil is pesticide free and free of heavy metal contaminants, such as mercury.
