Fish oil is a natural substance which has undergone enormous scientific scrutiny over the past decade. Some of you may remember your Mom forcing you to take cod liver oil when you were young. Our understanding of fish oil and its application has come a long way since then. We now know that the greatest benefits of fish oil come from omega-3 fatty acids, an immensely popular supplement these days, known to promote healthy heart and brain function.
Another product that’s very popular nowadays is known as Coenzyme Q10 (or CoQ10). Indeed, as a powerful natural antioxidant, it plays an essential role in the production of energy by each cell of the human body and its distinctive advantages are linked to cardiovascular health and the prevention of migraines.
Finally, the last natural product called turmeric, or Indian saffron, is literally under the microscope of scientists because of its anti-inflammatory properties, especially in the brain and the nervous system. Every month, countless articles are published about this plant extract.
Immunotec® offers you the opportunity to take advantage of these three natural substances together. Give yourself triple protection…!!!
Omega-3, CoQ10 and Turmeric, it's a triple punch!
Luckily, we can increase our consumption of omega-3 fatty acids and turmeric without having to eat curried sardines. Immunotec’s Omega-3 + CoQ10 with Turmeric combines the benefits of ingredients that have been clinically proven to promote healthy heart and brain function as well as to contain potent antioxidant properties. This superior synergistic formula uses the latest encapsulation technology and represents tremendous innovation, making it an easy to swallow capsule and eliminating any potential for bad breath.
Research shows that the origin of fish oil is a determining factor when it comes to the quality of omega-3. It is with extra special care that we select the best source of omega-3, found in cold pressed Norwegian fish oil (anchovy, mackerel, and sardine) guaranteeing a superior quality free of contaminants, such as mercury. Each gel capsule contains a superior source of omega-3, CoQ10 and turmeric to provide 135 mg of EPA, 90 mg of DHA, 19 mg of CoQ10 and 15 mg of curcuminoids. A truly synergistic combination, its absorption and effectiveness are enhanced thanks to the presence of piperine.

The Science of Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are vital to human health, and have a role in the function of almost every cell in the human body. Thousands of research articles have been published touching upon a vast range of topics including cardiovascular disease, cholesterol problems, and many other of the major health issues that plague North Americans.
Many areas of the world where fish consumption has been traditionally higher have shown lowered incidence of heart disease and related problems. Many years of investigating this phenomenon has resulted in the understanding that certain fats found in fish have had a protective effect on these populations. It has become quite clear in the past few years that not all fats are bad, and these omega-3 fats in particular are vital to our health and can actually counteract some of the damage done by “bad” fats like cholesterol.
Because of these findings, the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) suggests that products containing omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease while various other institutions encourage us to increase our consumption of deepwater fish. To meet the American Heart Association’s recommendation that we eat at least two fish meals per week, many people increase their consumption of popular fish such as salmon. Unfortunately, increased fish consumption can also lead to increased exposure to heavy metals, such as mercury, coming from pollution. Some nutritionists in fact express concern and suggest that pregnant women and children set limits on their fish consumption. How to get around this paradox? Use high quality fish oil produced according to strict quality control guidelines to remove all toxins. Immunotec’s Omega-3 + CoQ10 with Turmeric daily supplement is equivalent to a 4-ounce serving of wild salmon, without the mercury!
The Science of Coenzyme Q10 - CoQ10
CoQ10 is a powerful natural antioxidant and one of the
essential elements in the production of energy by each cell of the human body.
All physiological processes that involve energy expenditure depend on CoQ10.
It can be found throughout the body particularly in the brain and the heart. It
is also found in the organs that play a role in the immune system (liver,
kidneys and prostate), hence its other name “ubiquinone“ (which has the same
etymology as “ubiquity“ which means “omnipresence“). Often characterized as a
vitamin due to its structure and its activity, it plays an important role in the
maintenance of proper cardiovascular functioning, the fight against hypertension
and the prevention of migraines.
Nevertheless, many factors contribute to decreased
levels of CoQ10 in our bodies and
natural production cannot keep up. Aging, stress,
intense physical activity, illness, smoking and
consumption of alcohol are all factors in the reduction
of natural production of CoQ10 by
our cells. Supplements are thus essential in order to
ensure proper functioning of our bodies.
The Science of Turmeric
Just as the low incidence of heart disease in certain populations encouraged researchers to explore the benefits of fatty fish consumption, scientists are looking into dietary factors that could account for the impressive levels of high-functioning mental and physical activity in the aging Asian Indian population.
A potential explanation for this phenomenon is the local use of curry (a mix of spices that contain turmeric) for its flavour and as a natural preservative. Turmeric has long been used in both Ayurvedic (Indian) and Chinese traditional medicine and is what gives curry its yellow colour.
Features
Omega-3 and CoQ10 fatty acids
are vital to human health as they are the building
blocks of all cell membranes and cellular energy. The
usual source of omega-3 is directly from fish, but fish
often contain mercury which is toxic. Immunotec uses a
purification method allowing all the benefits associated
with omega-3 fatty acids without the disadvantages of
heavy metals. Turmeric is an exceptional supplement with
potent antioxidant properties.
