About OrthoMega 820

OrthoMega 820 is a formula that contains fish oil from the cold, Chilean coast waters in high concentrations. The Chilean coast is regarded as being among the least industrialized fresh waters that provide a sustainable, clean source of fish in the globe. The product comes rich in natural triglycerides, namely EPA (eicosatetraenoic) and DHA (docosahexaenoic) per soft gel – both ingredients explicitly manufactured for superior absorption.

How OrthoMega 820 Works

Besides DHA and EPA, the formula also contains mixed tocopherols (vitamin E source) and rosemary extract as a means to ensure maximum freshness and purity. The fish oil used in OrthoMega 820 is not only vacuum-distilled and carefully purified but also tested by an independent third party to verify that all PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), pesticides, and heavy metals have been removed efficiently.

Health Benefits of Fish Oil

Fish oil contains health-promoting omega-3 fatty acids, as well as vitamins A and D, and is extracted from fish tissue. It is produced from the liver of tuna, herring, mackerel, and anchovies, as well as other fish. Fish oil provides protection against several diseases at much greater levels than the omega-3s contained in plant sources. In detail, fish oil-derived omega-3s may:

• Support heart health – Studies have shown that individuals who consume a lot of fish have a much lower risk of heart disease. Adding more fish to your diet appears to help reduce multiple factors that contribute to heart disease. At the same time, omega-3 fatty acids can increase the levels of HDH cholesterol (aka “good” cholesterol) and reduce the levels of LDL cholesterol (aka “bad” cholesterol). It can also lower triglycerides by up to 30% and combat hypertension while preventing the plaques that harden the arteries. Ongoing research puts the role of fish oil in lowering fatal arrhythmia events, which can lead to heart attacks in some cases.
• Treat mental disorders – Most of the fat in the brain is omega-3 fatty acids, which shows how important they are to the brain’s normal function. Studies indicate that individuals with certain mental disorders, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, have lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
• Help with weight loss – Fish oil supplements are found to help improve body composition and lose weight, especially when combined with exercise or diet. Many studies have evidenced that the consumption of fish oil may reduce waist-to-hip ratio and waist circumference.
• Support eye health – Individuals that don’t consume enough omega-3s are at greater risk of age-related macular degeneration and other eye diseases.
• Reduce inflammation – Fish oil comes with potent anti-inflammatory properties, which can help the body treat injuries and fight infection more efficiently. Chronic inflammation is also associated with heart disease, depression, diabetes, and obesity. So, taking fish oil can help prevent the onset of these diseases. Plus, it can reduce stiffness and joint pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis.
• Support healthy skin – The skin contains a lot of omega-3s. Given that it is the largest organ in the human body, a fish oil-rich diet (or supplementation) can help prevent age-related skin decline or damage after sun exposure. Also, in skin conditions such as dermatitis and psoriasis.
• Support pregnancy and early life – Taking fish oil supplements during pregnancy and when nursing can improve infant hand-eye coordination, as well as the infant’s visual development while also reducing the risk of allergies.
• Reduce liver fat – Liver function plays a critical role in weight management and weight gain or loss. When fat accumulates in the liver, the risk of liver disease skyrockets.

What to consider before taking a fish oil supplement

Note that fish oil is quite prone to oxidation. When that happens, the omega-3 fatty acids go rancid. Choosing a supplement that contains vitamin E or another antioxidant is the right way to avoid this. You may also keep the supplement in the refrigerator and away from light.

Sustainability and timing are two more major issues. A supplement with a sustainability certification or consuming fish oil coming from small fish, such as anchovies, which is more sustainable than that of larger fish, is much more preferred. When it comes to the timing factor, it is best to take your fish oil supplement with a fat-containing meal to help boost the omega-3 absorption.
