Nordic Naturals Review and A Giveaway!

 

I am a big believer in the importance of Omega essential fatty acids in our diets.  My whole family takes omega supplements every day at bedtime.  There are a whole slew of health benefits and they are essential to the proper functioning of our bodies.  Here is just a tiny bit of the information about omegas in our diet.

 

Essential Fatty Acids are nutritional cornerstones of human health. Two major families of fats are comprised under this designation, omegas 3 and 6. They are deemed 'essential' because we need them for proper health—much like certain vitamins and minerals—but cannot produce them on our own. We must therefore consume these fats through diet or supplementation.

Most people associate omega-3s with cardiovascular health, but their benefits go far beyond the heart. The two main omega-3s eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) promote a healthy immune response that is behind the relief of many chronic conditions but that are too often inhibited by poor nutrition.* Extensive research has documented the health benefits of EPA and DHA which include not only a healthy heart, but brain and cognitive function, joint mobility, eye health, pregnancy and lactation, healthy skin and hair, and a normally functioning immune response.*

Despite the great health benefits of omegas, individuals around the world suffer from omega–3 deficiency, a little–known problem to most people, but one that is counted as the 8th leading cause of preventable death in the US, among dietary, lifestyle, and metabolic risk factors.1 Omega–3 deficiency stems in large part from the growing unavailability of foods rich these nutrients—principally fish—and because of the increasing popularity of the Western diet worldwide. While most diets prior to the 20th century contained a relative balance of omega–3 and omega–6 rich foods, the typical Western diet today contains far more of the omega–6s. In fact, Americans have the lowest intake of omega-3 essential fatty acids of any developed country—the typical American diet contains 14–25 times more omega–6s than omega–3s! Through science and education, Nordic Naturals is committed to delivering both increased awareness and quality omega nutrition in order to address this global health concern.

 

The problem is finding a high quality producer that also ensure that heavy metals and contaminants are not present. As I researched more into safe and high quality fish oil supplement I found Nordic Naturals. 

 

Some of the things that impressed me about their supplements are:

 

• Exceptional Freshness (fish oil can go rancid if too old)
• No Heavy Metals or contaminants detected through third party laboratories
• Award Winning Purity Levels
• Great Taste
• Multi patented Manufacturing Process to preserve quality and freshness 
• True Triglyceride form for better absorption
  
  

After contacting them  Nordic Naturals offered to send me a bottle of their Complete Omega to review.  The  Complete Omega comes in a bottle of 60 for $18.95.  That is pretty much what you pay for the higher quality fish oils in the store but I will say that they don't have the guarantees that Nordic Naturals provides.  The Complete Omega provides the below

 

The perfect balanced combination—a healthy balance
of omegas 3, 6, and 9

Supports heart and brain health, and healthy skin*

 Original research on Complete Omega™ has
shown that it supports normal function of the brain in
young children*

Formerly Complete Omega-3.6.9™, Complete Omega™ is a non-concentrated formula that blends EPA and DHA from coldwater fish with GLA from borage oil and omega-9. This omega-rich blend supports cardiovascular health, brain function, and positive mood, as well as healthy joints, hair, skin, and nails.*

We have been taking it for two weeks now and I can say that the taste is worlds above my other high quality fish oil supplement.  I feel much better knowing that these supplements are pure and uncontaminated by heavy metals.  Also as it provides a high dose of the omega's I know I'm not just pouring money into something that really isn't absorb able or low in the actual nutrients I'm paying for.  I will be buying Nordic Naturals in the future!  I would recommend these to anyone looking for the highest quality Omega supplements.
