Learn More about Omega 3 & E

Omega 3 & E is a unique product containing eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) – important usable forms of essential omega-3 fatty acids – as well as mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols (Full-Spectrum Vitamin E). We added to it Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) – an important essential omega-6 fatty acid that when combined with EPA promotes beneficial prostaglandins to enhance the anti-inflammatory response. The EPA and DHA are derived from marine lipids using a flash molecular distillation process. The mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols (Full-Spectrum Vitamin E) are derived from rice bran and are included in the soft-gel capsules to provide antioxidant protection to these polyunsaturated oils both within the bottle and within the body. The GLA is derived from cold pressed borage seed oil.

Most commercially available vitamin E is in the d-alpha tocopherol form or dl-alpha tocopherol (synthetic) form and can deliver only a fraction of the benefits of full-spectrum vitamin E. Full-spectrum vitamin E is a critically important phytonutrient. It consists of eight naturally occurring isomers, a family of four tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta), and four tocotrienol (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) homologues.

Tocotrienols are in the class of vitamin E compounds along with tocopherols . They consist of a double-ring structure called the chromanol head and an isoprenoid tail (similar to co-enzyme Q10). Depending on whether the chromanol head has three, two, or one methyl groups attached and where these groups are attached, they are called alpha, gamma, delta, or beta tocotrienols/tocopherols. The major difference between the tocotrienols and the tocopherols is that the tail is saturated in the case of the tocopherols but is polyunsaturated in the case of the tocotrienols.

As with the fatty acids, a polyunsaturated structure means that the molecule is more reactive and more fluid. This means, for example, that alpha tocotrienol would be much more protective of cell membranes than alpha tocopherol and would more easily be regenerated by vitamin C. In fact, research has shown that in cell membranes alpha tocotrienol is 40–60 times more protective against free radicals than alpha tocopherol, leading to the conclusion that rice-bran tocotrienols are more potent than tocotrienols from palm oil because of rice bran's higher concentrations of alpha tocotrienols. Other research has shown that gamma tocotrienol enzymatically blocks the synthesis of cholesterol . In addition to the above, tocotrienols have the following qualities:

• May reduce arterial plaques and enhance blood flow
• Are potent inhibitors of platelet aggregation and thromboxane
• Protect serum lipids from oxidation, including LDL and HDL
• Reduce carotid stenosis (narrowing) and may help prevent stroke
• Serve as a trap to harmful nitrogenous radicals
• Are anti-proliferative and anti-cancer agents
• Provide powerful oxidative defense for the skin

When EPA is present, GLA is known to convert into the most anti-inflammatory prostaglandins (prostaglandin-1) and to inhibit the conversion of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins (arachidonic acid).

GLA may be a useful adjunct in protocols that deal with multiple sclerosis and arthritis. Research has indicated that in a balanced formula, EPA, DHA, and GLA act synergistically. For example, it is known that EPA inhibits the conversion of GLA into arachidonic acid, which causes pain and is pro-inflammatory. Because these fatty acids have many double bonds that are prone to oxidation both in the bottle and in the body, we have ensured that Omega 3 & E contains a complete range of vitamin E in the form of mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols.
