Omega-3 IFOS™ 60 Softgels by YAMAMOTO

Omega-3 IFOS™ is a Yamamoto® Research supplement made fromIFOS™-certified fish oil in triglyceride form, which is highly concentrated and purifiedthrougha molecular distillation process. Fish oil is rich inOmega-3 fatty acids, such asEPA(eicosapentaenoic acid) andDHA(docosahexaenoic acid), essential nutrients for supportingheart, joint, brain, and eyehealth. Regular intake of purified fish oil offers several health benefits: it helps reduce inflammation, prevents the onset of cardiovascular disease, supports brain and joint health, regulates blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and maintains normal vision (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA). Achieving IFOS™ 5-star certification guarantees the highest purity and quality available on the market, and Omega-3 IFOS™ is the benchmark product in the fish oil-derived omega-3 market.

Most organic substances can undergo changes if exposed to high temperatures for long periods of time; for this reason, Yamamoto Research has chosen to use a production process capable of protecting the raw material—namely,molecular distillation—in the production of Omega-3 IFOS™. Distillation is, in fact, a process to which certain substances are subjected toincrease their purity. This innovative distillation technique allows the process to be carried out at particularly low temperatures while simultaneously reducing the time the substances are in contact with the distiller’s hot surfaces

To achieve these characteristics, distillers must operate at very low pressure, improve vapor flow, and optimize heat exchange within the distiller. Extracting omega-3s using these techniques results in higher-quality active ingredients and ensures that the fish oil has a neutral flavor, leaving no fishy aftertaste.

What is fish oil? And where does it come from?
Fish oil is an oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids obtained from fatty fish such as sardines, mackerel, and salmon.
The production process involves two essential steps: extracting the oil from the raw material and purifying it.

What is fish oil purified from?
In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, fish oil contains varying amounts of compounds such as hydrocarbons, long-chain alcohols, waxes, and esters that can affect its properties.
Purification removes all unwanted substances but must ensure that the desired components remain intact.
The final product is a concentrated source of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids, providing high doses of EPA and DHA.

What are the benefits of taking fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids?

Taking fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), can offer several health benefits. These include:

• Heart health, because omega-3s can reduce the risk of developing heart disease by lowering blood pressure and reducing blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels;

• Brain health, because they support and improve memory, mood, and concentration;

• Support for joints, as they reduce inflammation and joint pain, improving overall joint health;

• Eye health, because they help prevent age-related macular degeneration;

• Skin health, because they can help keepyour skin clean and prevent acne, inflammation, and premature aging.

In general, omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients for maintaining good health.

What does "triglyceride" mean?

Omega-3 fish oil is available in two forms: triglyceride-based or ethyl ester-based. Triglyceride-based fish oil is in itsnatural form and hasmuch higher bioavailabilitythanOmega-3s derived from ethyl esters.
This means that EPA and DHA in triglyceride-based fish oil can be absorbed in greater quantities and utilized more effectively by the body than is the case with ethyl ester-based fish oil.
One study showed that Omega-3s in triglyceride form result in 71% greater absorption than those from ethyl esters.
Another study found that free fatty acids, in the form of triglycerides, were absorbed 400% more than ethyl esters.
Furthermore, fish oil containing ethyl esters oxidizes—and therefore degrades—much more quickly and easily than fish oil containing triglycerides.

What does IFOS™ certification mean?
The best-knownquality certificationistheIFOS(International Fish Oil Standards) label. IFOS is essentially an analytical protocol issued by an independent organization (Nutrasource Diagnostics Inc.) based at the University of Guelph in Canada, which has access to the most expensive and advanced technologies required to test the quality of omega-3s.

Based on the results of its analyses, IFOS assigns a quality score to Omega-3 products and publishes the results of the tests conducted in its laboratories in its database (consumer reports).
To date, there are hundreds of Omega-3 supplements available on the market, butvery few manage to obtain IFOS certification. An IFOS-certified product is therefore a guarantee of absolute quality, at the very top of its category.

The IFOS database is accessible to anyone at any time, so you can always check whether the brand of the supplement you’re interested in is listed—and even verify the specific production batch of the Omega-3 product you’re about to purchase.
If the batch is listed in the IFOS database, you can be sure you’ve purchased a pure, uncontaminated supplement that poses no risk to your health. Find IFOS-certified products here:
