Omega-3 IFOS™ 60 softgels YAMAMOTO

Omega-3 IFOS™ is the Yamamoto® Research supplement based on IFOS™ certified fish oil, in triglyceride form, highly concentrated and purified through a molecular distillation process. Fish oil is rich in fatty acids Omega-3 , like EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), essential nutrients to support the Heart, joint, brain, and eye health . Regular intake of purified fish oil offers numerous health benefits: it reduces 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). Obtaining the 5-star IFOS™ certification guarantees the highest purity and quality on the market, and Omega-3 IFOS™ is the benchmark product in the fish oil-derived Omega-3 market.

Most organic substances can undergo alterations if treated at high temperatures for a long time: for this reason Yamamoto Research has decided to use a production process for the production of Omega-3 IFOS™ that is able to protect the raw material used, i.e. the molecular distillation . Distillation is in fact a process to which certain substances are subjected to increase its purity . This innovative distillation technique allows us to operate at particularly low temperatures and at the same time reduces the contact time with the hot surfaces of the distiller.

To achieve these characteristics, distillers must operate at very low pressure, improve vapor flow, and optimize heat exchange within the still. Extracting Omega 3s with these techniques yields higher-quality active ingredients and allows the fish oil to have a neutral flavor, leaving no fishy aftertaste.

What is fish oil? And where is it obtained?
Fish oil is an oil rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids obtained from fatty fish such as sardines, mackerel, and salmon.
Its production process requires two essential steps: the extraction of the oil from the starting material and its purification.

What is fish oil purified from?
In addition to omega-3 fatty acids, it contains a variable amount of compounds, such as hydrocarbons, long-chain alcohols, waxes, and esters, which can influence the properties of fish oil.
Purification allows you to eliminate all unwanted substances, but must ensure that the desired components are not damaged.
The final product is a source of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids concentrated to provide 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:

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

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

• The joint support , because they reduce inflammation and joint pain, improving overall joint health;

• There eye health , because they prevent age-related macular degeneration;

• There skin health , because they can help keep it clear, prevent acne, inflammation and premature aging.

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

What does fit mean? triglyceride ?

Omega-3 fish oil is available in two forms: triglyceride or ethyl ester. Triglyceride fish oil is in its natural form , and has a much greater bioavailability compared to Omega 3 obtained from ethyl esters.
This means that the EPA and DHA in triglyceride fish oil can be absorbed in greater amounts, and used more effectively by the body, than they can in ethyl ester fish oil.
One study showed that Omega 3s in the triglyceride form resulted 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 with ethyl esters oxidizes, and therefore degrades, much more quickly and easily than fish oil with triglycerides.

What does IFOS™ certification mean?
The most famous Quality certification is the one represented by the brand IFOS (International Fish Oil Standards). IFOS is essentially an analysis protocol released by an independent body (Nutrasource Diagnostics Inc.) based at the University of Guelph in Canada, which has the most expensive and advanced technologies necessary to test the quality of Omega 3.

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

The IFOS database is accessible to anyone at any time, so it's always possible to check whether the brand of the supplement we're interested in is listed, as well as whether the production batch of the Omega 3 package we're about to purchase is listed.
If the batch is present in the IFOS website database, we can be sure we've purchased a pure, uncontaminated supplement, without any risk to our health. Find IFOS-certified products here:
