World's Best Fish Oil? Vital Choice Salmon Oil!

Vital Choice Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon Oil softgels contains only whole, unrefined, "virgin" oil from this fish of renowned purity.
 
Unlike standard fish oils, our naturally pure Sockeye Oil does not need to be chemically refined, and it's inherent purity is certified by NSF.

As a result, our whole, unrefined oil retains all of the omega-3s, vitamin D, fatty acids, and antioxidants natural to sockeye salmon. And its bright orange hue comes from astaxanthin: a potent carotene-class pigment that protects our Sockeye Oil's omega-3s from oxidation.
 
Last but not least, ours was the first Salmon Oil certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council.

We encapsulate our Salmon Oil in pure fish gelatin, and offer special varieties for special needs:

Small Softgels - 500mg
• 
Liquid Salmon Oil - A pill-free option
Lemon-Flavored Salmon Oil - For folks who experience "bounce-back".
Certified for Sport Salmon Oil + Vitamin D - For pros and amateurs.

The World's Best Omega-3 Blood Test
 
If you measure it, you can manage it ... your critical “omega balance”, that is! 
 
We worked with top scientists to provide an at-home omega-3/6 blood test based on cutting edge research.
 
Our Vital Omega 3 and 6 HUFA Test is one of the best health investments you will ever make!

 

• Easy at-home test

• Results in 3 weeks

• Reveals omega-3/6 levels

• Gives your heart-risk grade 


World's First Certified-Sustainable Krill Oil
 
Vital Red™ is the world's first certified-sustainable Wild Antarctic Krill Oil!
 
We source it from a unique, high-tech fishery ... the only one to meet the tough, science-based standards of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
 
 
Pure, unrefined, Vital Red™ provides essential omega-3s in a rare “phospholipid” form, as well as unrivaled levels of antioxidants. Phospholipid-form omega-3s may be better-absorbed and provide enhanced benefits in key health contexts.

 

Omega-3s Linked to Healthy Heart Beats
Extra-reliable study links higher omega-3 levels to a 30% drop in the risk of A-fib … the most common kind of erratic heart rhythm
by Craig Weatherby

Omega-3s are clinically proven to reduce the risk of “sudden cardiac death” … the kind that accounts for about one-half of all heart-related deaths.
 
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) usually occurs because a person’s heart rhythms go awry, causing the heart to stop pumping suddenly.
 
And the immediate cause of SCD can be an episode of atrial fibrillation or “A-fib”.
 
Some research suggests that people who eat ample fish – or take omega-3 fish oil – have a lower risk of developing atrial fibrillation.
 
Now, a new study from the Harvard School of Public Health indicates that DHA – one of two major omega-3s in fish oil, along with EPA – may help prevent A-fib.
 
Omega-3 DHA is concentrated in heart muscles’ cell membranes, and ...

Tween-age Girls Hurt by Multitasking & Media
Too much screen time can be detrimental to girls 8 to 12 years old, but face-to-face talks could save the day
by Craig Weatherby

Click for full story and link to printer friendly version
Three years ago, we reported on research from Stanford University, which found that switching repeatedly among several streams of electronic information incurs mental performance costs
 
As the authors said then, “Attention, multi-taskers (if you can pay attention, that is): Your brain may be in trouble”. (See “Multi-taskers May Pay a Big Performance Price”.)
 
Now some of the same Stanford scientists have published the results of a related study in female “tweenagers” – girls aged 8 to 12 years – who spend many hours watching videos and multitasking with digital devices.
 
Alarmingly, the Stanford findings suggest that these girls tend to be less successful with social and emotional ...
