Dear Ritch,
Each of my Omegabrite capsules contains the following:
EPA 375mg (I rounded up in my previous post)
DHA 55mg
Other Omega 3 fatty acids 90mg
Omega 6 fatty acids 60mg
Other fatty acids 60mgThe oil is not enteric coated, it is manufactured in a way that eliminates the aftertaste. Here is a quote from their literature:
"OmegaBrite is extremely pure, undergoing two molecular distillations to remove any potential heavy metals or toxins and to obtain the maximum concentration of EPA. OmegaBrite is manufactured in a nitrogen environment, then flushed with nitrogen to ensure that the Omega 3 oil is potent and to prevent oxidation that occures when Omega-3 oils are exposed to oxygen in the air. OmegaBrite is manufactured at FDA approved pharmaceutical facilities that adhere to Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP)."
This brand is supposed to be unique and unlike other brands in that it provides 90% pure Omega-3, over three times the concentration of most major brands. More info from lit.:
"OmegaBrite contains the EPD-7510 extract, specially formulated by doctors to effectively elevate mood and promote emotional and physical well-being. EPD-7510 contains the highest ratio of EPA relative to DHA, a 7:1 raatio. No other Omega-3 product from fish oil even approaches this optimum figure, which is preferred by many of the most prominent Omega-3 researchers. Omega-3 from flaxseed oil contains no EPA or DHA and has not been proven in clinical trials."
I take 6 capsules of OmegaBrite daily, along w/ a multi-vitamin, 400mg vitamin E, 100mg vitamin B Complex, and 1g vitamin C (the powder, dissolved in water).
The cost per capsule is approx. 38 cents each.
I swear to God I'm not trying to sell this stuff. Just sharing information... This is the brand my pdoc recommended and after checking it out, I think it is pretty good. I order 120 capsules per month and the total cost including shipping is $46. I signed up for an automatic shipment each month so I save 10%.
Love and luck,
Carly
