Product description

Omegacin+™ is a complete essential omega 3-6-9 fatty acid and lipid complex to help you function like a well-oiled machine and provide you with these "smart fats" to lube your body's engine.

Lipids are the primary structural components of all cell walls and membranes, composing some 50% of the dry weight of the brain. Lack of these fats leads to cardiovascular, neurological and dermalogical problems. Since the continuous demand for these membrane lipids isn't being met by today's low-fat, over-processed diet, supplementation of "smart fats" is more important than ever.

Why are lipids and essential fatty acids (EFAs) so essential for good health?

Most of us are aware that oil is a necessary “part” of any car’s engine, without which it could not function. Just as a car needs the essential “part” of oil to protect the engine while running, so does our body need lipids to run efficiently. The family of lipids (or fats) and essential fatty acids (EFAs) are all interrelated, often functioning and acting as if they were one mechanism, one “part” of the body. And like oil is to a car’s engine, lipids and EFAs are essential biological substances of our body, without which we could not live or function.

What do lipids and EFAs specifically do for you?

Lipids and EFAs are exceptionally important, serving essential, and indeed imperative roles throughout the body’s biochemistry for our health and welfare. Lipids are the primary structural components of all cell walls and membranes of the body, composing some 50% of the dry weight of the brain, and 5-10% of all other cells.

And, most cells continually degrade and replace these membrane lipids, so there is a continuous demand for them. Other lipids and EFAs allow brain and neural function, maintenance and growth, interference of which leads to major neurological disorders, enzyme deficiencies and skin disorders of all types. Most of all lipids and fatty acids are necessary for cardiovascular (eg.: cardiolipin), neurological and dermatological health (eg.: linoleic and linolenic acids).

Comparison of animal/vegetable and saturated/ unsaturated fat consumption in the United States

Although between 1950 and 1990, the total consumption of fat has risen little, consumption patterns for animal and vegetable fats have shifted dramatically. But even though more, supposedly healthy, vegetable fats are now being consumed, 40% of these are hydrogenated (and become saturated), and many naturally contain high levels of saturated fats as well, both of which change the all important P/S ratio (polyunsaturated to saturated fat) for the worse.

Unfortunately, the hydrogenated fats we consume today are of a form which cannot be processed by the body to yield the essential omega 3-6-9 fatty acids. Thus, we have exchanged animal fat consumption for a type of vegetable fat which serves us less efficiently and proves to be even more detrimental to our health, providing less EFAs than we need. Indeed, the P/S ratios in the 1950's were more appropriate than they are now and cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders are again on the rise.

Can't my body or diet supply all the fatty acids I need?

No. Whereas plants are able to manufacture all the fatty acids they need, humans and animals are not so lucky. We cannot manufacture needed EFAs, but must regularly supplement them in our diet. And diet alone is generally insufficient in supplying the EFAs and lipids necessary because of how fats are overly processed today (e.g. hydrogenation).

A Cross Section of a Typical LDL-Cholesterol Molecule

It's now thought that "trans" fatty acids (or those fats which have been hydrogenated) increase LDL (bad) cholesterol while reducing HDL (good) cholesterol and may also be linked to the mechanisms which cause cholesterol plaque to be laid down in the arteries and veins. Such an increase in this form of fat causes a decrease in body pH (a more acidic blood plasma) which subsequently creates an environment that is a catalyst for cholesterol plaque buildup.

What happens when I don’t have enough EFAs?

Without sufficient lipid and EFA supplementation, our health would quickly fail us. Lacking these in our diet, we unwittingly open the door to a number of health complications, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurological problems (Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Menkes Disease (MD), etc.), extensive and unrelenting weight problems, diabetes and insulin mismanagement of carbohydrates and proteins, slower immune response-times, increased sickness and disease, and alarming premature, accelerated aging within every biological system in our body. The bottom line is that without essential lipids and EFAs, we will look and feel 20 years older than we should.

Aren’t fats from vegetables better than animal fats?

No, not really. It’s been wrongly promoted that all animal fat is “bad” because it is “saturated,” while all vegetable/plant oils are “good” because they’re “polyunsaturated.” Well, this just isn’t true. Plants yield both saturated and unsaturated fats, and although most have a greater proportion of polyunsaturated fats, there are some which contain a majority of saturated fats, such as palm and coconut oils. Animal fats, too, contain both saturated and unsaturated kinds, and although these generally contain more saturated fats, there are some which contain higher levels of polyunsaturated fats such as cod liver oil. Furthermore, a diet which includes both saturated and polyunsaturated fats is more healthy than one which does not. Moreover, both plant and animal sources of fat/lipids will yield those same EFAs upon which we depend for life.

But isn't it healthy to stay away from all kinds of fats, especially the saturated kind?

No, not at all. It’s now abundantly clear that both unsaturated and saturated fatty acids are necessary for good health as they are our only sources of EFAs. Further, it is the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fats which is now considered important -- a 2:1 ratio being ideal. Major research studies have revealed that a diet depleted of saturated fats actually leads to increased cholesterol levels, the formation of gallstones, carcinogenic activities and the production of more heart lesions, as compared to animals fed on diets of pure beef fat, butter, chicken fat or lard! Believe it or not, from a view of obtaining the EFAs, fresh lard (from which the essential fatty acid linoleic acid can be derived) is actually healthier for us than the hydrogenated fats in vegetable shortening. Butter, too, is much more nutritionally specific and useful in this regard than margarine.

But can’t fats of any kind dangerously increase my LDL-cholesterol levels?

Not as much as we once thought. Indeed, major studies have now proven that reducing cholesterol levels simply by cutting out the fat in our diets may even lead to higher risks of cancer of the lungs, pancreas, cervix and bladder (e.g. the recent U.S. Govt. MRFIT study involving 12,000 men and women). We now know that if the body doesn’t get the right amount and kind of fatty acids, it will actually make more of its own cholesterol so as to ensure that its quota for essential cholesterol is filled.

Where can I find the EFAs and lipids I need?

All EFAs and essential lipids are supplied in Omegacin+™. Just 2-4 capsules everyday is all that you need.

Key ingredients of Omegacin+™:

Phospholipid complex:

Precursors to neurotransmitters that help increase neural density and connectivity, improving the integrity of membrane-messenger function in the brain.

38 Essential fatty acids:

38 Essential fatty acids serve as precursors to prostaglandins and other eicosanoids that affect blood aggregation, vasodilation and vasoconstriction; are essential for the development and function of brain and retina cells, as well as sperm formation; and play a vital role in the structure of all cell membranes, including the skin.

Phytosterols:

Phytosterols are naturally occuring steroids that enhance the growth and regeneration of cells.

Bile acids:

Bile acids are powerful emulsifying agents not only essential for lipid digestion but critically important for their assimilation, expediting the absorption of the nutritionally edifying pieces of broken-down lipids.

Suma:

Suma (Pfaffia Paniculata) is an antioxidant enhancing the immune system's ability to recognize and control the invasion of foreign entities; also demonstrates anti-atherosclerotic and antiinflammatory effects.

Free form amino acids:

Free Form Amino Acids (like L-Glycine and L-Taurine) act to reduce lipid synthesis in the liver, and enhance fat metabolism in the mitochondria, which in turn aids in the further reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood plasma.

Co-Enzyme Q10:

Co-Enzyme Q10 strengthens and protects the heart against cardiovascular disorders and heart disease/stroke; cardiac patients specifically show CoQ10 deficiencies of between 50-75% within the heart itself.

DMG:

DMG (N,N-dimethylglycine) stimulates oxidative enzyme activities and inhibits cholesterol and triglyceride synthesis.

DMAE:

DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol, DMAE bitartrate) and an enzyme complex helps prevent fats from oxidizing, and helps dissolve fats in protein-fat complexes (the precursors of plaque) in the bloodstream.

DMAE [(CH₃)₂NH.CH₃CH₂OH)] is a free radical chain transfer agent, slowing the aging of the central nervous system, as well as preventing the formation of other possible contaminants and age pigments such as ceroid (which accumulates in the liver) and amyloid (which is known to attack the Central Nervous System of Alzheimer's victims).

It also reverses the production of lipofuscin (or age/liver spots in the skin and nervous system), as well as preventing fatty acids from becoming oxidized and rancid. Lipofuscin appears to both directly and indirectly inhibit dopamine (dopamine is one of the 3 major neurotransmitters of the brain), production and transmission. Thus, DMAE has more antiaging properties which not only prevents aging, but as in the case of age spots, can actually reverse the occurrence of aging, than most other Vitamins and antioxidants.

Pycnogenol®:

Pycnogenol® (Oligomeric proanthocyanidins) is a patented antioxidant proven effective in restoring small capillary health throughout the body and the brain, allowing increased circulation and oxygen to the periphery.

Pycnogenol®, a patented select group of water-soluble polyphenols produced by Horphag Research, Ltd., Pycnogenol® contains a selective array of water soluble (which makes them very bioavailable) polyphenols called Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPC's), (the active ingredients are catechins, epicatechins, their dimers and oligomers, and organic acids. The most potent antiradicals are the dimeric proanthocyanidins (PACs), built from the catechins and the epicatechins) derived from white pine bark containing powerful antioxidants useful for the strengthening of blood capillaries throughout the body. Pycnogenol® is 80% to 85% PACs, 5% catechin and epicatechin, and 2%-4% organic acids including caffeic acid (onions), ferulic acid (found in spinach and parsley), fumaric acid (chives and beet root) and gallic acid (eggplant), vanillic acid, taxifolin, protocateuhuic acid and cinnamic acid.

Research confirms that Pycnogenol® is around 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E in its antioxidant properties, and 20 times more powerful than vitamin C. The body cannot manufacture OPC's- polyphenols and must obtain them from foods. However, most polyphenols, including OPC's, bioflavonoids and flavanols, are derived from foods are not water soluble, and thus are harder to assimilate. Pycnogenol® is water soluble and thus arguably more powerful. OPC's and bioflavonoids with vitamin C work together in keeping the intracellular cement (collagen) in a healthy condition. They also increase the strength of capillaries and help to regulate their permeability. Pycnogenol® in particular has been found to be exceptionally useful for fighting against capillary fragility and varicose veins, diabetic retinopathy, swollen legs and other inflammatory conditions in veins and capillaries.

Micro-nutritionals:

Specifically targeted micro-nutritionals, vitamins and other nutrients aid the body's ability to the strengthen and regenerate the endomembrane structure, helping to protect against pollutants and toxins.
