One LipoGuard capsule taken daily with food or as professionally directed

• Fish oil concentrate supplies a good source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, two essential fatty acids that help maintain joint mobility and provide vital substrates for the development and maintenance of brain function and nerve supply

• Limonene is commonly found in orange, lemon and grapefruit peel and it has been well researched for its antioxidant activity in helping maintain cell membranes against lipid peroxidation (free radical damage)

• Alpha Lipoic Acid is a natural antioxidant that helps the body utilise and recycle other antioxidants, extending their biological life

• Phosphatidylserine is a natural compound found in soy foods and is associated with the maintenance of brain and neurological function and the maintenance of memory recall

• Lycopene is a naturally occurring carotenoid and is commonly associated with the red pigmentation found in tomatoes. Lycopene helps quench free radicals

• Lutein helps maintain visual acuity

• CoQ10 helps with the release of energy from foods

• Rosemary oil is a more effective antioxidant than vitamins C and E

• Encapsulated in light protective non-bovine, fish gel chlorophyll capsules

Fatty acids are the basic structural units of lipids, which are dietary fats.  The body can synthesize many fatty acids, but those that cannot be manufactured in adequate amounts must be obtained from the diet.  These are called essential fatty acids (EFAs).

Fatty acids are classified as saturated, monosaturated or polyunsaturated – depending on the amount of hydrogen in the basic carbon chain of the molecule.

(The process of ‘hydrogenation’ – hydrogenated vegetable oil – involves adding hydrogen to the molecule to make a polyunsaturated, liquid oil, into a saturated, solid oil, such as margarine). 

Many nutritionists and scientists report Americans consume too much omega-6 fatty acids and under-consume omega-3 fatty acids.  (The terms omega-3 and omega-6 refer to the location of the first double bond in the carbon atom of the fatty acid molecule.)  Including more omega-3-rich foods such as fish in the diet and decreasing the consumption of omega-6 foods such as some hydrogenated oils, may help maintain proper hormonal balance and overall health and wellness.

Essential fatty acids offer profound benefits.  They help:

• Influence hormone production, immunity and cardiovascular health.

• Maintain the structure and function of the cellular and sub-cellular membranes.

• Regulate cholesterol transport, degradation and removal from the body.

• Influence prostaglandins – hormone-like substances that promote smooth muscle contractions, regulate blood pressure, regulate gastric secretions, and impact other hormones – through a series of enzyme-dependent reactions.

• Support normal growth, especially of blood vessels and nerves.

• Keep skin and other tissue youthful and supple by lubricating abilities.

EFAs are most abundant in fish oils and unadulterated seed oils, such as canola, sunflower and safflower oils.  Flaxseed oil is an exceptional oil, containing both omega-3 and omega-6 in appreciable amounts.  Cold saltwater fatty fish – such as herring, haddock, cod, mackerel, and salmon – are also rich in omega-3 polyunsaturates and serve as the source of fish oil supplements.

The most important fatty acids are linoleic acid, linolenic acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
