MOOD - omega-3 fish oil for brain health*

Triple Molecular Distillation for High Purity and Peace of Mind

"as pure as it gets*"

Our MOOD is an unparalleled blend of Omega 3 fatty acids, with high levels of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and ample amounts of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). MOOD is derived from concentrated, molecularly distilled fish oil, free of potentially harmful contaminants.

Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids are termed “essential” to human health because the body cannot produce them, therefore they must be obtained from food. They can be found in various fish such as salmon and tuna, and in other marine life such as algae, krill, some plants and nut oils. Omega-3 fatty acids play a critical role in optimum brain function, heart health and normal growth and development.

Fats comprise the majority of the brain and nerves that govern every system in the body. Studies reveal that Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce the brain inflammation associated with cognitive decline, and accumulating evidence also suggests that diets which include Omega-3 fatty acids protect against the development of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Why does MOOD contain higher levels of DHA than EPA?
Both EPA and DHA support heart health, but DHA is the primary structural component of brain tissue. DHA fat enhances the synaptic plasticity (ability between two neurons to change in strength) of membranes. It stands to reason that a deficiency of DHA also adversely affects brain function. Research is increasingly recognizing the possibility that DHA has a crucial influence on the neurotransmitters in the brain, assisting brain cells to communicate more effectively.

Asian cultures have long appreciated the brain-building effects of DHA, and in Japan, DHA is considered such an important "health food" that students frequently take DHA pills before examinations.

The Balance of Omega-6 to Omega-3 in our diet.

While Omega-3 was abundant in our diet before the 20th century, they are now seriously lacking in the vast majority of people. With the advent of processed foods, the typical modern diet includes high amounts of corn, soybean and other oils, which are all Omega-6. But the ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 must be balanced to maintain good health and regulate a healthy inflammation response. It is estimated that the typical American diet contains 11-30 times more Omega-6 than Omega-3 fats and many experts suggest a 1:1 ratio is optimal. Heavily processed foods are pro-inflammatory. This extreme imbalance poses numerous health risks, including a decline in brain function and poor cardiovascular health.

When the cells of the human body are deprived of the essential fatty acids they need to grow and function, the cells will attempt to build replacement fatty acids from inferior fats, but these may actually be harmful. Higher blood levels of "replacement fatty acids" are associated with diets high in hydrogenated (chemical reduction) fats and excessive amounts of Omega-6 fatty acids. Some studies have shown high levels of these replacement fatty acids in children with ADHD appear to be linked to a diet high in Omega-6.

Stages of life and Omega-3
DHA plays a pivotal role in brain development of infants and children and is essential for communication between neurons.  Omega-3 is critical for pregnant women since their bodies are robbed at a high rate via the placenta to help form the baby’s brain, eyes, nerves and cellular membranes. Breast-feeding steals even more Omega-3 oils from the woman’s body because it is used to form milk.  Omega-3 oils are an essential component to postnatal nutrient replenishment, and DHA is also a fundamental requirement to support the brain later in life. The brain is constantly restructured throughout the aging process, even into the extremes of old age. Unfortunately, because of food-processing methods and the industrial harvesting of animals as meat sources, most omega-3 fatty acids have been removed from our foods, and although the body naturally produces tiny amounts of DHA, the vast majority must come from Omega-3 supplements or our diet.

Types of Omega-3 fatty acids:
There are three types of Omega 3 fatty acids: docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). DHA remains the most important brain fat throughout life since it is critical for the brain, eyes and nervous system, and will also convert to EPA. The less expensive EPA portion of Omega-3 has been the primary focus of most fish oils and is essential to cardiovascular health and the ability to burn stored body fat. ALA must convert to EPA and DHA. However, the conversion rate is notoriously low, making it difficult to obtain adequate EPA and DHA from ALA foods such as walnuts and flaxseed alone. In 2002, the British Journal of Nutrition published several studies that indicated the conversion rates of ALA for women averaged 36% while men only converted 16%. But health challenges such as diabetes limit one’s capacity to convert ALA to the necessary EPA and DHA. Therefore obtaining these essential fatty acids from plant sources alone can leave many deficient.

EPA and DHA are most commonly sourced from marine life, including fish and krill, and fish become rich in DHA by eating algae or other marine life that have fed on algae. Fish have already completed the conversion to EPA and DHA, making them readily available to the human body.

Distilling Omega-3 to remove pollutants

With polluted waters becoming commonplace, the highly distilled processing in MOOD Omega-3 ensures purity.  MOOD uses a state-of-the-art proprietary purification technology with a minimum of three “molecular distillation” processes to ensure pollutants and toxins have been removed.  MOOD contains only superior grade fish oil – we refuse the fish that many other Omega-3 oils contain.
