Wild Alaskan Salmon: Best Source of
Pure,
Whole-Food Fish Oil
By Christine Dreher, CCN, CCH
 We
know that Wild Alaskan Salmon is one of the healthiest fish we can eat
for our health and that it provides one of the best sources of
Essential Fatty Acids (EFA). So what would be the best source for a
pure and naturally processed fish oil supplement? Wild Alaskan salmon
fish oil, of course!
Wholemega by New Chapter is sourced from 100% sustainably
caught Alaskan wild salmon. Wholemega provides a new, extra-virgin,
whole-food approach to fish oil because it is not overly processed
like the other numerous fractionated, highly processed and “purified”
fish oils on the market today. Instead, WholeMega fish oil is
immediately cold pressed from Alaska’s wild salmon, just like extra
virgin olive oil, so you get the purity and benefits nature created
without chemical processing. Every batch of Wholemega is rigorously
tested to ensure each capsule delivers Nature’s bioavailable,
effective, and whole profile of nature’s optimal balance of 16 Omegas
fatty acids and other important nutrients such as vitamin D, and
powerful antioxidants like Astaxanthin.
Alaska maintains one of the worlds most highly
protected and managed natural fisheries and has outlawed salmon fish
farming, so the pristine, protected waters of Alaska provide one the
world’s cleanest and most pure fish stocks. Since
Wholemega contains only wild, sustainably caught Alaskan
salmon, chemical processing to deliver a pure wild salmon oil product
is simply not necessary. The wild salmon oil in Wholemega is so pure
and untainted, it is delivered from a “food grade,” government
inspected facility. Since Wholemega is a “food grade oil,” it is
extensively tested for detectable contaminants that other fish oil
products must “purify” or distill out.
 Other
“purified” fish oils manufacturers take a different, more processed
approach. Because they often source a variety of different fish
species with varying levels of beneficial Omegas and ship these fish
long distances before processing, they need to be “purified” in order
to deliver an acceptable product. Unfortunately this purification
process involves the use of complex, high heat processes that can
break down the valuable compounds in their fish oil and they are no
longer “Food Grade”. The oils become fractionated; isolated and
important nutrients are lost including whole, natural omegas,
naturally occurring antioxidants and vitamins found in natural fish
sources. While some manufacturers will then attempt to add back
specific nutrients into their product, the benefits of the whole have
been lost.
The visual difference in fish oils is clearly
detectable. The dull, yellow color and watery texture of conventional
fish oil capsules is symbolic of “purified” products. The heavy
distillation fractionates, isolates, and destroys the many valuable
compounds that give fish oil its vibrant color and natural viscosity.
Wholemega, however, delivers a fish oil that is extraordinary
in color (similar to what you’d see in the whole salmon fillets found
in any natural fish market) and transparency. The brilliant hue in
Wholemega comes from the Astaxanthin which is a powerful antioxidant
found naturally and abundantly in wild salmon and is retained in this
extra virgin fish oil. The gentle process used to extract the wild
salmon oil for Wholemega preserves this antioxidant and numerous other
beneficial compounds and also preserves the rich natural color and
viscosity of the whole salmon oil. Again, the chemical processing in
“purified” fish oils can destroy these vital nutrients.
Natural salmon oil contains a healthy balance of
vital Omega 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9’s, often referred to as “good fats.”
These good fats, which include two essential fatty acids the human
body cannot produce on its own (EPA & DHA), serve to nourish brain,
heart, eye, and kidney tissues. They have been shown to benefit
cardiovascular, immune system, brain, and digestive health. For
optimal health, one should achieve a healthy balance between the
inflammatory Omega 6 fatty acids and anti-inflammatory Omega 3 fatty
acids. Ideally, that balance should be an equal with a 1 to 1 ratio.
But for most Americans, our highly processed and “factory farmed”
diets have skyrocketed that ratio to an unhealthy 20 to 1, which has
caused an alarming increase in the occurrence of diet-induced diseases
including cardiovascular and inflammatory conditions.
Wholemega has been clinically shown to enter cell membranes,
which allows it to provide its full beneficial effects and has been
the subject of a human clinical study demonstrating how it affects EPA
and DHA essential fatty acids in cell membranes. Wholemega has been
shown to down-regulate inflammatory Arachidonic Acid (AA), notably
improving the balance of inflammatory AA to anti-inflammatory EPA.
Preliminary data also shows Wholemega may down regulate inflammatory
markers such as LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and C-reactive protein.
New Chapter believes that Nature got it right the
first time: the world’s best fish oil doesn’t come from scientists
or a laboratory -- it comes from the world’s best fish!
Wholemega provides nourishment, protection and health that
comes from whole fish oil – not from the fractionated, isolated,
“purified” fish oils on the market today. New Chapter guarantees that
Wholemega provides an optimal purity “Food Grade” wild salmon oil
supplement.
It’s New Chapter’s promise of
healthy, and pure, food for you.
