Vitality Coldwater Omega-3®
Supports cognitive, eye, and cardiovascular health*
Contains the research-recommended balance of DHA:EPA (2:1) at the recommended dose (930 mg DHA and EPA)
Sourced from coldwater fish
What Makes It Different?
Vitality Coldwater Omega-3® derives its power from the research-recommended source of omega-3s—pure coldwater fish. Vitality Coldwater Omega-3® also includes the ideal balance of DHA and EPA (2:1) at the right dose (930 mg) in just two little capsules that make supporting optimal health easy for anyone to swallow.
Why Is That Important?
Omega-3s are a family of unsaturated fatty acids that are critical for the normal production and functioning of cells, muscles, nerves, and organs. Fatty acids are also required for the production of hormone-like compounds that help regulate blood pressure, heart rate, and blood clotting. And because the human body cannot create these fatty acids on its own, they must be obtained through diet and supplementation.
Although omega-3 fatty acids have been recognized as essential to normal growth and health since the 1930s, awareness of their specific health benefits has dramatically increased in the past few years. Omega-3s are now linked to a variety of benefits, including the support of:
Brain health—omega-3s naturally support cognitive health, including mental acuity1 and mood *
Eye health—omega-3s naturally support proper vision2 as well as eye stamina*
Cardiovascular health—omega-3s have been shown to help reduce triglycerides3 and help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease†
It Works Because…
Omega-3s from coldwater fish are some of the most beneficial natural nutrients. While coldwater fish are not the only source of omega-3s, they are the preferred choice for two key reasons:
1. Concentration—the concentration of omega-3s is higher in coldwater fish than almost any other source, giving you more benefit in fewer capsules.
2. Ideal form—DHA and EPA are the forms most easily used by the body. Many plants contain ALA omega-3s, which the body can convert to EPA and to a lesser extent DHA, but the process is extremely slow and inefficient.
All the Benefits Without the Contaminants
While coldwater fish are the ideal source for omega-3s, many health specialists warn against eating fish more than 2–3 times a week because of the potential risk of mercury or PCB contamination. The fish oil in Vitality Coldwater Omega-3® comes from salmon caught in Alaska using American fishing boats, and is made, purified, and inspected in the U.S.A. to contain no contaminants or allergens such as wheat, corn, milk, yeast, egg, glutens, artificial colors or flavors, or added sugar or starch.
What Does It Take to Get the Same Level of Omega-3s?
To get the same levels of DHA and EPA found in Vitality Coldwater Omega-3® (660 mg DHA, 270 mg EPA) you would have to consume one of the following amounts of fish every day:š
84 oz. of tilapia
31 oz. of clams
21 oz. of lobster
21 oz. of scallops
18 oz. of cod
18 oz. of haddock
18 medium-size raw oysters
12 oz. catfish
10 oz. tuna
10 sardines
6 oz. of trout
3 oz. of salmon

† Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. A daily dose of Vitality Coldwater Omega-3® (2 softgels) supplies 930 mg of EPA and DHA.
