How many grams of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids are found in a single capsule of SeaLogiX™?

Each SeaLogiX™ capsule contains 600 mg. of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. This is twice the amount found in health-food grade fish oil capsules. Four SeaLogiX™ capsules supply 2.4 grams of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids.

How many grams of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids in a teaspoon of SeaLogiX™ fish oil liquid?

One teaspoon of liquid SeaLogiX™ contains 2.7 grams of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. This is slightly more than one tablespoon of cod liver oil. This is equivalent to taking nine (9) capsules of typical health-food grade fish oil. Each teaspoon of SeaLogiX™ contains 1800 mg. (1.8 g) of EPA and 900 mg. (0.9 g) of DHA.

Why this particular ratio of EPA and DHA?

The 2:1 ratio of EPA and DHA in SeaLogiX™ is virtually the same as that used in all scientific studies conducted with ultra refined fish oil reporting clinical benefits.  Your healthcare professional will be very glad to hear this 2:1 ratio!

How much SeaLogiX™ fish oil should I take?

The suggested maintenance dose is 2.5 grams of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids each day. This dosage represents either four SeaLogiX™ capsules or one teaspoon of the liquid SeaLogiX™.  Most individuals will find that the capsules are the preferred choice for daily supplementation.  Individuals who select the liquid SeaLogiX
are those who may require higher amounts of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids and find daily compliance easier than taking large amounts of capsules. 
 

Why is SeaLogiX™ the best value?

Manufacturing ultra refined fish oil requires extensive purification. In fact, it takes 100 gallons of health-food grade fish oil to make one gallon of ultra refined fish oil. Only ultra-refined material makes high-dose supplementation possible due to lack of toxins or gastric distress common with other fish oils at recommended dose levels.  SeaLogiX™ goes beyond molecular distillation -- SeaLogiX™ Ultra Refined Fish Oil is fractionally distilled for best purity and lack of toxins.  And SeaLogiX™ Ultra Refined Fish Oil is from all-wild-source fish oil!

How should I store the SeaLogiX™ Fish Oil capsules?

Soft gelatin capsules are best stored between 59 and 75 degrees in a dry, dark container. This is why each container contains an absorbent to maintain a defined degree of humidity. The shelf life of the capsules is two years under these conditions.

How should I store the SeaLogiX™ Fish Oil liquid?

After opening the liquid SeaLogiX™, carefully remove the plug, and then discard it. Put the bottle in the freezer to maintain its potency. When taking the bottle from the freezer allow it to set for 1-2 minutes.  Always shake the container well before using to better disperse the flavor. The liquid SeaLogiX™ has a one-year shelf life under these conditions.

What makes a fish oil "ultra refined"?

According to Dr. Sears, ultra refined fish oil has some very distinct characteristics:  The concentration of EPA and DHA must be more than 60%; the concentration of PCB's must be less than 45 ppb/g; the concentration of Dioxins must be less than 1 ppt and the concentration of Mercury must be less than 10 ppb (parts per billion).

SeaLogiX™ goes beyond molecular distillation -- SeaLogiX™ Ultra Refined Fish Oil is fractionally distilled for best purity and lack of toxins.  And SeaLogiX™ Ultra Refined Fish Oil is all-wild-source fish oil and is virtually toxin-free!

What does liquid SeaLogiX™ taste like?

Liquid SeaLogiX™ has remarkably little taste or odor, especially when kept in the freezer.
However, here are some additional tips to improve taste:

Eat a small piece of citrus fruit (lime, lemon, or orange) with the oil. The citrus flavor will mask any residual taste.
Have a sip of a cup of decaffeinated coffee with the liquid SeaLogiX™.  Or simply mix with your orange juice.

Make a Big Brain Shake with 2 cups of berries, 30 grams of protein powder and 1-3 teaspoons of SeaLogiX™ Fish Oil liquid. The protein powder will emulsify the oil, plus you instantly create a Zone meal that includes your daily supplementation with SeaLogiX fish oil!
