NanoEPA DHA Overview
NanoEPADHA
– How do we enjoy the many proven benefits of fish oils:
- without eating a lot of fatty fish,
- without swallowing large pills,
- or without downing fishy tasting and smelling oils?
Essential fatty acids are good fats that can only be obtained in the diet. These fatty acids effect many biological processes such as inflammation, immune and brain functions, and blood lipid levels (triglycerides).
Essential fatty acids come in two forms: omega-3 and omega-6. The dietary balance between these two fatty acids strongly affects their functions. An optimal dietary balance of omega 6 to omega 3 is recommended to be 3:1 or even lower. Unfortunately the Standard American Diet, which is rich in vegetable oils (corn, safflower, soy, sunflower) and saturated fats from grain fed livestock, will typically have a ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 of 10:1 or higher!
A diet that is deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, results in altered cell membranes. Such dysfunction at the cellular level is a critical factor in the development of chronic inflammation and chronic diseases like diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, dementia and uncontrolled cell growth.
As the main sources of EPA/DHA omega 3 fatty acids are from fatty fish like salmon, sardines or anchovies, wild game or grass fed livestock, most Americans don’t eat enough. Therefore, many health professionals recommend a dietary supplement or “functional foods” that are fortified with EPA/DHA omega 3 fatty acids as an effective strategy for optimum health.
NanoEPADHA provides this solution – with a smooth creamy taste you won’t believe!
The “secret” behind NanoEPADHA’s exceptionally smooth and extremely pleasant taste is emulsification, one of the many SuperSorb® Enhanced Delivery Systems we employ. Emulsification is a process that breaks down the nutrient oils into very small droplets, which allows all the ingredients to stay blended together. Emulsification helps create a delightful lemon meringue taste, completely free of fishy taste or after taste, while also providing a smooth creamy texture, instead of an oily one. You won’t believe its fish oil!
Even better, by breaking down the fish oil and vitamins D & E into very tiny droplets, the absorption, and therefore the health benefits, may be increased by up to 300%.
That means that just one teaspoon of NanoEPADHA can provide as much benefits as 3 standard fish oil pills plus the added benefits of vitamins D and the complete vitamin E complex!
For Example: 360 mg EPA/DHA emulsified = up to 1080 mg EPA/DHA regular fish oil!
All this in every delicious teaspoon!
Plus A High Potency Source of Natural Vitamins D3 for Bone, Heart and Immune Health
Suboptimal Vitamin D nutrition and deficiency is extremely common in much of the United States. This is especially true for darker skinned people, the elderly, persons with poor fat digestion and those living in northern climates.
The two main reasons are lack of unprotected sun exposure and the lack of fatty fish in the diet. Fatty fish is the best common dietary source of both EPA/DHA and vitamin D! So if you need EPA & DHA because your diet lacks it, unless you are getting regular sun, you likely need Vitamin D as well!
Vitamin D is very important for calcium uptake and bone, colon, cardio-vascular and immune health. Many doctors recommend optimizing vitamin D for their diabetic, hypertensive and overweight patients.
Each teaspoon of NanoEPADHA supplies 500 IU of emulsified vitamin D, 125% of the recommended daily value (DV) plus superior absorption!
Plus vitamin E Complex, an Excellent Source of Antioxidant Protection
The 8 vitamin E Complex:
- helps maintains healthy cell membranes
- provides powerful antioxidant protection
- supports a healthy cardiovascular system
- supports healthy immune function
- provides all 4 tocopherols & 4 tocotrienols!
Furthermore, as even the best fish oils can easily become unstable (oxidized), both in the bottle and the body, NanoEPADHA is fortified with the lipid antioxidant protection of all eight different kinds of vitamin E (four tocopherols and four tocotrienols) emulsified for maximum absorption, protection and benefit.
NanoEPADHA is manufactured in a cGMP & FDA approved facility.

FAQ
NanoEPADHA®
Q. Can I take both NanoEPA DHA and NanOmega 3?
Yes, most persons can, as adding NanOmega3 increases your total omega-3 intake, especially ALA, as well as extra vitamins, minerals, fiber and an especially absorbable delivery form of the beneficial herb, turmeric. For general wellness, ½ tsp of NanoEPADHA and one scoop of NanOmega3 should suffice. Please check with your health professional if you need further direction.
Q. How can I be assured of the quality of NanoEPA DHA?
NanoEPADHA is CRN (Council for Responsible Nutrition) Monograph compliant. The CRN is a Washington based trade association that represents ingredient suppliers and manufacturers in the supplement industry. CRN members must adhere to a strong code of ethics, comply with dosage limits and manufacture to high quality standards under Good Manfacturing Practices (GMP). The CRN developed a specific monograph for omega-3 products. The monograph set quality standards/limits of environmental contaminants.
We are also GISSI study compliant- this is an optimal dosing standard regarding potency and daily requirements.
NanoEPADHA is ultra purified and have integrity to ensure optimal digestion and assimilation. In addition, they are physician recommended.
Q. How is NanoEPA DHA 3 x more potent than regular fish oil?
Because NanoEPA DHA is emulsified into very tiny droplets, it is up to 300% more absorbable, and therefore up to 300% more powerful. Therefore:
- 360 mg (1 tsp.) NanoEPADHA = up to 1080 mg EPA/ DHA regular fish oil*
- 1080 mg (1 tbsp) NanoEPADHA = up to 3240 mg EPA/DHA regular fish oil!
Do not exceed one tsp a day without your health professional’s guidance.
Q. How is oxidation prevented in NanoEPA DHA?
DHA features a system called "MaxPure™" that protects our fish oil from the detrimental effects of heat, peroxides, oxygen and light. The result is the freshest fish oil in the world.
Our MaxPure™ System: - “Fresh” Catch Processing Technology ensures that oil is free from the damaging effects of heat, light and oxygen.
- Opaque Bottles suppress light induced oxidation.
- Nitrogen Flushed Bottles suppress oxygen-induced oxidation.
- FreshLok® Anti-Oxidant Protection suppresses peroxide-induced oxidation.
- Recommended refrigeration once opened suppresses heat-induced oxidation. What is the difference between Fish Oil and Flax Oil?
Q. How much NanoEPADHA should I take?
As NanoEPADHA is much more absorbable, 1 tsp. a day if fine for most people. Those health professionals who want you to support optimal heart health might recommend 2 tsp. a day. For maximum anti-inflammatory action, your health professional might recommend 1 tablespoon a day.
Remember, 360 mg of NanoEPADHA, being up to 300% more absorbable, is likely equivalent to 700 to 1,000 mg of regular fish oil capsules. One tablespoon is likely equivalent to 2,000 to 3,000 mg of EPA/DHA a day! Important: As fish oil is a powerful blood thinner, and NanoEPADHA is so much more absorbable than regular fish oil, we do not recommend taking more than 1 tsp. a day without your health care providers guidance!
Q. What is MaxPure™?
MaxPure™ is the trade mark name for the processes used to make sure that our product passes all heavy metal, rancidity and contaminant testing.
Q. What is the source of the fish oils?
NanoEPADHA uses only pure & pristine source of purified (MaxPure™) pharmaceutical grade fish oil from “fresh catch” non-farmed cod and salmon.
Q. Which is better, omega-3 from flax of fish?
Both fish oil and flaxseed ultimately supply your body with essential fatty acids( EFAs), which have been shown to have a number of important effects within the body. If you feel you are very omega-3 depleted you may opt to take NanoEPADHA until you notice an improvement, and then convert to NanOmega3. Both oils have been shown to contribute positively to health and some people opt to take both oils, so that they complement each other.
Q. Which should I take, NanOmega 3 or NanoEPA DHA?
Of course, it is best to have your health professional decide for you. Nonetheless, in general, NanOmega3 might better if you want a satisfying meal (mixed with NanoGreens and/ or NanoReds and NanoPro), especially for maximum fiber, nutrition, weight loss and balanced blood sugar diets. It is also a good choice if you are a vegan, or if you already eat fatty fish once or twice a week. If you desire mega doses of EPA/DHA for nutritional support because you are concerned with arthritis, coronary vascular disease or dementia risk, several teaspoons daily of NanoEPADHA might be preferred, especially if you eat very little fatty fish (salmon, tuna, trout, sardines, anchovies). Of course, if you like things simple, NanoEPADHA can be taken straight by the spoon.
