Derived exclusively from wild sockeye salmon
caught in the cold, pristine waters off Alaska, this 100% PURE oil is not
blended with any inferior salmon or other fish oils. Here's why this is unique:
To achieve high ratios of EPA to DHA, commercially available salmon oil capsules
are fortified with other fish oils. One benefit of Natural Factors Wild Sockeye
Salmon Oil is that it has the lowest cholesterol levels, in contrast to the
higher levels found in farmed salmon oil.
The freshest and purest oils available, Sockeye contains the highest amount
of omega-3 fatty acids of any salmon, about 2.7 grams per 100 gram portion.
Alaskan Sockeye Salmon are relatively small, short-lived fish that feed at the
lower end of the food chain. Consequently they grow free of hazardous levels of
contaminants found in larger, longer-lived carnivorous species. After hatching
in their natal rivers, sockeye swim upstream to remote, pristine fresh water
lakes where they feed and grow for one to three years before migrating out to
the Bering Sea. During this latter stage of their lives they feed primarily on
phytoplankton and krill brimming with antioxidants and omega-3 nutrients that
give the sockeye its dramatic red flesh. Unlike farmed salmon, wild Alaskan Sockeye
Salmon grows free of antibiotics, pesticides,
synthetic coloring agents, growth hormones and GMO's.
This wild harvested oil
also consistently tests free of hazardous levels of contaminants,
chemical residues and heavy metals.
It's orange color is due to the high levels of the carotenoid and astaxanthin
(occurring naturally in sockeye) that helps the eyes and cardiovascular system.
Alaskan sockeye salmon are the richest salmon species in the powerful biological
antioxidant astaxanthin, a natural caroteniod that imparts a rich orange glow to
the oil and eliminates the need for added tocopherols present in other brands.
Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid that gives our oil its rich orange color—and
is up to 100 times more potent than Vitamin E at quenching singlet oxygen ‘free
radicals’.

Each softgel contains 1000mg wild
sockeye salmon oil providing 80mg
of EPA and 70mg of DHA. The
natural EPA and DHA levels in these capsules reflects those found in wild
salmon, which helps ensure the bioavailability of these omega-3s.
There are NO artificial preservatives, color or sweeteners; corn, dairy,
starch, wheat, or yeast. The softgel capsule ingredients are: gelatin, glycerin,
and purified water.

USAGE: We recommend 4000mg daily. Start with 1/2 of
this dose for one or two weeks. The dose may be increased for dogs with
arthritis or dermatitis or other inflammatory conditions in consultation with
your veterinarian. Simply mix into food. Divide between meals.
Please do not expect immediate changes as it can take up to 6-8 weeks before the
Omega-3s are absorbed by your dog’s cells. We have seen the difference in our
Golden Alfie, whose coat is silky soft and full of sheen. We are currently using
6000mg daily given Alfie's senior age.
Unless you or your dog is
eating fatty acid fish at least 3-4 times a week, there are not enough
Omega-3's in these diets. Since their discovery in the 1970s, the
omega-3 essential fatty acids have generated thousands of studies and
trials. Necessary at every stage of life, they are found in the membrane
of every cell in the body and help to ensure that the cell membrane is
equipped to do its job. They are also used in the regulation of all
biological functions, including the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune
and nervous systems. Optimum health can only be achieved when sufficient
Omega-3's are obtained.
Two important Omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentanoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexanoic acid (DHA), both found liberally in cold water fish such
as salmon. These fatty acids help reduce low density lipoproteins (LDLs),
raise levels of good high density lipoproteins (HDLs), and lower those
high triglyceride levels associated with heart disease. They also help
with he inflammation associated with arthritis.
