Douglas Labs Opti-Omega Q
Opti-Omega Q with Phytosterols may be a useful dietary adjunct for individuals wishing to supplement their diets with a unique formula to help support cholesterol and cardiovascular health.
What it is best for:
Fish Oil
The consumption of omega-3 fatty acids from fish has been associated with numerous benefits, including support for cardiovascular, neurological, ocular, joint and skin health. Specifically, studies have shown that EPA and DHA may play an important role in cardiovascular health.
Plant Sterols
Plant sterols and plant sterol esters are naturally occurring plant compounds that have structures similar to, yet slightly different from cholesterol. Typical plant sterols are compounds such as β-sitosterol, campesterol, and stigmasterol and can be found in vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, grains and certain oils. Research has shown that these compounds compete with the absorption of dietary cholesterol as well as inhibit the reabsorption of endogenous cholesterol in the gastrointestinal tract.
CoenzymeQ10
Coenzyme Q10 (or ubiquinone) is an important rate limiting nutrient that is a cofactor in the mitochondrial electron transport chain, the biochemical pathway in cellular respiration from which adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and metabolic energy is derived. Since nearly all cellular activities are dependent upon energy, coenzyme Q10 is essential for the health of all human tissues and organs.
Opti-Omega Q combines three important ingredients for cardiovascular health in one convenient, delicious tasting liquid. This unique blend contains ultra-pure, molecularly distilled fish oil, plant sterols, and coenzyme Q10 designed to support already healthy cholesterol levels and heart health. No sugar, artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors or preservatives have been added.
