11 3 CRITICAL TIPS FOR YOUR FISH OIL REGIMEN As stated, starting a daily Fish Oil can have many profound benefits to your overall health and wellness. However, there are a few critical tips that can greatly improve your daily regimen: If your dosage requires more than one serving a day, don t take the entire daily dose at once. Take your largest dose at night before you plan on going to sleep. This will alleviate any problems you may have with burping. To maintain freshness and reduce any fishy aftertaste, freeze the softgels. Take your required dosage with meals. This will also reduce any effects of burping or belching. Although a small percentage of those who start a daily Fish Oil regimen may experience side effects of mild burping or belching, the above tips will greatly reduce this occurrence. Furthermore, the overall health benefits of Omega 3 are so vast that many agree that it is worth understanding and coping with any occasional small discomforts.!11 PACIFICCOAST NUTRILABS

12 THE FAQ S YOU DIDN T KNOW TO ASK What exactly is Fish Oil Omega-3 Fatty Acids? As would be assumed, Fish Oil is oil derived from the tissues of oily fish. The omega-3 compound is made up of four fatty acids: Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) from fish and fish oils, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) from flax and canola oils, and DPA from whale and seal oils. Fish Oils naturally provide the heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The clinical evidence overwhelmingly supports the use of EPA and DHA from fish and fish oils for cardiovascular health, with little or no evidence supporting the use of ALA or DPA related products. The most widely available dietary source of EPA and DHA is cold-water oily fish, such as salmon, herring, mackerel, anchovies, and sardines. (I know That was a mouth full!) Should I count my daily Fish Oil as calories or fat grams?!12 PACIFICCOAST NUTRILABS

13 While there are differing views on this subject, we would say no. This may sound a bit complex, but the way your body uses EPA and DHA is different than other types of fat the eicosanoid biosynthetic pathway, the brain, and the retina have first rights, and EPA and DHA are typically used in these pathways as opposed to being used as fuel as other caloric intake is consumed. I m pregnant can I still take Fish Oil? While we recommend that you consult with your physician, most physicians recommend this product for pregnant or nursing mothers as it may help with positive development of the child s brain, neurological and physical systems. It can also play a very important role in preventing postnatal depression. This is because the fetus can draw off precious stores of the mother's DHA, which can lead to depression. I ve been taking my required daily dosage and I m almost out. Should I order more? Now that you ve been on your daily Fish Oil regimen for a month or two, you don t want to stall the many health benefits you may now be starting to experience. Additionally, while many of the benefits of Fish Oil with EPA+DHA are noticed!13 PACIFICCOAST NUTRILABS

14 fairly quickly, there are also many health benefits that may take up to 8 weeks to notice considerable effectiveness.!14 PACIFICCOAST NUTRILABS
