Customer: $34.45    Distributor Wholesale $29.75 Omega Blue keeps the fish oil ten times more stable to ensure freshness throughout preparation, while in the softgel, and during metabolism. It is also important to find a fish oil with natural ratios of omega-3 fats (EPA and DHA). EPA should represent about 14–18 percent of the fish oil and DHA between 8–12 percent. Higher ratios can indicate the fish oil may have undergone further processing, which can increase rancidity and concentrate fishy flavor. There are good fats and bad fats. Omega-3 essential fatty acids found in fish oil are among the best good fats. Volumes of research confirm that omega-3 fats reduce systemic-inflammation and support cardiovascular, joint, eye and brain health.* While eating more fish is one way to consume these essential fatty acids, it is important to note that fish is often polluted with mercury and other toxins. A great alternative to fish is to supplement daily with Omega Blue. Not only does this product provide a clinically proven dose of pure, un-concentrated fish oil, it is free from mercury and other toxins. In addition to high-quality fish oils, Omega Blue contains our proprietary Omega Enhance essential oil blend with legendary blue (German) chamomile and myrrh oil to support a healthy inflammatory response. Lemongrass oil provides cardiovascular protection and supports healthy cholesterol levels, while clove and myrrh oil provide added antioxidant support. The Omega Enhance blend strengthens omega-3 fats and makes Omega Blue at least ten times more stable than other fish oils. What’s more, a Precision Delivery coating triples omega- 3 absorption by releasing these stable, bioactive nutrients directly in the intestines. Benefits of Omega 3 Fish Oil Fish oils and omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help children who cannot focus while at school. Omega-3 fats offer unparalleled support for healthy heart, circulatory, eye, brain, and joint function. Studies show that fish oil is helpful in alleviating skin, respiratory, and autoimmune disorders. Clove oil is nature’s strongest antioxidant and richest source of eugenol. (As measured by ORAC testing) Research indicates that clove protects fish oil to ensure freshness and prevent rancidity. Precision Delivery softgels release fish oil in the intestines for three times more absorption and no aftertaste. Here is another reason to take Young Living’s Omega Blue: “According to two studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), may help preserve cognitive function in older adults. In one study, the diets of 210 healthy men ranging in age from 70 to 89 years with normal cognitive function were assessed and then reassessed five years later. Subjects who regularly ate fish demonstrated a slower decline in thinking ability than those who did not eat fish. A daily consumption of approximately 400 mg of EPA and DHA was recommended for maintaining healthy cognitive function. In the second study in 2,251 older adults, those with higher blood levels of EPA and DHA displayed less decline in verbal ability than those with lower levels. The effects were most pronounced in adults with high blood pressure and elevated lipid levels.” -- Robert Gaston Life Extension, September 2007 Did you Know? Young Living’s fish oil is harvested from small fish in pristine waters and is free of heavy metals (mercury, lead), PCBs, and dioxins Lemongrass oil has been clinically shown to support normal cholesterol levels and The Complete German Commission E Monographs lists lemongrass oil as an essential oil that is used for disorders and discomforts of the gastrointestinal tract.* Myrrh oil has high levels of sesquiterpenes, a class of compounds that have a direct effect on the hypothalymus, pituitary, and amygdala, or the seat of our emotions.* Myrrh oil is the second highest ranking substance on the ORAC scale preceded only by clove essential oil. What Makes This Product Unique? The single most important factor to consider with fish oil is freshness. Fish oil can be so fragile that some cultures prefer to buy live fish and avoid dangerous rancidity. Consuming rancid fish oil is like declaring war on your body, and it can contain millions of free radicals that damage your cells. Thus it is important to look for fish oil that is strengthened with natural antioxidants to preserve the fish oil and protect freshness. Omega Blue contains the Omega Enhance blend of blue (German) chamomile, lemongrass, myrrh, and clove essential oils. This essential oil blend delivers a number of health benefits, including the very best antioxidant protection from clove and myrrh oil, the two highest ranking substances on the ORAC scale.

Key Ingredients Pure fish oil and blue (German) chamomile, lemongrass, myrrh, and clove essential oils Frequently Asked Questions Q What are DHA and EPA? A EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are simply omega-3 fats. Both DHA and EPA are found in fish oil and research shows they are vital to its therapeutic activity. Q Are omega-3 fats from fish oil better than the fats found in flaxseed oil? A The omega-3 fats ALA and EPA must be converted into DHA to be used by the body. Fish oil contains EPA and DHA, and flaxseed oil contains ALA. EPA is one conversion away from DHA; however, ALA is two. Meaning, it takes a lot of ALA, or a significant amount of flaxseed oil, to make a small amount of DHA. Therefore, if you want the therapeutic benefits of DHA, fish oil is your best choice. Q Why do you enteric coat your fish oil? A Omega Blue’s Precision Delivery softgels are coated to protect the fish oil from oxidation and stomach acids and to time-release the oils in the intestines.   Omega Blue Testimonies    Headaches and Back Aches I started taking Omega Blue because I knew Omega 3 oils are so important for our health. I love taking Omega Blue, as there is no 'burp-back' affect, as there is with so many of the common omega 3 supplements. I like fish, but not that much that I like to re-taste it!! :-) A wonderful side-effect of taking the Omega Blue is that I don't get the many headaches and low back ache that I used to suffer from. I went without Omega Blue for about 6 weeks, and the back ache and headaches started recurring. I take 3 capsules daily and don't have any problems! -- Sandra Cholesterol Down We have done Omega Blue 3 capsules daily and 3 drops of lemongrass (in a veggie capsule) daily. Within 3 months the blood work was within range. Doctors are amazed. -- Sally Help for BiPolar My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with bi-polar disorder in 2004. Prior to discovering Young Living in November 2006 we tried several medications with undesirable side effects not to mention the constant monitoring of the liver that is required. This was not acceptable. In 2006, after much research and receipt of testimonies from other YL users, I started her on Omega Blue (3 caps 2X day) and Idaho Balsam Fir on her feet at night. Within a couple of months I was receiving many comments on how she had changed behaviorally...she was a completely different child. To this date we are still successfully managing her bi-polar with these products, although we have added RutaVaLa to the routine in the evenings. -- Jerri Dry Cracked Skin Omega Blue - Every winter my boyfriend has fought with dry cracked skin, he his thumbs and fingers would crack open, after less than a month of taking 2 Omega Blue a day his fingers all healed up and he hasn't had them cracked since. As a matter of fact he's soooo happy about it that he tells everyone he encounters. -- Sherry Dry Skin I increased the Omega Blues in the winter time. It really helps not have dry skin. -- Kim Key Scientific Studies + Clemens von Schacky, “N-3 Fatty acids and the prevention of coronary atherosclerosis,” Am J Clin Nutr. (2000); 71 224S–7S. + G. L.
