Ingredient Glossary
Our products are formulated from whole foods and food concentrates with the intention of delivering nutrients that are bio-active, the way Mother Nature made them. They synergistically provide support to the cardiovascular, nervous, digestive, and immune systems. The result is sustained energy, healthy skin and hair, and much, much more.
Did you know lowering your cholesterol by 20 points reduces your risk of a heart attack by 40%?
Recent studies from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition show dramatic evidence that the fiber components from flaxseed can dramatically lower LDL serum cholesterol (as much as 20%).
(see Dr. Bernard M. Collett's article on Living with Lupus in "In The News")
Did you know that dietary fiber is a basic component of good health?
Fiber helps detoxify our bodies every day!
Most Americans do not eat the recommended 25g of dietary fiber per day as recommended by the FDA & USDA. By taking the recommended daily intake of Omega 3 Basic per day (approximately 3 tablespoons), you will be meeting 30% of your dietary fiber needs.

Omega 3 Basic Product Line
Ingredients in Omega 3 Basic for Human Consumption
Alfalfa
General: Alfalfa is one of nature's most powerful and nutritious plants. The seeds, seed sprouts, and leaves of the plant can be eaten. The Arabs discovered alfalfa and called it the "father of all foods." Alfalfa contains essential amino acids (building blocks of proteins,), and has a proper balance of calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, sodium, potassium and silicon. It includes vitamins K, A (as beta-carotene), E, and B. These elements are needed for proper function of the various organs in the body.
Parts used: We use dehydrated and organically grown leaves (not sprouts) of alfalfa in our products. They are 25% protein and 18% fiber.
Benefits: Alfalfa is one of the richest chlorophyll foods. It builds up immunity to infection in both animals and humans. Alfalfa is able to effectively cleanse the liver and bloodstream of unhealthy cholesterol deposits. Therefore, it is promoted as a detoxifier, and also as an anti-fungal and anti-arthritic.
Apple
General: An apple a day does keep the doctor away. Apples are rich in water-soluble fiber (pectin), and essential vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A (as beta carotene), folic acid, and vitamin C. They are a good source of naturally occurring calcium, phosphorus, and potassium. They also have the ability to absorb calcium and iron from other foods.
Parts used: Freeze-dried fresh apples, unsulfured.
Benefits: Pectin has the ability to take excess water from the intestines and make a soft bulk that acts as a mild, non-irritating stimulant. This invokes peristaltic movement and improves natural bowel elimination. Pectin fiber also helps to remove unwanted metals and toxins from the body. It has the ability to lower blood cholesterol levels. Phenols found in fresh apples trigger the body's production of natural anti-carcinogens such as glutathione.
Barley Grass
General: This is another "green" food, a class of exceptionally nutritious foods that have high concentrations of calcium and iron. It is a good source of vitamin B12 and vitamin C, and contains all of the essential amino acids, as well as fiber, and protease inhibitors. Barley grass contains naturally occurring flavonoids, chlorophyll, and tocotrienols.
Parts used: The aerial part of young green barley harvested before flowering or seed head emergence. Therefore, our products are gluten-free.
Benefits: Barley grass contributes in many ways to the body's healing ability. This food heals stomach, duodenal, and colon disorders. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Tocotrienol has an important role in the prevention of atherosclerosis by protecting low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidative stress. It acts as an anti-oxidant and contributes in lowering high blood pressure. This substance reduces cholesterol by interfering with the liver's ability to manufacture cholesterol.
Blackstrap Molasses
General: Blackstrap molasses has been included in our formulations because it is a good natural source of minerals such as iron, and calcium. It is also known as the richest natural source of potassium. Refined white sugar (empty calories!), in contrast, does not contain such minerals.
Parts used: Dark part (the good part) of molasses. The amount of sugar in our supplement products per 8 grams of one tablespoon (which is the average serving size) is zero grams.
Benefits: As a blood builder, for trace minerals, and for supporting sustained energy.
Broccoli
General: Broccoli is a member of the cabbage family, and contains many phytonutrients. Thirty-three of them have been identified to date, including: carotenoids, coumarins, flavonoids, glucosinolates, indoles, isothiocyanates, lutein, sulforaphane, terpenes, and phenolic acids. Broccoli is rich in fiber, boron, and vitamins A and C.
Parts used: Dried fresh broccoli heads and stems.
Benefits: Immune system builder. Plays an important role in regulating cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease. Its antioxidant properties actively protect DNA from damage from carcinogens.
Carrot
General: Carrot is a well-known "star" for health. Carrots are packed with beta-carotene, the most famous phytonutrient. Carrots contain 42 health benefiting molecules, including carotenoids, coumarins, flavonoids, terpenes, phenolic acids, calcium pectate, etc. Carrots are high in fiber.
Parts used: Freshly harvested carrot roots are dehydrated and milled into the powder.
Benefits: Builds the immune system, is anti-carcinogenic, and prevents heart disease. Powerful antioxidants in carrots help to enhance enzyme activity in the liver, speeding up liver detoxification. Beta-carotene is converted in the body into vitamin A (vital for good vision and skin health). Calcium pectate has cholesterol-reducing properties. It lowers cholesterol by binding bile acids, and preventing them from being reabsorbed into the body.
Cherry
General: Cherries are high in iron. They contain powerful pigments - flavonoids (anthocyanidins, and proanthocyanidins) and vitamin C. These two phytochemicals help cells absorb vitamin C.
Parts used: Dark, sweet cherries, freeze-dried.
Benefits: Cherries have natural healing properties that have been shown to fight and inhibit cancer, by protecting against free radicals. Cherries are used as a detoxifier (for cleansing the liver and kidneys), and are a great blood builder.
Flaxseed
General: Flaxseed contains lignans and is nature's richest vegetarian source of the omega 3 essential fatty acid in the form of alpha linolenic acid. It is also an excellent source of the omega 6 essential fatty acid and of soluble and insoluble fiber. Omega oils, "Good Fats," are omega 3 (linolenic acid) and omega 6 (linoleic acid), essential fatty acids that together:
- Form the membrane of the billions of cells in the body
- Regulate response to pain, inflammation, and swelling
- Make up a very large part of the brain's active tissues
- Prevent blood cells from conglomerating
- Are necessary for absorption of fat soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K)
- Maintain proper kidney function and fluid balance
A high fiber diet protects against heart disease and has the remarkable function of supporting a healthy digestive and cardiovascular system.
Soluble fiber (pectins and gums) bind cholesterol and some other by-products in the bowel as it passes through the body. In this way, cholesterol absorption into the bloodstream is reduced (helps to lower serum cholesterol). Soluble fiber also slows digestion, which helps control blood glucose and contributes to weight management.
Insoluble fiber (cellulose, hemi-cellulose) primarily functions to increase moisture, which aids regularity, and supports a healthy digestive system and bowel regularity.
Flax lignans are natural phytoestrogens, and they have antibacterial and antifungal properties. There is much scientific evidence indicating they have a strong protective effect against hormonal-based cancer. They support cellular health and the overall immune system by regular cell production. Lignans are active antioxidants.
Parts used: High-stability, brown, premium, whole flaxseeds.
Benefits: Promotes sustained energy levels, and healthy digestive, cardiovascular and nervous systems. Healthy skin and hair. Greatly contributes with its features to overall health.
Garlic
General: Garlic was one of the National Cancer Institute's first five foods studied for multiple health benefits. Garlic contains 35 phytonutrients including the allelic sulfides, terpenes, and phenolic acids. It is also a good source of calcium, iron, potassium, selenium, zinc, magnesium and vitamins B1, B2, and B3. One of the most important compounds in garlic is the odorless amino acid alliin. When garlic is crushed or cut, an enzyme called allinase is activated and converts alliin into allicin. The allicin itself then breaks down into different compounds. Allicin is most responsible for garlic's strong odor.
Parts used: Garlic cloves.
Benefits: It is known for its antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal properties. This is why garlic is known as nature's antibiotic and enhancer of the immune system. It has a protective effect on the gastrointestinal tract (fights parasites and cancer). Helps reduction of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) while increasing high density lipoproteins (HDL).
Ginger Root
General: Used for flavor enhancement and palatability. As an added health "kicker", ginger root has 22 known health-enhancing phytonutrients, including beta-carotene, camphor, curcumin, gingerols, ferulic acid, etc. It is rich in natural enzymes, antioxidants, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, zinc and vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B6.
Parts used: Roots
Benefits: Ginger root is a time-proven remedy for upset stomach, indigestion and abdominal cramps. It has effectively been used for morning sickness as well as motion sickness. Many studies have indicated that it eases the symptoms of a cold, and has a cleansing effect on the kidneys and bowels, and helps to remove excess toxins from the body. It is an effective natural, antimicrobial agent for sores and wounds.
Glucosamine (used only in Omega 3 Basic for Joint Support Formula)
General: The source of the glucosamine in our products is chitin, derived from crustaceans and not from bovines (cows). Glucosamine is a naturally occurring substance found in ligaments and cartilage that stimulates the production of collagen, the protein that helps hold joints together. It is believed to help with degenerative arthritis, and may be beneficial for joint health by aiding in the recovery of damaged connective tissue. Suggested doses are 1500 mg per day.
Source: We use only the finest and highest purity grade of glucosamine hydrochloride. We use glucosamine HCI because it is more bio-available than glucosamine sulfate.
USE MEGA FLAX JOINT FOR VEGETARIAN GLUCOSAMINE.
Benefits: Essential fatty acids in our supplements, when coupled with glucosamine, help reduce pain and inflammation. Therefore, they support joint health.
Hesperidin
General: Commonly known as "citrus pulp", hesperidin includes the inner linings of the rind, the inner membranes, and raw pulp of citrus fruits. From a health-benefit standpoint, these parts (which are not usually eaten) are the best parts. Citrus is one of nature's largest storehouses of phytonutrients. Fifty-eight phytonutrients have been identified to date, including pectin, carotenoids, coumarins, glucarates, flavonoids, liminoids, lycopenes, terpenes and phenolic acids.
Parts used: Citrus pulp. Contains 98% of the bioflavonoid class of phytochemicals.
Benefits: Keeps the immune system strong, enhances the efficiency of vitamin A and E, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and helps prevent allergies. Is rich in antioxidants that eliminate free radicals, helping to prevent, skin, liver, lung and stomach cancers, and heart disease.
Kelp
General: Kelp (seaweed) has a high content of natural plant iodine, which is absorbed into the body slowly and therefore more safely, than chemical iodine. Kelp has a salty taste and is used by many people as a salt replacement. Kelp also contains folic acid, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc and all trace minerals. It is a good source of fiber and phytonutrients such as chlorophyll and pheophytin (a chlorophyll-related substance).
Parts used: Stems and leaves of Pacific kelp (Macrocystis phyrifera).
Benefits: Kelp has been used for proper functioning of the thyroid, which is essential for good growth, energy, and metabolism. Helps prevent the growth of tumors and cancer causing mutations (it helps in the building of the cell wall). Acts as a natural antibiotic, and is used to help with arthritis, to treat skin diseases, stomach ulcers, and urinary problems. It also strengthens the immune system.
Licorice Root
General: Aside from being a great flavor enhancer, licorice root is one of the initial five foodstuffs selected by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for study. It contains 29 known phytonutrients. Licorice root contains two tongue twisters, glycyrrhetinic acid and glycyrrhisoflavone, and beta-carotene and betaine, which have been shown to have strong anti-cancer properties. It is a good source of calcium, choline, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, silicon, zinc, and vitamins B1, B2, B3, and vitamin C.
Parts used: Licorice root, added to our products in amounts that cannot elevate blood pressure.
Benefits: Licorice root has been show to boost liver enzymes that detoxify cancer-causing chemicals. It stimulates the production of two of the body's self-made steroids: aldosterone and cortisone, which help reduce inflammation. Licorice is a time-honored natural treatment for arthritis because of its natural anti-inflammatory properties. Many herbalists use it as a natural tonic for respiratory problems, peptic ulcers, and bladder and kidney ailments. It has also been beneficial in nourishing the body and stimulating the adrenal glands and pancreas. Some women also use licorice root as a natural source of the female hormone estrogen. When licorice root is taken in small amounts in its natural state, it has incredible healing properties (acts as probiotic).
