NEWS: The Story of The Missing Link, Omega 3 Basic, Omega Blast, and MegaFlax:

Dr. Robert Collett wasn't feeling well. After being diagnosed as a Type II Diabetic, 50 plus pounds overweight with skyrocketing cholesterol, Dr. Collett was inspired to research just what went wrong with his health and how he could go about solving it... naturally

What Dr. Collett discovered is that our modern day diet of processed, high-fat and preserved foods are almost completely deficient in Omega 3, also known as the "good fat". After switching to diet rich Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFA's) derived from flaxseed, Dr. Collett was able to get off high blood pressure medication and insulin, lost 60 pounds and dropped his cholesterol from 350 to 170. Many of the degenerative conditions that affect humans, Dr. Collett noticed, were also present in the animals he treated at his practice: skin conditions, allergies, inflammation of joints, poor digestion, poor vascular health, and general lethargy.

"Hmm," thought Dr. Collett, "perhaps these same principles could be put to use in treating my patients."

The Missing Link® was born.

Designing Health's subsequent products, including the Missing Link® for Dogs, Cats, Horses, Birds and Omega 3 Basic® and Omega Blast® for people, were based on the premise that there is a nutritional gap between what we and our pets obtain from typical Western diets. This varies drastically from what would be obtained from an ideal diet of local, fresh, sun-ripened, in-season foods. The more processed, preserved, heated, canned, dried, artificially flavored and/or colored foods we eat, the greater this nutritional gap becomes.

By 2003 we had discovered how starved the body was for the whole ingredients found in our Omega 3 Basic. Through additional research and nutritional science, Designing Health discovered a new category of nutrition, Whole Body Superfood. With Omega 3 Basic as its precursor, the properties of Whole Body Superfood had synergistic health benefits when blended with whole, natural supplements that targeted specific body ailments such as heart and circulatory systems, joints and flexibility, digestive system and immune system. The new line of products, Megaflax were launched in the fall of 2004.

All Designing Health products are formulated using only the highest-quality human grade ingredients derived from whole foods and food concentrates. The patented, proprietary packaging, manufacturing and handling methods ensure the freshest, most stable delivery of Omega 3 EFAs with vital nutrients intact.
