Description
MDPA Omega Plus contains balanced ‘o-3’ and ‘o-6’ fatty acids with mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols. This is a complete essential fats formula providing eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (important essential omega-3 fatty acids), gamma linolenic acid (GLA) (an important essential omega-6 fatty acid), as well as synergistic nutrients that optimize utilization and effectiveness in the body.
- The EPA and DHA are in the form of triglycerides derived from marine lipids (using patented flash molecular distillation) and the GLA is from cold-pressed borage seed oil. The mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols derive from rice bran oil, and are included in the softgel capsules for antioxidant protection of the polyunsaturated oils.
- Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are known to play important roles in the formation of prostaglandins. The prostaglandins are important cellular regulators controlling inflammatory processes and pain in the body.
- EPA and DHA may be helpful in supporting healthy cardiovascular function, normal blood pressure, healthy joints, healthy skin, normal blood sugar regulation, normal cellular metabolism, and healthy kidneys.
- GLA may be useful in supporting healthy joints. While they are powerful independently, research has indicated that in a combined formula EPA, DHA, and GLA can have even greater benefits.
- Because these fatty acids have many double bonds that are prone to oxidation, Vitamin E is included in the forms of mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols. In addition, these forms of Vitamin E have been shown to support healthy blood vessels, enhance blood flow, protect serum lipids from oxidation (including LDL and HDL), trap harmful nitrogenous radicals, act as anti-proliferative agents, and provide powerful oxidative defense for the skin.
- Every batch of fish oil is tested and guaranteed to contain insignificant levels of heavy metals, PCBs, pesticides, and other organic chemical contaminants.*

To help reduce my high cholesterol, my doctor recommended I take fish oils. I chose TIH omega plus because not only does it contain a balanced combination of omega 3 fats, but also contains Vitamin E with tocotrienols – which are also beneficial for my heart. Tye doctor also taught me about shelf life of oils and how they tend to go rancid with time – so the antioxidants were added to this formula to help reduce that chance. So cool! These are the first fish oils I have been able to tolerate – most gave me the runs (gallbladder issues) and they don’t repeat on me. My cholesterol values are coming down and a great side effect has been experiencing a reduction in my joint stiffness (with improved range of motion) and softer skin and hair. They’re a keeper for me.
