Sourced from the harp seals, Terra Nova Omega-3 Seal Oil offers excellent bioavailability and utilization within the human body compared to non-mammalian sources. Bid farewell to the typical fishy aftertaste often encountered with omega-3 supplements and embrace the exceptional quality and effectiveness of Terra Nova Omega-3 Seal Oil. Embrace a proactive approach to attaining optimal health and well-being with Terra Nova Omega-3 Seal Oil.
Terra Nova Omega-3 Seal Oil stands out as a superior source of omega-3 when compared to fish-based sources. While many fish oils offer DHA and EPA, they often contain little to no DPA (docosapentaenoic acid). What sets Terra Nova Omega-3 Seal Oil apart is its unique composition that includes not only DHA and EPA but also the potent DPA. This powerful combination intensifies the positive effects of DHA and EPA, making Terra Nova Omega-3 Seal Oil a comprehensive solution for your omega-3 needs.
When it comes to plant-based sources of omega-3, it's important to note that they primarily provide ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) rather than DHA, EPA, or DPA. While ALA is an essential omega-3 fatty acid, it has limited conversion capabilities in the body. Conversion of ALA to DHA and EPA is inefficient, with only a small percentage actually being converted. As a result, relying solely on plant-based omega-3 sources may not provide adequate amounts of DHA, EPA, and DPA that are essential for optimal health. By choosing Terra Nova Omega-3 Seal Oil, which naturally contains DHA, EPA, and DPA, you can ensure a more direct and efficient supply of these beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.
What are the side effects of seal oil?
According to Canadian Seal Products, there are no recorded negative reactions exist when seal oil is ingested in the advised quantities. While a number of individuals have noted experiencing "fishy burps" with fish oil use, such a phenomenon does not appear to apply to seal oil. Health Canada advises capping the daily consumption of EPA and DHA fatty acids at a maximum of 3 grams. This recommendation is deemed safe for expectant mothers and serves as a beneficial standard to adhere to. In instances where individuals are on prescribed medication, particularly anticoagulants, seeking medical advice from a healthcare provider is consistently recommended.
