Lovaza: From Fish Oil to Medicine

MonaVie

It is obvious to me that very few people have read or studied the benefits of MonaVie and the acai berry. The acai berry is the crown jewel of the MonaVie blend. When properly freeze-dried, acai boasts an ORAC score higher that that of any other fruit or vegetable tested to date, based on available USDA data. It is no wonder that for ages the indigenous cultures of the Amazon have revered acai as a source of health and vitality. Recently, modern science has validated the remarkable health benefits of this fruit and studies have shown acai to contain the following beneficial nutrients:

Antioxidants

Phytonutrients

Essential fatty acids (Omega 3)

Amino acids

Vitamins and minerals

Complex carohydrates

Dietary fiber

Trace minerals.

Studies have also shown that freeze-dried acai powder boasts anotioxidant capacity more that 15 times higher than bluberries and more than 20 times higher than raspberries. The final MonaVie blend incorporates the flavors abnd benefits of the acai berry and 18 other healthful and delicious fruits. Visit my webpage for further information: www.mymonavie.com/CherylAker

fish oil

According to what I read, fish oil is good for a lot of things besides the heart. I take Dr. Dave's pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Check it out at www.drdavesbest.com

Are you sure?

"Reining in our nation's cholesterol levels over the past 40 years has yielded great benefit to health and longevity." That statement may or may not be true. From my reading, there is a lot of evidence that it is the tremendous advances in critical care and heart surgery that is making the difference - not lowering cholestrol.

As you know, cholestrol is as vital to the body as DHA and EPA. In fact, I've read that there are as many deaths associated with low cholestrol as high cholestrol. So, as I say, I don't think you can prove your statement about lowering cholestrol over the past 40 years.

Fish Oil Supplement

You need not go to your doctor and receive a prescription for fish oil. Try "BARLEAN'S Omega Swirl (Lemon Zest)," available at Whole Foods, or your local health food store in the refrigerated section. I use it instead of butter/margarine on my whole grain toast every morning. It's amazingly yummy!

fish oil supplements

Lovaza's stated purpose is to lower extremely high triglycerides...numbers in the 400's and 500's. Those are extreme numbers and the medecine is for extreme cases. The market is awash with "ultra pure" supplement claims. I decided to take a supplement brand that I trust because ocean fish farming, fish processing, and ocean fishing in general, have no appeal due to the heavy metals in the fish. That said, I think it would be important to have some standards about supplement claims of purity. For openers, how about a standard definition of purity.
