Omega-3 Means Good Things for the Rest of Your Life

By David Goodman, PH.D.

Many of you may wonder how accurate is the information you receive about Omega-3 fatty acids. After all, scientists today do not always tell the truth. Obviously you need the best possible information before making your choice of Omega-3s. In this review we will try to lead you through the ocean of facts among the half-baked truths. You are invited to decide for yourself based on data extracted from the references, these comprehensive volumes on Nutrition from the Sea.

Neptone is a nutritional whole food, the soft tissues of sea mussels converted into a powder, and placed into capsules. Unlike competitors' products, Neptone is produced by the En’Zaq? Process, a quick, spray-dry, low-heat process, protecting the natural fatty acids, and other important nutrients, yielding higher concentration of Omega-3’s. The mussel powder is produced according to the highest processing standards of the New Zealand Food Safety Authority (NZFSA) and the USFDA. Besides polyunsaturated fatty acids, (PUFAs), Neptone is rich in mucopolysaccharides (also known as glycosaminoglycans) such as natural chondroitin sulfate. High quality protein, Vitamins A, B-complex, D and especially E as well as minerals trace elements from the sea are found in Neptone tissues

Neptone lipids, mussel oils, are superior to fish oils based on the latest research as summarized in the two comprehensive books, Marine Products for Healthcare: Functional and Bioactive Nutraceutical Compounds from the Ocean (2009), and Marine Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods (2008). The authors carefully have compared the marine fish and shellfish for their nutritional value. Extensive space -- 133 pages -- have been allocated to discussion of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docahexaenoic acid (DHA). Neptone is among the most prolific sources of the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

EPA and DHA essential fatty acids are just two of the multiple nutrients found in the Neptone. The mussels are cultured in the pure waters of Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand, assuring a consistent supply. They are grown on ropes suspended in the water permitting them to consume their natural foods, particulates of the dinoflagellate and Omega-3 rich algae. This emphasis on environmentally-sound aquaculture compares exceptionally well with the way that fish are often farmed. There the artificial pens can foul the ocean, and the fish feed can be ecologically unsound.
