QUOTE BOARD

“Because of the contradictory results of previous studies, the effect of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on the risk of AF [atrial fibrillation] should be evaluated. Differences in the dose of omega-3 fatty acids used in previous studies might account for the apparent discrepancy in the effects on AF.”

“Curfman found that treatment with 4.0 g/day of omega-3 fatty acid was associated with an almost 2-fold increased risk of AF, whereas treatment with an intermediate dose of 1.8 g/day [OmegA+D Sufficiency provides 1.6 g/day as recommended dose] was not associated with an increased risk of AF. Similarly, there was no apparent increase in AF risk at a standard daily dose of 840 mg/day in VITAL Rhythm study.”

“Although animal model studies have shown that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) from seafood reduce the development of AF, human studies have shown conflicting results in this regard.” *This is because the animal studies contain natural triglyceride form fatty acids derived from seafood and many of the human studies include artificial, biochemically altered/unnatural ethyl ester forms of fatty acids, often in mega doses.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

The studies that have found a small increased risk of atrial fibrillation with supplementation of omega-3 fatty acids have been those studies that either include a VERY high dose of omega-3 fatty acids (far beyond the recommended daily dose) and/or include high doses of highly concentrated, biochemically altered, unnatural ethyl ester forms of omega-3 fatty acids that do NOT represent fish oil or any other type of naturally occurring fatty acid.

Innate Choice® OmegA+D Sufficiency™ contains natural triglyceride form omega-3 fatty acids recommended in a safe and effective daily dose of 1.6 g/day.

There is no documented increased risk of atrial fibrillation from the dose and natural triglyceride omega-3 fatty acids contained in Innate Choice® OmegA+D Sufficiency™. Just another example of why QUALITY MATTERS.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

You need to supplement with a high quality, contaminant-free, full fatty acid complement, triglyceride form Omega-3 fatty acid fish oil like Innate Choice OmegA+D Sufficiency™.
