Eicosamax® TG

Description 

Klaire Labs Eicosamax® TG

Ultra-Pure, Sustainable Fish Oil

The Klaire Labs’ Eicosamax TG line of essential fatty acids provides concentrated triglyceride-form omega-3 EPA, and DHA derived from fish oil. Omega-3 fatty acids are often called “good fats” due to the numerous roles they play in supporting health, including supporting a balanced inflammatory response, assisting triglyceride metabolism, and supporting heart, joint, skin, brain, and nerve function.

Each batch of Eicosamax TG is responsibly and sustainably harvested and independently tested for mercury, pesticides, and PCBs to assure exceptional oil purity. Anaerobic bottling, natural lemon flavoring, as well as added mixed tocopherol antioxidants protect against oxidation, maintain product freshness, and ensure a fresh, non-fishy taste.

Eicosamax TG supplies 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA per softgel.

More Info.

Eicosamax is part of Klaire’s essential fatty acid supplement line, providing concentrated omega-3 fatty acids derived from ultra-purified fish oil. The fish from which these triglyceride fatty acids are derived (anchovy, sardine, and mackerel) are responsibly and sustainably harvested off the coast of South America. All oils are processed in pharmaceutically-licensed production plants.

How do they work?

Fatty acids serve many vital roles in human physiology and metabolism. They have structural functions as components of phospholipids, the so-called “building blocks” of cell membranes; as part of neutral lipids, they serve as storage materials in cells; and fatty acid derivatives (i.e., eicosanoids) are involved in cell signaling.

The science of omega-3 fatty acids continues to expand and deepen. The presence of these health-promoting essential fatty acids was first recognized when scientists studied the diets of long-lived Inuit people which were high in fish. These fatty acids are now known to contribute to heart health and the modulation of inflammation in the body through a variety of mechanisms:

• They generate resolvins and protectins, substances that speed healing and resolve inflammation.
• They modulate the production of cytokines, especially TNF-α and IL-1.
• They suppress arachidonic acid–COX-derived eicosanoids, primarily PGE2-dependent signaling.
• They displace arachidonic acid in macrophage membranes, thereby inhibiting the COX-2 pathway and decreasing production of angiogenic growth factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor- α.
• They may modulate NF-kappa-B transcriptional activator proteins, a principal pathway for macrophage cytokine elaboration.
• They alter plasma membrane micro-organization (also known as lipid rafts), particularly as they relate to the function of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), and T-lymphocyte signaling molecule recruitment to the immunological synapse.

More importantly, supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil has been shown in hundreds of human clinical trials to support heart and vascular health, brain health and mood, healthy inflammatory response, metabolic health, healthy pregnancy, and much more.
