Quell Fish Oil Junior by Douglas Labs
Critical Extraction, High Potency Omega 3s
QUELL Fish Oil Junior is a small, pure, and potent softgel that is high in omega-3 DHA for children's general health. QUELL is supercritical CO2 extracted fish oils in triglyceride form, manufactured in Germany exclusively for Douglas Laboratories. QUELL Fish Oil is unique among other fish oils for its critical extraction, purity, bioavailability and concentrations.
Critical Extraction
Supercritical CO2 advanced technology is the superior protection against oxidation. The extraction method of fish oil uses less heat and no chemical solvents when compared to molecular distillation. This process results in fewer unwanted isomer formations and a cleaner oil.
Critical Purity
Supercritical fluid extraction uses CO2 (carbon dioxide) instead of oxygen to gently extract the fatty acids, which also protects them from microorganisms that can't survive without oxygen. No chemical preservatives, solvents, or undesirable compounds are found in QUELL Fish Oil. Additionally, heavy metal and contaminant levels measure significantly lower than recognized standards.
Critical Bioavailability
Recent scientific data shows the triglyceride form of fish oil is better absorbed when compared to ethyl esters. Recent data have demonstrated that omega-3 fatty acids delivered in a triglyceride form may result in greater plasma levels and a higher omega-3 index compared with omega-3 fatty acids delivered in the form of ethylesters.
Critical Concentration
Many fish oils contain only about 30% omega-3 fatty acids, of which roughly 18% is EPA and 12% DHA. The remaining 70% is a varying mixture of other components. In other words, regular fish oil contains less than a third of the desired active ingredients and more than two thirds of other components. These other components may include cholesterol, omega-6 fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, oxidation products and contaminants. Highly concentrated fish oil, like QUELL, provide at least 75% active ingredients, leaving less room for nonessential compounds.
FUNCTIONS
The benefits of omega-3 fatty acids continue to emerge and numerous health organizations around the world recommend adequate daily intake of DHA for children. DHA plays a major role in the structural integrity of neuronal membranes. DHA is essential for neurological and visual development and is vital throughout pregnancy to support fetal brain growth and formation of the retina and visual cortex.
As the most abundant fatty acid in the brain, adequate amounts of DHA are needed throughout infancy and adulthood for ongoing optimal function. Low levels of DHA may adversely influence behavior and mental performance, and have been correlated with changes in disposition, memory, visual and other neurological parameters.
INDICATIONS
QUELL FISH OIL Junior is indicated for children and teens that require a higher ratio of DHA to EPA for general health.
