Description
Diamond Nutritionals’ Balanced Omega Formula Supports Cardiovascular Health
Ingredients
EPA (eicosapentanoic acid) and DHA (docosahexanoic acid) are two omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and fish oil supplements. There have been numerous clinical trials and studies performed on the health benefits of EPA and DHA. To date, omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to prevent primary and secondary cardiovascular events, reduce triglycerides, improve hypertension, and help improve issues associated with Metabolic Syndrome. They have also shown to be effective anti-inflammatory agents and have beneficial effects on mood disorders. Several reports suggest that maternal supplementation of fish oils or DHA alone during the third trimester and while breast-feeding can improve cognitive development in newborns, and improve sleep patterns. School aged children have also been shown to have increased mood and concentration when supplemented with omega-3 fatty acids.
The American Heart Association recommends patients with documented Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) consume about 1 gram of EPA + DHA per day, preferably from fatty fish, while patients who need to lower triglycerides consume 2-4 grams of EPA + DHA per day provided as a dietary supplement under a physician’s care. The FDA has also recognized the importance of omega-3 fatty acids like EPA and DHA, and allows the following health claim to be placed on fish oil products: “Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.” One serving of Balanced Omega Formula provides 820 mg. of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids.
Dosage
SUGGESTED USE: 1-4 soft gel capsules per day or as recommended by your health care professional.
Contraindications
Persons with allergies to fish should use caution. If you are pregnant or nursing, consult your physician.

I started Balanced Omega Support when my triglyceride level came back high (215). I also had some muscle soreness and joint stiffness at the time which my doctor said was osteoarthritis. After taking it for 3 months, my triglycerides were 102 and my muscle and joint symptoms were about 75% better. My symptoms continue to improve. This is a great product! Very pleased.

Two capsules a day cut my triglycerides in half (244 down to 130) and helped my osteoarthritis. The best Omega Formula I have used. My integrative doctor recommended it. I also take Foundation Vitamins and Chelated Magnesium from Diamond Nutritionals as well.

I started my mother on this along with Foundation Vitamins and Memory Support Formula. She has dementia and nothing else was helping. We were told there was nothing that could be done for her. After 3 months her memory is about 50% better! My dad and I are amazed and thrilled! Thank you!
