Most Malaysians consume too much of the omega-6 oil found in meats and most vegetable oils. In contrast, they do not consume adequate amounts of the omega-3 oils, which lead to an increased risk for heart disease and about 60 other conditions, including cancer, arthritis, stroke, high blood pressure, skin disease and diabetes. Particularly important to good health are the longer chain omega-3 fatty acids such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) found in fish, especially cold-water fish, such as salmon, mackerel, herring and halibut.
Why are the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids so important? The answer has to do with the function of these fatty substances in cellular membranes. A diet that is deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA, results in altered cell membranes. Without a healthy membrane, cells lose their ability to hold water, vital nutrients, and electrolytes. They also lose their ability to communicate with other cells and be controlled by regulating hormones. They simply do not function properly. Cell membrane dysfunction is a critical factor in the development of virtually every chronic disease, especially cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. Not surprisingly, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids have shown tremendous protective effects against all of these diseases.
Omega-3 Factors contains 630mg of long-chain fatty acids (400mg EPA/200mg DHA). The 2:1 ratio of EPA and DHA in Omega-3 Factors has been the dominant ratio used and proven in scientific studies to produce clinical benefits.

2 - Double Purification (molecularly distilled and ultra-purified)
- This makes Natural Factors Omega-3 the cleanest fish oil available in pharmacies today.
Molecular Distillation | Ultrapurification |
- Removes heavy metals from fish oil
( e.g arsenic, mercury etc).
| - Removes trace amino acids from fish, thus reducing the levels of arachidonic acid (AA).
- AA reduces the anti-inflammatory effects of fish oil.
