KEY ADVANTAGES

The Science

IN SUMMARY: Pairing omega-3s with calcium and vitamin D can offer additional bone and joint protection for women ages 50 and older. The benefits from ALA omega-3s may be greater than other forms of omega-3 supplementation such as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).

THE EVIDENCE: OMEGA-3S

May enhance calcium absorption

Omega-3 fatty acids may alter the lipid composition of cell membranes, helping cells take in more calcium that can then be put towards building and maintaining bone tissue. These alterations may also reduce rates of calcium loss.

May reduce inflammation to reduce bone loss and enhance bone growth

Rates of low-grade inflammation naturally increase with age. Omega-3s offer protection by turning down the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines that may stimulate the breakdown, or resorption, or bone tissue. Simultaneously, these anti-inflammatory properties may also stimulate the formation of healthy new bone tissue.

ALA omega-3 may be particularly effective at these tasks. Compared to supplementing with DHA and EPA, ALA supplementation is tied to:

• Significantly higher levels of Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), a bone enzyme involved in generating new bone tissue.

• Lower levels of markers of bone resorption, such as C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) and N-terminal telopeptide (NTx).

May enhance physical function

Greater physical activity supports stronger, healthier bones. Among postmenopausal women, dietary intake of ALA omega-3 has been shown to positively impact key parameters of physical function in just three days, including faster walking speed, greater grip strength, lower fat mass, better balance, and increased squatting ability.

BONE METABOLISM

The continuous process of forming new bone tissue and breaking down, or resorbing, old or damaged bone tissue to help bones maintain their structural integrity.

THE EVIDENCE: ALA VS. DHA

When it comes to getting our fill of omega-3s, ALA alone may be able to get the job done. Experts have long believed that DHA and EPA are the "hero" sources of omega-3 fatty acids, since ALA was thought to have a poor rate of conversion to DHA. However, we know that women's bodies are more efficient than men, with a conversion rate of 21% for EPA and 9% for DHA.

More significantly, methods of measuring rates of ALA conversion have advanced. Using novel tracking strategies, scientists are now learning that DHA is stored in the body's tissues long-term, and only a small fraction of those reserves actually need to be topped off each day. That replenishment hurdle can easily be cleared with daily intake of ALA. While the conversion rate is small, it may actually be all that’s needed to maintain healthy DHA and EPA levels.

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

The Science

IN SUMMARY: Declines in the hormone estrogen can lead to or worsen joint pain during and after menopause. Dietary ALA omega-3s may improve joint health and physical capacity in older women, making them an effective way to delay and/ or prevent declines in function.

THE EVIDENCE: ALA AND ENHANCED PHYSICAL FUNCTION

• Women with higher dietary ALA intake show enhanced physical function parameters including faster walking speed, greater grip strength, lower fat mass, and better balance and squatting ability. 3

• Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids has consistently been shown to relieve joint pain while improving function. 4

THE EVIDENCE: ALA REDUCES LOW-GRADE INFLAMMATION

ALA reduces levels of low-grade inflammation that naturally increase with aging and contribute to musculoskeletal joint pain and functional declines. 5

THE EVIDENCE: OMEGA-3S SUPPORTS MUSCLE HEALTH

Omega-3s contributes to muscle protein synthesis. This can help prevent age-related muscle loss that can lead to frailness.6

THE EVIDENCE: OMEGA-3S AND HEART HEALTH

Estrogen exerts a protective effect on the heart, where declining levels can increase a woman's risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.7 Supplemental omega-3 can play a key role in combatting these problems by aiding in BMI and waist circumference reduction and lower blood pressure and triglycerides. 8

THE EVIDENCE: ALA VS. DHA

When it comes to getting our omega-3 needs met, ALA alone may be able to get the job done. Experts have long believed that DHA and EPA are the "hero" sources of omega-3 fatty acids, since ALA was thought to have a poor rate of conversion to DHA. However, methods of measuring rates of ALA conversion have advanced. Using novel tracking strategies, scientists are now learning that DHA is stored in the body's tissues long-term, and only a small fraction of those reserves actually need to be topped off each day. That replenishment hurdle can easily be cleared with daily intake of ALA. While the conversion rate is small, it may actually be all that’s needed to maintain healthy DHA and EPA levels.9,10,11

Alpha-Linoleic Acid (ALA)

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)

The Science

IN SUMMARY: Women become less effective at converting ALA omega-3s to DHA omega-3s during the menopausal transition. Supplementing with ALA and DHA omega-3s can support this reduced capacity, and in turn, help manage menopause-related symptoms.

THE EVIDENCE: WOMEN AND OMEGA-3 CONVERSION

Research shows that younger women convert alphalinolenic acid (ALA) to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) much more efficiently than men, in large part thanks to estrogen. As estrogen levels decline during menopause, the synthesis of ALA to DHA becomes downregulated, making omega-3 supplementation essential. 4,5,6

THE EVIDENCE: OMEGA-3S IN MENOPAUSE

The menopausal transition is associated with an increased risk for a range of symptoms and conditions. Many of those issues can be better managed with the help of supplemental omega-3 fatty acids, including:

• Heart Health. Estrogen exerts a protective effect on the heart, where declining levels can increase a woman's risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke[7]. Supplemental omega-3 can play a key role in combatting these problems by aiding in BMI and waist circumference reduction and lower blood pressure and triglycerides[8].

• Mood and Brain Fog. The risk for mood disorders and cognitive impairment increases in menopause. Research suggests that supplementing with omega-3s can improve depressive symptoms while enhancing critical aspects of cognition related to motivation, such as energy and alertness[9].

• Joint Pain. Thanks to hormone shifts and the natural effects of aging, more than half of women experience joint pain during and after menopause. Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids has consistently been shown to relieve joint pain while improving function[10].

• Night Sweats And Sleep Disruption. Hormone shifts can lead to night sweats that cause discomfort and disrupt. However, omega-3 supplements may help alleviate night sweats, which in turn can lead to more comfortable, less fragmented sleep[11].

THE EVIDENCE: ALA VS. DHA

When it comes to getting our fill of omega-3s, ALA alone may be able to get the job done. Experts have long believed that DHA and EPA are the "hero" sources of omega-3 fatty acids, since ALA was thought to have a poor rate of conversion to DHA. However, methods of measuring rates of ALA conversion have advanced. Using novel tracking strategies, scientists are now learning that DHA is stored in the body's tissues long-term, and only a small fraction of those reserves actually need to be topped off each day. That replenishment hurdle can easily be cleared with daily intake of ALA. While the conversion rate is small, it may actually be all that’s needed to maintain healthy DHA and EPA levels.

• Optimizes fertility

• Supports sperm health

KEY ADVANTAGES

• Sustainable

• Plant-based source of omega-3s

*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

The Science

IN SUMMARY: Omega-3 supplements can play a key role in supporting male fertility through a number of different avenues, emerging research suggests. Combining omega-3s with ubiquinol may offer additional anti-inflammatory benefits.

Sperm Motility: Ability of sperm to move efficiently

Sperm Morphology: The shape and structure of sperm cells

Sperm Density: Number of sperm in a given volume of semen

Functional Competence: Ability of sperm to fertilize an egg

THE EVIDENCE: OMEGA-3S

May improve sperm quality.

Higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are tied to higher sperm counts and greater sperm motility and morphology. Omega-3 supplements may also help sperm maintain their structural integrity and functional competence by fighting against oxidative stress.

May modulate hormone production. EPA and DHA supplementation may enhance the production of the male reproductive hormone testosterone. That may provide a healthier environment for sperm production and maturation.

May reduce inflammation.

Omega-3's anti-inflammatory properties counteract the effects of chronic inflammation in the testes and the seminal vesicles. This also supports healthy sperm production and function.

THE EVIDENCE: UBIQUINOL (COENZYME Q10)

Men with unexplained low sperm count may benefit from ubiquinol. Supplements can exert an antioxidant effect that has been shown to improve sperm density, sperm motility, and sperm morphology.

THE EVIDENCE: ALA VS. DHA

When it comes to getting our fill of omega-3s, ALA alone may be able to get the job done. Experts have long believed that DHA and EPA are the "hero" sources of omega-3 fatty acids, since ALA was thought to have a poor rate of conversion to DHA. But methods of measuring rates of ALA conversion have advanced. Using novel tracking strategies, scientists are now learning that DHA is stored in the body's tissues long-term, and only a small fraction of those reserves actually need to be topped off each day. That replenishment hurdle can easily be cleared with daily intake of ALA. While the conversion rate is small, it may actually be all that’s needed to maintain healthy DHA and EPA levels in the body.

The Science

IN SUMMARY: Omega-3s may help athletes perform at a higher level during physical activity and experience faster recovery times with less muscle discomfort.

THE EVIDENCE: ALAS AND MUSCLE PERFORMANCE

High consumption of ALA (1.9 g/day) is tied to better aerobic performance compared to low consumption of ALA (0.75 g/day). ALA has been shown to improve oxygen use efficiency. It also promotes the use of fat for energy during prolonged exercise after carbohydrate sources have been depleted. 2

THE EVIDENCE: OMEGA-3S AND RECOVERY

Omega-3 supplementation may turn down the body's inflammatory response and decrease oxidative stress after exercise. This may reduce exercise-induced muscle damage, which in turn may support faster recovery times. 3

THE EVIDENCE: OMEGA-3S + WHEY PROTEIN

High-quality protein sources like whey have long been known to support muscle recovery after physical activity. Consuming whey with omega-3 fatty acids before exercising may add to these benefits. The combination has been shown to improve strength and power and reduce delayed-onset muscle soreness. 4

THE EVIDENCE: ALA VS. DHA

When it comes to getting our fill of omega-3s, ALA alone may be able to get the job done. Experts have long believed that DHA and EPA are the "hero" sources of omega-3 fatty acids, since ALA was thought to have a poor rate of conversion to DHA. However, methods of measuring rates of ALA conversion have advanced. Using novel tracking strategies, scientists are now learning that DHA is stored in the body's tissues long-term, and only a small fraction of those reserves actually need to be topped off each day. That replenishment hurdle can easily be cleared with daily intake of ALA. While the conversion rate is small, it may actually be all that’s needed to maintain healthy DHA and EPA levels. 5,6,7

The Science

IN SUMMARY: In summary: Adequate or supplementary ALA omega-3s may offer protection for older adults against cognitive declines and neurologic conditions like stroke.

THE EVIDENCE: ALA OMEGA-3S AND COGNITIVE DECLINE

• Dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids during older adulthood may reduce the risk of all-cause dementia or cognitive decline by 20%. 4

• ALA supplementation during midlife, years before the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms may help prevent or ameliorate slowed brain glucose metabolism, which contributes to the development of AD. 5

THE EVIDENCE: ALA OMEGA-3S AND NEUROLOGIC PROTECTION

• ALA supplementation supports brain health and increases antioxidant activity by increasing levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factors (BDNF), which promotes the growth of new nerve cells in the brain.6

• Low levels of BDNF may increase stroke risk and inhibit stroke recovery, while targeting BDNF levels may support stroke recovery7, suggesting that ALA may support recovery from neurologic conditions like stroke. 8

THE EVIDENCE: ALA VS. DHA

When it comes to getting our fill of omega-3s, ALA alone may be able to get the job done. Experts have long believed that DHA and EPA are the "hero" sources of omega-3 fatty acids, since ALA was thought to have a poor rate of conversion to DHA.

Chia Fiber Xyloglucans

The Science

IN SUMMARY: The combination of Xyloglucans and Chia fiber significantly improved stool consistency, IBS symptoms (abdominal pain, bloating, discomfort), and quality of life compared to the placebo. Additionally, Xyloglucans and Chia Fiber treatment restored serum zonulin concentrations to within normal ranges, suggesting an improvement in intestinal barrier function.7

THE EVIDENCE: CHIA FIBER AND XYLOGLUCANS

A recent study demonstrated that Xyloglucans and Chia Fiber significantly improves abdominal pain, bloating, discomfort, and stool consistency in patients with IBS-C. It also led to a reduction in serum zonulin concentrations, suggesting a potential role in restoring intestinal barrier integrity and permeability. XP+CS was a safe therapeutic option that significantly improved the quality of life and psychological well-being of IBS-C patients.

The positive effects of Xyloglucans and Chia Fiber on stool consistency, IBS symptoms, and quality of life were observed as early as 15 days from treatment onset.

This is particularly relevant given that many existing treatments for IBS-C are ineffective in managing all symptoms and improving quality of life. Unlike some laxatives or certain fibers that can cause side effects or worsen symptoms, Xyloglucans and Chia Fiber normalized stool consistency without causing diarrhea or other adverse effects.

The study also found a weak correlation between serum zonulin concentration and IBS symptoms (specifically constipation), supporting the growing evidence that barrier dysfunction plays a role in IBS-C pathophysiology.

This study provides clinical evidence for the gastrointestinal effects of chia fiber in combination with xyloglucan. This therapy is safe, well-tolerated, and effective in controlling constipation, abdominal pain, and bloating in IBS-C patients, significantly improving their quality of life.
