Alaskan sockeye salmon are among the purest of all ocean fish

The natural EPA and DHA levels in our salmon help ensure optimal bioavailability of the omega’s.

Sockeye are also richest of all salmon species in the powerful biological antioxidant called astaxanthin: a natural carotenoid that imparts a rich red color to our oil and eliminates the need for the added tocopherols present in other brands.

pureVita contains ONLY pure Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon and no detectable mercury (<0.01 ppm). Each 1,000mg of our Salmon Oil provides approximately 200mg of total omega-3 fatty acids, including about 80mg of EPA and 73mg of DHA (153 mg EPA + DHA).

Additionally, laboratory analysis reveals 32 distinct fatty acids scarcely found in highly processed "purified" others.

What are omega-3 fatty acids?
Omega-3 fatty acids are a form of polyunsaturated fats, one of four basic types of fats that animals and humans derive from food. (Cholesterol, saturated fat, and monounsaturated fat are the others.) All polyunsaturated fats, including omega-3s, are increasingly recognized as being important to excellent health.

Veterinarians, doctors and scientists believe that consuming too many foods rich in saturated fats attributes to the development of degenerative diseases, including heart disease and even cancer. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, however, are healthy for animals and humans. Omega-3 fatty acids, which are found primarily in cold-water fish, fall into this category, along with omega-6 fatty acids, which are found in grains, most plant-based oils, poultry and eggs.

Why are omega-3 fatty acids important?
Omega-3s (and one omega-6) are considered important fatty acids because they are critical for good health. They are essential building blocks your dog and cat needs for a healthy heart and strong immune system. PureVita’s™ natural salmon Oil infusion imparts a range of different omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA, making it the ultimate source of these important nutrients.

There are different types of omega-3 fatty acids
Key Omega-3 fatty acids include eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), both found primarily in oily cold-water fish such as salmon, tuna and mackerel. Aside from fresh seaweed, plant foods rarely contain EPA or DHA.

A third omega-3, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is found primarily in dark green leafy vegetables, flaxseed oil and certain vegetable oils. ALA is not readily accessible to animals, which must use several enzymatic steps in their metabolism to convert it into a useful configuration like EPA. Thus, scientists estimate that only a small fraction of ALA benefits dogs; and cats totally lack one of the metabolic enzymes to utilize ALA. Some dogs, too are extremely poor in utilizing ALA, especially if high amounts of metabolically "competitive" Omega -6 fatty acids are present. Dogs constantly suffer with skin problems unless their food is supplemented with EPA found abundantly in PureVita™

Heart disease and omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids have been demonstrated to improve heart health in dogs, cats and humans. They play a part in keeping cholesterol levels low, stabilizing irregular heart beat (arrhythmia) and reducing blood pressure.

Omega-3 fatty acids are also natural blood thinners, reducing the "stickiness" of blood cells (called platelet aggregation), which can lead to such complications as blood clots and stroke.

Specifically, two papers reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in collaboration with investigators from the University of California at San Francisco have shown levels of omega-3 fatty acids to be inversely correlated with the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) and stroke.

PureVita’s™ salmon oil infusion is naturally balanced to deliver the optimal amount of omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to help your dog or cat avoid arthritis and stiff joints
As dogs and cats' age, their movement may become difficult, their joints may lose mobility and they may suffer from arthritic signs. These painful signs of inflammation can make them less comfortable and can greatly limit the ability to exercise lowering quality of life.

Scientific studies have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids can help to reduce joint stiffness, swelling, tenderness and overall fatigue. Numerous studies report that participants with inflammatory diseases who ingest omega-3s are more successful in combating arthritis.

Help your dog or cat’s mental well being with omega-3 fatty acids
"Fatty acids contained in fish such as salmon may prove to function as nature's own anti-depressants," says a study of 30 patients conducted by a research team headed by Andrew Stoll, M.D., director of the pharmacology research laboratory at Harvard University.

The university's McLean Hospital found that some of the patients' symptoms of manic depression responded favorably to treatment with fish oil supplements.

Toyama Medical and Pharmaceutical University in Toyama, Japan, showed one omega-3 acid, DHA, to prevent an increase in extra aggression during periods of stress.

Omega-3 fatty acids, both DHA and EPA, are found in fatty fish, including salmon and cod. They may work by increasing serotonin levels, thus boosting neurotransmitter activity, as do anti-depressants such as Prozac. They may also help by restocking the outer brain cells, which receive chemical signals.

More about the benefits of: Omega Fatty Acids

Medical research shows omega fatty acids have health benefits.
Scientists made one of the first associations between omega-3 fatty acids and good health while studying the Inuit (Eskimo) people of Greenland in the 1970s. As a group, the Inuit suffered far less from certain diseases (coronary heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, psoriasis) than their European counterparts. Yet their diet is very high in fat from eating whale, seal, salmon and other fish.

Eventually researchers realized that these foods were all rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which provided real disease-countering benefits.

Omega 3’s help prevent discomforts related to inflammation
Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Raynaud's disease and other autoimmune diseases greatly decrease quality of life. Diets high in omega-3 fatty acids (such as fish oils) have been shown to increase survival in people with autoimmune diseases. This is probably because the omega-3s help the arteries - as well as many other parts of the body - stay inflammation free. EPA and DHA are successful at this because they can be converted into natural anti-inflammatory substances called prostaglandins and leukotrienes, compounds that help decrease inflammation and pain.
