GO-3 is the only all vegetable, eco-friendly, high-potency Omega 3,6,9 supplement that actually provides a high concentration of the vital EPA and DHA directly, without any of the risks of fish oil or the poor potency and health issues of flaxseed oil.

Fish oil is the most common basic component of Omega 3 supplements. Even the largest sellers of fish oil supplements admit that toxins are a serious issue. The CEO of one of these better known companies stated to NutraIngredients-usa.com on 24 March 2011, “Salmon naturally contains elevated levels of arsenic, which makes purification of this fish oil very important.” What he should have said is that the high levels of arsenic makes avoiding fish oil itself very important.

Why should you trust that any product which the supplier, the scientific community, and the entire industry admits is affected by serious, even lethal toxins has been thoroughly tested and purified? Some toxic substances, such as Dioxin, are so poisonous that no amount is safe, even a few molecules of Dioxin is considered a carcinogen.

Fish has such serious, health threatening defects that physicians advise us to limit consumption of fish to no more than twice a week. And fish oil production is so lightly regulated (if regulated at all) that you can’t be sure what you’re putting in your body with fish oil supplements.

But the good news is there’s no need to take fish oil supplements any more. GO-3 is a safe, effective, more nutritious, renewable, eco-friendly, competitively priced alternative.

Biotivia set out three years ago to create a balanced Omega 3,6,9 supplement that compares with fish oil in terms of the effective potency but did not suffer the failings and compromises found in the existing green alternatives to fish oil. An enormous amount of time and scientific resources were invested in the development of GO-3. The project was a joint effort amongst Biotivia and our scientific colleagues in Switzerland, Italy and France. At Biotivia we knew it could be done and we knew it was worth doing. It was a frustrating and difficult job but, ultimately, well worth the effort.

Our mission to create a new eco-friendly, Omega 3,6 and 9 supplement with none of the contamination found in most fish and krill oils, and none of the health and potency disadvantages of existing green Omega products, produced a unique supplement with powerful health benefits. By consuming the DHA ‘fatty acid chains’ in GO-3 directly, rather then by relying on your body to inefficiently convert the ALA contained in other Omega 3 products into DHA, you obtain as much as 90 times the amount of actual DHA with GO-3 than you would from the same amount of flaxseed oil. This is accomplished without the risk of exposure to the toxins found in most ocean and farmed fish. A further important improvement over these products is that GO-3 does not go rancid in a matter of weeks as do fish products. The shelf life of GO-3 is two years, more if refrigerated.

Did we say 90 times more potent? That’s right. You see, the fatty acids contained in flaxseed oils are virtually unusable, resulting in the body's elimination of between 75% and 85% of the beneficial fatty acids they contain. Fish oil supplements are only slightly more absorable than flaxseed oil. With GO-3 you get far more potent effects than with inferior ALA-based supplements.

A big advantage of Green Omega 3 our customers really enjoy is no more fishy taste or, worse still, fish breath. And that’s because GO-3 is 100% plant based.

GO-3 is also eco-friendly, clean, green and renewable.

Since Biotivia was out to create a superior heart and brain health supplement we did not stop at simply replacing the old school products that dominate the market with something slightly better. That is never how Biotivia designs supplements. We began with a clean sheet of paper and formulated a new state of the art supplement based upon the science, much of which was not even known when fish and flaxseed oil supplements were formulated.

We researched thousands of possible ingredient combinations to arrive at the ideal formulation of heart healthy molecules to bring the world a supplement that will be the gold standard for years to come. No compromises were made in the creation of GO-3.

Five times as effective than fish oil per mg.

Fish oil is in a complex fatty molecule that must to be converted through the process of digestion into usable DHA and EPA. Because of this over 80 percent is wasted through elimination. The fish breath and gastric problems about 50% of all fish oil users experience is a result of the inability of one's intestines to absorb all but a small amount of fish oil consumed. The EPA and DHA in Green Omega 3 is already in a form which can be fully utilized by your body. This means that each mg of Green Omega 3 is functionally equal to about 5 mg of fish oil. 

According to industry expert Dr. Rudi Moerck, the vast majority of fish oil being sold is actually rancid before you even open the bottle, because it doesn't have the protective antioxidants found in Green Omega 3.

Why not Flaxseed Oil?

It is important to know why flaxseed oil is not a preferred vegetarian source of Omega 3 fatty acids.

1. The eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is one of the main constituent of Omega 3 alpha linolenic acid (ALA) found in flaxseed oil and contributes greatly towards the reported properties of flaxseed oil. But the amount of EPA present in flaxseed oil is very low. Only 1% of the total omega3 alpha linolenic acid gets converted into EPA during metabolism. In comparison Green Omega 3 contains pure EPA and DHA which can be utilized directly and easily without the losses from metabolism.
2. According to the study published in ‘American Journal of Clinical Nutrition’ flaxseed oil is found very less effective against inflammatory conditions. Generally, flaxseed oil has been considered to be anti-inflammatory agent. But few more studies reveal the shocking truth that it actually increases inflammation in most of the cases.
3. There is an ongoing debate over the controversial role flaxseed oil plays in cases of prostate conditions. Although, very limited research has been carried out in this aspect, few studies are pointing out alpha linolenic acid may very well be one of the stimulants of prostate issues.
4. A preliminary study has suggested that high dietary alpha linolenic acid has increased the risk of dangerous breast growths.
5. If there is a possibility of intestine obstruction, flaxseed oil should not be ingested. People suffering from a kind of systemic sclerosis should avoid the use of flaxseed oil. Although, it is believed that a gradual induction of flaxseed oil improves the bowel movements in some cases, many times people suffering from this condition have reported severe constipation and in few cases, even bowel obstruction after ingestion of flaxseed oil.
6. Animal studies have indicated that if large intake of flaxseed oil has been taken during pregnancy, then it may hamper the development of the reproductive system in its embryonic stage.
7. If taken in large amounts, it has adverse effects like flatulence and loose stools.
8. Few laboratory and animal studies have been carried out to identify the effects of flaxseed oil consumption on blood triglyceride levels. Effects on blood triglyceride levels in animals are unclear; in some cases results came with increased levels of triglyceride, and decreased levels in other research. Human studies carried out in this area have shown again mixed results, with decreased levels in some studies, but no effect in other studies.
9. A dose of 250mg is needed to achieve the full health effects of Omega 3. Our Green Omega 3 provides this amount and more.

Besides these side effects, the reports of other researches on effects of flaxseed oil in other treatments are quite confusing and not conclusive. There has been general lack of full fledged research in this regard. Hence, the hyped claims can’t be supported and recommended. Flaxseed oil is principally used as an industrial solvent in the paint and lubricants industries.  Over 95% of total flaxseed oil production is directed to this application. Flaxseeds themselves are known to be quite healthy and safe however the oil has not shown the same efficacy or safety

Hear what a few of the many satisfied users thought?

I have a 9 year old son who found it hard to concentrate at school and home, all he wanted to do was watch tv. I read about the benefits of omega 3 oils and decided to give him some Green Omega 3 with each meal. After 5 months he has changed so much and now goes to the library to read the latest Harry Potter rather than watch tv. Not only does he concentrate more but he has an interest in everything now. Thank you Biotivia
