Fish oils & omegas
Omegas are vital to a longer life.
Your body needs fatty acids to survive. Take care of your heart, joints, and cognitive health and counteract inflammatory factors with optimal doses of especially EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids.
Why these nutrients are important
Your body uses energy for every single thing it does, and a constant supply of energy is needed.
The energy-generating factories of your cells are called mitochondria. They convert food into a type of energy called ATP (adenosine triphosphate), and up to 95% of the energy that the body uses is ATP.
The macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) are together with other nutrients (some of them mentioned below) involved with ATP production of long-term energy.
NAD+
NAD+, short for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a key coenzyme found in every cell of the body. It's critical for the body's production of ATP and can also help you fight cell aging.
However, as you age, your levels of NAD+ start to decrease, and a decline in cellular metabolism and energy production can lead to a feeling of fatigue and affect motivation negatively.
CoQ10
The coenzyme (small molecule) CoQ10 is your body's essential compound for cellular energy production and is found at the highest levels in the cell's membranes and is essential for mitochondria function, the powerhouse of the cell.
CoQ10 helps support energy for your organs and tissues, including the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and muscles. The levels of CoQ10 decline with age.
Vitamin B complex
B vitamins act as a coenzyme and are essential for processing carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins in order to generate energy.
All of the eight B vitamins support energy production.
Moreover, B vitamins also provide systemic benefits including DNA repair, neurotransmitter synthesis, healthy methylation, and reduced homocysteine.

Why omega-3s are so important
This is a good start for more energy!
Are you looking for energy support and don’t know where to start?
These two products:
can help support your energy production, but also metabolism, heart, brain/cognitive health, and more.
Start with breakfast
A healthy, hearty breakfast is the most basic tool to help you stay energized and focused throughout the day. It has been proven that people who don’t eat breakfast tend to be less active throughout the day than those who do.
Stay hydrated
Water is an essential resource for all of life’s power and functionality and staying hydrated is also crucial for protecting your muscle-building proteins from being broken down and rather, burning fat for energy.
Eat sufficient protein
Replacing some of your fat or carbohydrate-rich meals or snacks with a higher-protein option can help support your muscles. As an added benefit, digesting protein may burn more calories than fat and carbohydrates.
All-in-one
This is the ONE!
Enjoy both mitochondrial & fast-acting energy support.
Dr. Shade’s The One is a nano-formulated blend of nutraceuticals and botanicals designed to support healthy mitochondrial function, metabolism, and stress resistance.
The unique formula includes PQQ (Pyrroloquinoline Quinone), resveratrol, CoQ10 as ubiquinone, DeltaGold(R) Tocotrienols, and thirteen time-honored adaptogenic herbs.

Enjoy exceptional freshness
There are quality criteria for fish oil, and it must be cleaned and processed.
The need for purity and stability
Environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs accumulate in fish, and fish oil needs to undergo processing and cleaning to ensure a safe product with absent or very low levels of these toxins.
Aside from purity, stability is important as fish oil can go rancid and would then not be as healthy anymore. The processing also needs to be gentle to protect the delicate omega-3 fatty acids.
State-of-the-art process in sustainable fisheries
All the fish oils from Life Extension® are of the highest quality and do not contain contaminants, on the contrary, they often exceed industry standards for purity and quality.
They have undergone state-of-the-art processing, which results in good stability. They are made in sustainable fisheries and processed within hours to provide exceptional freshness.
The IFOS certificate
All the Super Omega-3 formulas have also undergone IFOS testing and bear the IFOS seal.
IFOS is an independent organization setting the highest quality standards for fish oil and testing for purity, stability, and potency.
No more fishy aftertaste...
This processing also means that you can avoid acid regurgitation with a fishy aftertaste — as can be quite normal with the intake of fish oil.
If you want to be absolutely sure of no fishy aftertaste, you can choose "enteric coated softgels" for extra protection. Learn more about the product here.
Fat, fatty acids, omegas, fish oil, EPA/DHA in a nutshell
The body requires fat for energy, structural and other purposes.
Fat is composed of fatty acids. Only two fatty acids which come from plants are essential for the body, one in the omega-6 family (linoleic acid) and one in the omega-3 family (alpha linolenic acid, ALA).
Omega fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids that have special, beneficial properties, versus saturated fatty acids/fat from milk and meat.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic) are the biologically important omega-3 fatty acids from fish. While these are not essential as the body could build them from ALA, the production is not efficient and thus it's better to obtain EPA and DHA in preformed form.
A typical Western is often filled with foods containing high amounts of omega-6 fats (red meat, poultry, eggs, and most processed foods) and are usually lacking omega-3 fatty acids, which promotes inflammation. But, omega-6 is not all bad as some amount is required, and one omega-6 fatty acid (GLA) is especially beneficial as it helps counteract inflammation.
In essence, most people don't obtain enough health promoting omega-3 (EPA and DHA) from the diet and can benefit from fish oil supplementation.
