Oil Purity
eye q contains high quality marine and botanical oils. Here are a few of the key facts that you may want to know so that you, and your children, can take eye q oils with confidence.
Five facts about the omega-3 component of eye q:
- In eye q, the hi-EPA marine oil comes from the flesh of small fish, specifically sardines and pilchards. Other organs are excluded, so the oil does not have any elevated levels of Vitamins A and D, which can often be found in liver oils.
- These fish are harvested at specific times of the year, boosting the amount of EPA or DHA in their flesh. This is important for the quality of the fish oil.
- Equazen only deal with suppliers who actually process the oil and who are known to not deal with agents or secondary parties.
- To make sure any environmental pollutants are eliminated, all the oil undergoes a unique Equazen process ensuring the oil is as palatable and pure as possible.
- Finally, every batch of fish oil is tested by an independent laboratory to ensure that it is in full compliance with the stringent levels stated by the EC and the WHO with regards to dioxins, PCBs, heavy metals, pesticides and other pollutants.
Four facts about the omega-6 component of eye q:
- Source seed certified to be free of agro-chemicals and pesticides (99.1% purity).
- Extract with a simple mechanical press similar to that used for virgin olive oil, ensuring minimal contact with heat, light or oxygen. Equazen believe this to be superior to the other methods. Solvent extraction leaves chemical traces, and mainstream pressing causes heat damage to this delicate oil.
- Filter the oil to take out small particles, but never refine because this too will damage the oil.
- Ensure the oil remains in a natural state, with retention of all positive elements, such as natural anti-oxidants, beta-carotene and phytosterols, which are usually stripped away in refined EPO.
- The formulations also have Vitamin E in a natural form (versus synthetic) to help prevent damage to the oils from free radicals and enable them to be metabolised efficiently in the body.
Finally, when manufacturing these ingredients, pharmaceutical-grade facilities are used for encapsulation and packaging. Back to the main Products Page |
