THE MOST IMPORTANT OMEGA-3 BREAKTHROUGH IN 40 YEARS

Vectomega^® has superior absorption to krill and all other Omega-3s

GREEN BAY, WI, December 1, 2011 – While Omega-3 supplements from salmon have been well known and understood for many years, Vectomega^® is a revolutionary new whole-food Omega-3 DHA/EPA complex. It is a clinically studied extract of Omega-3 fatty acids from salmon naturally bound to phospholipids, and has been found to be absorbed 50 times better than the Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil, which is a true break from the past.

Multiple tests have shown that Vectomega has superior absorption compared to fish oil because of a patented process called "vectorization." This gentle cold water process is used to extract the naturally occurring marine phospholipids with the Omega-3 fatty acids. Initially documented in a scientific report from the University of Nancy in France, the study used the gold standard test of gastrointestinal absorption known as a CACO-2 study.

Researchers found that the Omega-3 fatty acids in Vectomega were absorbed better at both the intestinal and cellular level than Omega-3s in fish oil. In examining this data, they computed that this was an average of 50 times greater Omega-3 fatty acid absorption over fish oil.

"This is a tremendous breakthrough. People don’t take fish oil because they want fish fat—they take it for the Omega-3 fatty acids," states Terry Lemerond, founder and president of EuroPharma. "Vectomega delivers exact, bio-identical, whole-food Omega-3s from salmon without all the problems you get with oils. Not only is it better absorbed, it has zero problems with rancidity or burping an unpleasant fish taste. Plus you take just one tablet a day!"

"I’ve recommended fish oils for many years," says Jacob Teitelbaum, MD, bestselling author and medical director of the national Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers. "The benefits of Omega-3s for heart health, mental well-being, inflammation balance, joint support, and more are well known. Vectomega is an amazing Omega-3 supplement—the closest thing you can get to eating salmon without eating salmon. I've switched all my patients previously on fish oil to the new Vectomega form. It's pure, bio-identical, saves them money and at only 1-2 tablets a day is as effective as 10-12 regular fish oil capsules."

In a human study, 4 to 6 grams of fish oil were required to equal the benefits of Vectomega in supporting healthy cholesterol levels.^† It was demonstrated in this study that Vectomega increased HDL cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol that protects the heart by 13%.

In 2010, Vectomega was named one of the three best new products introduced to the nutraceutical market by Nutracon, calling it a "revolutionary whole-food Omega-3 product."
