What is it for?

This is a delicious, lemon-flavoured fish oil (omega 3) supplement in 200ml bottles. The product is a totally clean, stable whole body fish oil with a lovely, tangy lemon taste (no fishiness at all - promise!).
The health benefits of oily fish were particularly brought to light by studies of the Eskimo diet. Eskimos naturally consume fresh fish every day and it has been noted that they rarely suffer cardiovascular disease and maintain normal blood viscosity throughout their lifetimes.

Fatty acids are also recognised as having essential roles in normal brain function – how many people were told as a child to eat their fish because it is a “brain food”? Science backs up this idea with many published studies linking DHA to normal brain development in the unborn child.

Other functions of fatty acids and a suitable ratio of omega 3 and omega oils include the maintenance of eye health, cell membrane integrity, skin health, joint mobility and normal liver function.

What does it contain?

Lem-O-3 contains pure, clean fish oil with 7% extract of green lemon and no other flavourings or artificial ingredients. Lem-O-3 is made from the whole body of oily fish, and not just fish livers. We do not use fish livers because, although there are known benefits from fish liver oil supplements (particularly cod liver oil) in relation to maintaining joint mobility, there are also disadvantages.

Oily fish are often harvested from polluted waters, where heavy metals can accumulate in the liver. Our product provides the benefits of the oily fish and removes the potential disadvantage of the pollutants.
The oil in all our products is guaranteed clean, stable and free from heavy metals, mercury, cadmium, lead, PCBs and other contaminants, and we can offer batch certificates of analysis to show the purity of our oils.

Who can benefit?

Everybody can benefit from taking fish oil.
Even children enjoy the taste, and the oil can be taken straight from a spoon or mixed for example with yoghurt. It is ideal for all family members.
