More Information
Fish oil triglyceride concentrate
The natural Omega-3 concentrate is made from
pure anchovies from the unpolluted waters of
the South Pacific. This high-quality
triglyceride concentrate contains 85% EPA
and DHA, and with such a high concentration
only small amounts are needed to get the
needed results in our bodies.* Our Omega-3
are triglycerides, the form naturally found
in fish and plant species and thus the form
the body most easily recognizes and absorbs.
Over 98% of all fats ingested from foods are
in the triglyceride form. Triglyceride fish
oils take longer to produce, but for us
there’s no other way. The oil is certified
by Friend of the Sea.
Extra virgin olive oil
The Spanish Picual olive is selected due to
its richness in Omega-9 and very high
antioxidant content. The olives are of
pre-harvest quality and in the process the
stones are taken out and only the fruits are
cold-pressed, resulting in an extra virgin
oil, rich in Omega-9 (Oleic acid) with very
high content of antioxidants called
polyphenols (above 750 mg/kg).
Vitamin D3
Essent contains vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol)
and 3 softgel capsules provide 20 μg. We use
a natural vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) made
from lanolin. Lanolin is a naturally
occurring fat found in sheep’s wool. The
vitamin D is made by dissolving a precursor
to vitamin D from the lanolin. It is then
chemically altered and activated by exposure
to ultraviolet (UV) light. The chemical
process is comparable to the process which
occurs in the human skin when it produces
vitamin D.
Cacao Powder
Cacao powder from defatted cocoa seeds
contains high amounts of polyphenols,
particularly a sub-class known as flavanols
with nutritional benefits. A daily dose of 3
softgel capsules provides 17.9 mg of
polyphenols.
Natural hydroxytyrosol
The hydroxytyrosol in Essent is a 100%
natural extract obtained by cold-pressing
olive fruits, followed by water-based
extraction. Hydroxytyrosol is the major
phenolic compound found in olives and is
considered to provide most of the health
benefits of both the olive fruit and extra
virgin olive oil. Hydroxytyrosol prevents
blood lipids from oxidation and protects
essential Omega fatty acids. Hydroxytyrosol
and its derivatives contribute to the
protection of blood lipids from oxidative
damage,* a key risk factor of cardiovascular
disorders, if 5 mg is consumed daily. This
is the dose of hydoxytyrosol found in 3
softgel capsules.
Gelatin from fish
The softgel capsules are made of high-grade
pharmaceutical fish gelatin derived from
fish skin and are free from any artificial
colors.
