South River Pure Omega 3 Fish Oils

South River Pure Omega 300/600/780 mg EC Pure Omega 300mg, 600mg, and 780mg EC are among our exclusive line of pharmaceutical grade, enteric-coated, ultra-pure fish oils. The molecularly-distilled oils provide the respective milligrams of omega-3 essential fatty acids per softgel, permitting dose flexibility. Independent third party assays document freshness and purity of every batch. The EPA and DHA present in fish oils can be concentrated either as free fatty acids, ethyl esters, or reconstituted triglycerides. Before distilling Before we get to the processing stage in fish oil production, it’s important to take care of the starting materials: non-GMO sardines, mackerel, and anchovies. By taking care and control of the fish at the start of the process, we are ensuring we have the highest quality product by the end. Molecular distillation Mollecular distillation is...

[caption id="attachment_902" align="alignnone" width="725"] Creative Commons: Ginny[/caption] With a lot of new research about food products in our supermarkets, there are many people who are choosing to buy organic products for themselves and their families.

Here, we discuss two ways to read the labels on your food for when you're thinking to yourself, "is this organic?"

Not All Fats are Created Equally

[caption id="attachment_860" align="alignnone" width="600"] Photo: cyclonebill[/caption] Why all fats are not the enemy The first thing that comes to many people’s minds when talking about fat in our food is a myriad of unhealthy foods such as chocolate cake or cheese fries. Fatty foods have a bad reputation because we know that when we eat a lot of unhealthy foods, it makes us gain weight. In fact, we get so used to eating fatty foods that it makes it easy for us to overeat as well as make us crave fatty foods when we are hungry. What we sometimes don’t realize is that there are more than one type of fat, and the right amount of good fats in our diet can actually help us shed some...

Reading Food Labels: The Basics

Serving Size We talk about servings every time we discuss how much food from each food group we eat in a day. For example, 2 servings of vegetables or 3 servings of fruit. But how do we know how much food is in a single serving? That’s where the nutrition labels come in. A Nutrition facts label will tell you immediately what is considered 1 serving of the packaged product. It will also let you know how many of those servings are in the container. Often, it’s just an approximate number since a lot of packaging is done by the weight of the item not the quantity inside. Everything listed on the label below will be the amount per single serving of the product. Measuring Servings by Ounces: If...

How Topical Compounding Works For Patients

[caption id="attachment_717" align="alignnone" width="500"] Photo: sunshinecity[/caption] Topical pharmaceutical compounding technology has greatly advanced over the last several years. Topical compounding has become a big part of conversations at podiatry meetings all across the country. Why is topical compounding so important? Topical compounding allows the delivery of high doses of medication to a localized area. It allows more medication to be applied to solve the problem than would be possible if the medication were taken systematically through orals. For example, when using a topical medication for pain management or post-surgery pain, large doses can be administered to just the affected area. Similarly, a medication applied topically reduces the risk of drug interactions and dependencies greatly. Topical compounded medications are especially useful in podiatry. When systematic drug interactions between pain medications...
