Product Overview
Simply put, taking fish oil daily could save your life! The research on fish oil proving its many health benefits is overwhelming. In fact, fish oil supplements may generally be a safer bet than consuming fish. Many experts now urge people to take fish oil supplements to get healthy omega-3 fatty acids instead of loading up on fish that may be contaminated with mercury and other dangerous toxins. New research shows that mercury from fish may actually damage your heart more than the omega-3s protect it!
Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary to keep all cells within the body functioning optimally. Since our bodies do not have the machinery to synthesize omega-3s, it is essential that we get them as part of our diet. Yet few Americans get enough. This widespread deficiency can dramatically imperil your health in many ways.
Studies have also shown that omega-3 fatty acids, specifically the EPA and DHA found in fish oil, can reduce inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of fish oil may make it helpful for relieving pain associated with arthritis and other chronic inflammatory conditions. Researchers speculate that fish oil's ability to reduce inflammation may be tied to its beneficial effects on heart, brain, eye and skin health as well.
Because of the abundance of exciting, fast-moving research on fish oil benefits, we wanted to make it easy to get a high quality fish oil supplement, which is why we decided to create our Omega-T® Fish Oil capsules, formulated by Andreas Papas, Ph.D., noted nutritional researcher, adjunct professor at the College of Medicine at East Tennessee State University and a senior scientific advisor of the Cancer Prevention Institute at Harvard's School of Epidemiology.
What Makes Stop Aging Now's Omega-T Fish Oil Superior?
-
Our Extra Strength Omega-T Fish Oil contains natural triglyceride oil obtained from wild Norwegian salmon. Some commercial fish oil supplements are altered chemically to create unnatural ethyl esters. This type of fish oil is less efficiently absorbed and utilized by the human body. In one study, men absorbed three times more of the EPA and DHA from natural triglyceride fish oil than from unnatural ethyl ester fish oil.
-
Omega-T Fish Oil is molecularly distilled using state-of the-art vacuum technology that gently removes toxic contaminants from the oil. Molecular distillation is currently the only way to reduce these environmental toxins to undetectable levels, rendering the oil safe for human consumption, without damaging the omega-3 fatty acids it contains. Our fish oil is third-party certified to be free of contaminants, such as mercury, PCBs and other dangerous environmental toxins.
-
Our premium formula is fortified with natural tocopherol and tocotrienol vitamin E, which serve as natural preservatives for guaranteed freshness. In addition, Omega-T contains 10 mg of lipase, a digestive enzyme included to enhance absorption and assimilation, while eliminating any possibility of fishy aftertaste or burps. Try this freshness test: Bite into your fish oil capsule — you can tell in an instant whether the fish oil is fresh and without the slightly rancid taste of other fish oil capsules. Just as you would not eat slightly off-odor or off-tasting fish, you should not take off-tasting fish oil capsules!
-
Our unique Omega-T Fish Oil provides 20 mg of CoQ10 per serving for enhanced cardiovascular protection, as well as 200 IU of vitamin D3 (50% of the USRDA for vitamin D) for its synergistic, body-wide health benefits.
-
Our extra strength formula is much more potent than typical fish oil supplements. Each daily serving of 2 capsules provides 1,400 mg of fish oil and 840 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, 420 mg of which is EPA and 280 mg of which is the brain-protecting DHA. The ratio of DHA to EPA found in our formula is the precise ratio that exists in nature and has been clinically proven to provide the greatest health benefits.
The Supplements That Science Created
Since our founding in 1995, our philosophy has been centered around a "show us the proof" approach. Every single active ingredient contained in our formulas is backed by strong clinical evidence supporting its anti-aging properties and total body wellness attributes. More importantly, we use the exact doses and exact brands used in the research studies. Read about the research behind the formula to see exactly why we have carefully selected each ingredient.

We also believe food plays a key role in longevity, which is why we create delicious Anti-Aging Recipes for our customers, to complement our superior supplements.
Quality You Can Trust
Equally important to potency and effectiveness, you get the reassuring comfort of Stop Aging Now's legendary quality. All of our premium products are made in the USA in a state-of-the art FDA inspected facility to meet the stringent standards of US Pharmacopeia (USP) for quality, purity, potency and disintegration. Most supplements are made to far lower standards.

Whether you take our premium products or those from another company, we strongly encourage to you to be sure to know where they are manufactured. If the bottle label doesn't say "Made in the USA", they are most likely not. Our manufacturing facilities are located in California, Illinois and Florida.

Their label shows 1,200 mg of fish oil,
which sounds comparable to our Omega-T
Fish Oil with 1,400 mg. Right? WRONG!
If you take a closer look, you will see that the actual amount of the
healthy omega-3s provided by this leading brand is only 408 mg vs. the extra
strength 840 mg in just a single serving of our Omega-T formula. This means
that the rest of their formula is just extra fatty oil that you don't need!
And if you look at the most important omega-3s, DHA and EPA, their formula
comes up short, providing almost 50% less!
If you take the leading brand,
you'll end up taking more pills, which will be more expensive and
more of a hassle!
Don't trust your health to low quality fish.
When you go to a restaurant, are you more
likely to order a plate of sprat or a plate of fresh
Norwegian salmon? If you chose salmon due to its purity, quality
and taste, then why would you not insist on the same standards
for your fish oil?
Source of Fish Fresh, cold water Norwegian salmon
The leading brand's formula is made from
a blend of 5 different fish, some of
them ranking among the cheapest and lowest
quality available. Anchovies contain 3 times more
mercury than salmon, according to an FDA
analysis.
Our superior Omega-T formula is made with fish
oil sourced almost entirely from
fresh, cold water Norwegian salmon.
This provides you with a superior source
of omega-3s with "minimal risk" of
mercury contamination according to the
Environmental Working Group (EWG).
It's not just about the fish oil...
The leading brand contains no synergistic ingredients to enhance its effectiveness or
freshness. This means that with the leading brand, you may not be getting the
optimal health benefits and you may experience that dreaded "fishy" aftertaste!
Our Omega-T formula contains 4 synergistic ingredients that make it superior.
| Additional Ingredients |
| Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol) |
33.3 IU |
 |
| CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) |
20 mg |
 |
| Vitamin D3 |
200 mg |
 |
| Lipase |
10 mg |
 |
To enhance the cardiovascular benefits of the omega-3s, we've added the powerful
antioxidant CoQ10 - something few companies do. The combination of omega-3s and
CoQ10 provides unparalleled heart protection.
Vitamin D offers synergistic cardiovascular support and bone-building benefits. We've included D3, the most absorbable form of the vitamin to give you more well-rounded protection with full body benefits.
For maximum freshness, we have also added Vitamin E, which acts as a
natural preservative and is extremely effective in keeping the oil fresh.
To help ease digestion and improve absorption, we have added Lipase, a fat-digesting enzyme that helps eliminate any chance of a fishy aftertaste, often know as "repeat."
Omega-T is a superior formula that ranks among one of the best fish oil
supplements available anywhere, and at a price that is unbeatable!
Does Made in the USA Matter?
If it doesn't say "MADE IN THE USA" on
the label, chances are it was made overseas using cheap labor and ingredients.
Our Omega-T formula is proudly made in the USA with the highest quality ingredients.
Even among products made in the USA,
quality levels can vary greatly. Like all of
our products, our Omega-T is made to
pharmaceutical standards in an FDA
inspected facility.
Don't get fooled by the label game played by the leading brand! Being
manufactured "for" a company with a U.S. address is code for the fact that it is
made overseas. Look for the U.S. Flag on the label and do not purchase or consume
any supplement that doesn't proudly display it!
 Made In The USA
What's missing from the label?
Sometimes it is what is NOT said that is the
most concerning.
Unlike our Omega-T formula, this label
says nothing about the product being molecularly
distilled or certified free of
toxins and contaminants such as mercury,
dioxin, lead and PCBs.
Molecularly Distilled
Certified Free of Toxins
Guaranteed Mercury Free
Our Omega-T formula is molecularly distilled
using state-of-the-art vacuum technology
that gently removes toxic contaminants
from the oil. Molecular distillation is currently
the only way to reduce environmental
toxins to undetectable levels, rendering the fish
oil safe for human consumption, without
damaging the omega-3 fatty acids it
contains.
Why take the risk? When it comes to dietary
supplements, and especially fish oil, you
should demand the purest product possible.

Fish Oil
The secret behind fish oil's amazing health benefits lies within its abundance of essential fatty acids called omega-3s. A great deal of new research shows that fish oil, naturally high in omega-3s, is a miracle supplement. Indisputably, getting lots of omega-3s into your cells can help cut the risk of fatal heart attacks, dementia and Alzheimer's, high blood pressure and strokes, rheumatoid arthritis, severe depression, attention deficit disorder, asthma, psoriasis, diabetes, lupus and migraines. (Heller AR. Mini Rev Med Chem. 2008 Feb;8(2):107-15., O’Keefe et al. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2008 Jan 22;51(3):249-55., Garattini S. J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown). 2007 Sep;8 Suppl 1:S30-3., Schwartz J. Am J Clin Nutr. 2000 Jan;71(1 Suppl):393S-6S., Burns JS, Dockery DW et al. Chest, 132(1):238-45 July 2007.) Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids, specifically the EPA and DHA found in fish oil can reduce inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of fish oil may make it helpful for relieving pain associated with arthritis and other chronic inflammatory conditions. (J Am Coll Nutr. 2002. Vol. 21, No. 6, 495-505.)
Studies have also indicated that omega-3 fatty acids are useful for both dry eyes and for the prevention of macular degeneration. (Arch Ophthalmol. 2008 Sep;126(9):1274-9., Health News. 2008 Sep;14(9):6-7.) In addition, fish oil can help trim off pounds and put you in a better mood, helping suppress aggression, hostility and irritability. Fish oil may even help prevent skin aging and damage resulting in premature wrinkles! (Hill AM et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 2007 May;85(5):1267-74. Owen C et al. Curr Opin Psychiatry. 2008 Jan;21(1):19-24. Stahl LA et al. Curr Opin Investig Drugs. 2008 Jan;9(1):57-64. Sublette ME et al. Bipolar Disord. 2007 Nov;9(7):759-65. Re S et al. Vet Res Commun. 2008 Mar;32(3):225-30. Kim HH et al. J Lipid Res. 2006 May;47(5):921-30.)
Omega-3 fatty acids are necessary to keep all cells functioning optimally. Since our bodies do not have the machinery to synthesize omega-3s, it is essential that we get them as part of our diet. (Hence, their classification as essential fatty acids.) Yet few Americans get enough. This widespread deficiency can dramatically imperil your health in many ways. (Surette ME. CMAJ. 2008 January 15; 178(2): 177-180. doi: 10.1503/cmaj.071356.)
Fish oil provides overall body protection, but in particular, has been shown to help prevent two dramatic events: heart attacks and Alzheimer's disease.
Fish oil beats cholesterol-lowering drugs. Fish oil is 45% more effective than cholesterol-lowering statins, such as Lipitor and Zocor, in preventing fatal heart attacks and 77% more effective than statin drugs in reducing the risk of dying from any cause! That's the stunning conclusion of a review of 97 studies by Swiss researchers at the University Hospital in Basel Switzerland, and published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in April of 2005. Yet, millions of Americans take statins, with potential adverse effects, when fish oil appears to be a far better, safer heart drug and all-round lifesaver. (Studer M et al. Arch Intern Med. 2005 Apr 11; 165(7): 725-30.)
Fish oil helps prevent sudden cardiac arrest. In an Italian study, 11,324 people took either 1000 mg of omega-3 fatty acids or a placebo. In those getting omega-3s, sudden cardiac deaths dropped 45% and deaths from all causes fell 20% over a two-year period. Much research shows that omega-3s tend to stabilize the bioelectrical impulses leading to irregular heartbeats and deadly heart stoppage. (Marchioli R et al. Circulation. 2002 Apr 23;105(16):1897-903.)
Fish oil may prevent heart arrhythmias. In a new German test, heart patients who took 840 mg of omega-3 in fish oil capsules for six months had fewer arrhythmias. A recent Harvard study found that older people who eat fatty broiled or baked fish five times or more a week cut their odds of atrial fibrilltion by 31%, compared with those who eat fish less than once a month. Researchers say that omega-3 fatty acids act like a drug to suppress the abnormal rhythms of the heart. (Rupp H et al. Herz. 2004 Nov;29(7):673-85., Mozaffarian D et al. Circulation. 2004 Jul 27;110(4):368-73.)
Fish oil may play a role in warding off Alzheimer's. Consuming omega-3 fatty acids in fish or fish oil capsules may cut your risk of Alzheimer's dramatically. In one study of 815 elderly individuals at Chicago's Rush Institute, people who ate the most omega-3-rich fish, such as salmon, were 80% less apt to develop Alzheimer's disease than non-fish eaters. (Morris MC et al. Arch Neurol. 2003 Jul; 60(7): 940-6.)
How does fish oil work in the brain? UCLA researchers found that a high ratio of fish oil may raise levels of an enzyme that protects brain cells from damage by beta amyloid plaque build-up. Beta amyloid is considered by many researchers a direct cause of Alzheimer's. The fish oil may act as an antidote to help prevent beta amyloid build-up in brain cells. (Cole GM et al. Ann NY Acad Sci. 2004 Dec;1035:68-84., Cole GM, Frautschy SA. Exp Gerontol. 2007 Jan-Feb;42(1-2):10-21.) Because the axons and cell membranes of your brain are surrounded by DHA, ensuring an adequate supply of this fatty acid allows for better transport of brain signals, improving all over brain functionality and possibly reducing mental decline.
What are the best sources of fish oil? Even if you eat fish—and certainly if you don't eat fish—top scientists now recommend taking fish oil capsules. Why? You can't be sure of getting optimal amounts of the right type omega-3 from fish and other sources; few people do. Fish oil capsules are a lifesaving insurance policy, guaranteeing the proper dose. And there is another important advantage, according to a team of Harvard researchers. Fish oil capsules are safer. (Mozaffarian D, Rimm EB. JAMA. 2006 Oct 18;296(15):1885-99.)
The researchers worry that some fish contain environmental toxins, such as mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and organochlorine pesticides (OC) that may wipe out the benefits of eating fish. In contrast, tests by the Harvard docs and others have consistently found commercial fish oil capsules free of toxic contaminants. (Mozaffarian D, Rimm EB. JAMA. 2006 Oct 18;296(15):1885-99., Bays HE. Am J Cardiol. 2007 Mar 19;99(6A):35C-43C.)
Thus, they say fish oil supplements are better than fish as a reliable safe source of all-important omega-3 fats. Stacy Foran Melanson, MD of the Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine states: "Our data...suggest that fish oil supplements may be preferable to fish consumption as a dietary guideline for the general population and as a therapeutic source of omega-3 fatty acids in patients with cardiovascular disease and depression." This was the conclusion reached in a recent medical journal. (Arch Pathol Lab Med 2005;129:74-77.)
Is flaxseed oil a substitute for fish oil? Not exactly. Flaxseed oil is the best vegetarian source of omega-3s. However, it is made up of plant-type short-chain fatty acids that must be converted in the body to long-chain fatty acids of the type in fish oil, in order for cells to utilize them. The body's efficiency at converting the short-chain fatty acids from flaxseed oil into usable long-chain fatty acids may vary from person to person. Therefore, many experts consider fish oil to be a superior source of omega-3s. (Metcalf RG et al. Am J Clin Nutr. 2007 May;85(5):1222-8., Surette ME. CMAJ. 2008 January 15; 178(2): 177–180. doi: 10.1503/cmaj.071356.)
