How does the omega-3 in Res-Q 1250 compare to the omega-3 in "omega-3 oil spreads"?

Res-Q 1250 provides the proper balance of EPA and DHA, (omega-3 fatty acids) for cardiovascular health. In fact, most omega-3 fortified foods do not contain any EPA and DHA at all!

How is this possible, when the label lists omega-3?

The omega-3s in fortified foods is typically found in the form of an omega-3 fatty acid called "ALA." The problem with ALA is that the body must metabolize ALA. ALA must be converted into EPA and DHA.

So if the body converts it, then I am still getting an equal amount of EPA and DHA right?

No. You are getting very little, if any, EPA and DHA. Only a very small percentage, approximately 1-3%, of ALA can be converted into the heart healthy omega-3 metabolites EPA and DHA. Some research reports suggest that some people may lack the ability to properly convert ALA into EPA and DHA at all!

We looked at a popular name brand omega-3 spread. The added omega-3 butter substitute spread is not the right type of omega-3 for cardiovascular health!
In order to achieve an amount of EPA and DHA equal to a daily dosage of Res-Q 1250 (6 capsules per day), you would have to eat at least two huge containers of this omega-3 spread!

Summary:
It’s possible that healthy omega-3 oil spread could be a good oil to substitute for other oils, for use on your bread. However, don’t think that you can skip taking omega-3 as a supplement. Omega-3 spread does not provide anywhere near enough omega-3 that you can skip taking an omega-3 supplement. As far as obtaining omega-3 for general health benefits attributed to omega 3, it is virtually useless.
