SEAL OIL:

 BEST SOURCE OF OMEGA 3

 

As GATEWAY has not been available for the past 20 years, substitutes of one description or another have become popular. The most common of these would be fish and flaxseed (Linseed) oil. GATEWAY is superior to these substitutes for the following reasons:

  1. Unlike both flaxseed and fish oils, GATEWAY has only traces of omega 6 and therefore is believed to be the product best suited to immediately and effectively reduce the imbalance. Salmon oil has anywhere from two to five times the omega 6 content of GATEWAY. Flaxseed oil has nearly three times the omega 6 content of GATEWAY. When the goal is to restore the balance of omega 3 vs omega 6 why keep adding a lot of omega 6 as found in fish and vegetable oil?
    In the ORSOQ study, two groups of Danish volunteers consumed 5 grams of seal oil per day. In two weeks, the tests showed a 60% drop in the omega 3 - omega 6 imbalance.
  2. Most fish oils have only two of the three main ingredients of omega 3 (EPA and DHA) while GATEWAY not only has all three (DHA, EPA, and DPA) but they also appear in the same relative proportions as found naturally in the human body.
  3. Because GATEWAY'S's chemical structure allows it to be more readily absorbed in the human body, the omega 3's in GATEWAY enter the blood stream more quickly than other fish or flaxseed oils for a swifter result.
  4. Flaxseed oil is not natural omega 3 but relies on the body's ability to convert it into omega 3. This only occurs if all the body functions are fully developed and working properly. This transformation not only takes time but it is also difficult to measure the amount, if any, of omega 3 actually being converted. The very young, the ageing and those suffering from various ailments may find their bodies unable to convert flaxseed oil to omega 3. Actually - the excess of omega 6 is likely to block the body's ability to make omega 3's from other fatty acids. When we couple the fact that flaxseed oil contains three times more omega 6 than does GateWay with the fact that flaxseed oil is not a natural omega 3, it is difficult to believe that flaxseed oil could effectively reduce the dangerous omega 3 - omega 6 imbalance. 
  5. In their book called Protein Power: Michael and Mary Eades state: " . . . But taking flax seed oil is kind of like buying crude oil and running it through your home distillery to make gasoline for you car. If that's the only ay you can get gasoline, then that's what you have to do. If you can buy the gasoline already distilled, however, it is much more efficient to do that and avoid the hassle of the home distillation process."
  6. Because GATEWAY comes strictly from seal blubber, it is a much purer oil that fish oils which are obtained by grinding, cooking and pressing fish offal, or whole fish.
