02 Mar Top 5 Reasons Why I LOVE Young Living’s OmegaGize³

The day I was so fortunate as to be introduced to Young Living essential oils, was the day that I embarked on a life-changing adventure towards vibrant health and wellness. The essential oils have had an enormous impact on my life. I still have a long, long way to go, but I am grateful to now be going in the right direction. The funny part of this journey is, I was so excited about the oils, that I didn’t even realize that Young Living had a TON of other products! Did you know that Young Living isn’t all about essential oils?! They have a huge range of supplements, bath and body products, even food – all infused with their incredible essential oils!

One of my favorite supplements, that has made a BIG difference in my life is Young Living’s OmegaGize³.

Top 5 Reasons Why I LOVE Young Living’s OmegaGize³

Young Living’s OmegaGize³ is a power-packed supplement containing three important core daily supplements, omega-3 fatty acids, CoQ10 and Vitamin D. These are then enhanced with an essential oil blend containing clove, German chamomile, spearmint essential oils which may support general wellness. Together, these ingredients work to support the natural immune and inflammatory response, normal mood and normal brain, heart, eye and joint health. Here are the top 5 reasons why I love Young Living’s OmegaGize³:

1. All fish oils are not created equal.

We all know that certain fish contain high levels of mercury, heavy metals and other contaminants. We even take care not to eat these types of fish on a regular basis. Did you know that some companies use those very fish to create their fish oils? Just as with any other natural product, it is so important to know where the product is sourced. Young Living goes to great lengths to ensure that they can source the purest fish oils available. Their fish oil is harvested from small fish in pristine waters and is free of heavy metals, PCBs and dioxins, surpassing industry standards for purity.

2. Fish oil is very unstable and can turn rancid very quickly.

It’s a little embarrassing to admit this, but I have always believed that expiration dates on supplements were a scam. As I did my research, I was admittedly a little surprised to learn that fish oil is actually very unstable and will turn rancid very quickly, causing a lot of harm if consumed! Rancidity is mainly caused by exposure to oxygen, which can happen at any time during the processing and after opening the bottle.

There are several things for you to look out for in order to avoid rancidity. First of all, always make sure the supplement is packaged in a small dark amber glass container. Order straight from the manufacturer and have it shipped directly to you. Finally, ensure that the manufacturer has added an antioxidant to the supplement to maintain its’ integrity. I quickly inspected my 4 year old big plastic bottle of fish oil and found that there was no antioxidant added. BLECH! Not only does Young Living add one of the most potent antioxidants found in nature – clove essential oil, they have created an innovative liquid ocean capsule, which protects the contents, keeping them potent and fresh until the last capsule is consumed.

3. Bio-identical CoQ10 is added.

I love that CoQ10 has been added to OmegaGize³! This is a vital antioxidant that is naturally made by the body, which helps to support normal cellular function and energy production, especially in the heart, liver and kidneys. CoQ10 levels can naturally decline with age. It’s production can also be blocked by some commonly used medications. Young Living has added the bio-identical form of CoQ10, called ubiquinone which is the highest quality of CoQ10 available.

4.  OmegaGize³ contains Vitamin D3.

Everyone I know is deficient in Vitamin D3, including myself. While Vitamin D3 helps maintain normal circulation, supports a stable mood and helps the body to absorb calcium, a lack thereof has been linked to multiple health problems. The National Institute of Health’s (NIH) Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for Vitamin D3 supplements is between 400 and 600 IU. For me, personally, this was not nearly enough. OmegaGize³ contains 950 IU, which can be doubled if needed. It should also be considered that OmegaGize³ is infused with therapeutic grade essential oils. German Chamomile, for example, can increase our absorption by 15-16 times, thus greatly increasing the product’s bio-availability!

5. OmegaGize³ is full of essential oils!

One of the top 5 reasons why I love Young Living’s OmegaGize³ the most is because it is infused with powerful essential oils. Clove essential oil has been added especially for it’s antioxidant support. It also helps to support a healthy immune response and overall wellness. German chamomile essential oil works synergistically with the omega-3s to support a healthy inflammatory response. Finally delicious spearmint essential oil is added for taste.
