Pure Arctic Oil is sourced from fresh, wild cod in the pristine Arctic waters of Norway. The result is a high-quality, omega-3-rich oil with a wide range of naturally occurring full-spectrum fatty acids. This means that the omega-3-rich cod fish oil in Pure Arctic Oil contains all of the same naturally occurring fatty acids found in wild Arctic cod. As a result, no natural fatty acids are lost during the gentle processing steps used to make the omega-3-rich oil, so when you take your daily dosage of Pure Arctic Oil, you receive all the same benefits from the fatty acids as if you were eating Arctic wild cod.
Full-spectrum fatty acid content is important because all the fatty acids work synergistically, in addition to their individual functions. By taking Pure Arctic Oil, which contains many naturally present fatty acids, you receive several benefits that support both your body and mind.
It is worth noting that Pure Arctic Oil, in addition to the more commonly known fatty acids, also contains very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLC-PUFAs) from C24:0 and up. These are fatty acids with longer chain lengths and a greater degree of unsaturation than the more familiar long-chain polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA (C20:5) and DHA (C22:6). VLC-PUFAs have recently been discovered to play a role in the tissues of the retina, brain, and spermatozoa. Studies also suggest that these fatty acids may offer interesting benefits*.
VLC-PUFAs, including powerful fatty acids like C24:1 Nervonic acid and C26:6, are rapidly gaining recognition for their role in the tissues of the retina, brain, and spermatozoa. These unique long-chain fatty acids work in harmony with shorter-chain fatty acids, amplifying their benefits. Research shows promising effects on skin and bone health. Very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in Pure Arctic Oil.
