Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) January 31, 2010
Preventive Cardiologist Dr. James O’Keefe recently announced a new, environmentally-friendly Omega 3 product called CardioTabs Ocean Safe Omega 3 made from sustainable marine oil in time for American Heart Month (http://www.oceansafeomega3.com). The news coincides with national headlines from major media organizations such as the New York Times as well as top environmental, wellness and health care bloggers regarding the increased demand for omega 3 rich foods and oils and the environmental strain it’s imposing on our oceans’ ecosystems.

According to Dr. James O’Keefe, CardioTabs Ocean Safe Omega 3 is necessary. “If you eat fish once a day or two, three times a day, you end up with high mercury levels. So it’s a catch twenty-two. If you eat enough omega 3 from fish in your diet, you end up with too many toxic contaminants in your system -- at least in some instances,” said O’Keefe. “We (CardioTabs) have very pure, proven natural supplements that will get our (omega 3) levels back up to normal. If you are deficient in an essential nutrient, that’s a problem. One of the (most) predictable deficiencies in most Americans is that they are deficient in omega 3.”

CardioTabs Ocean Safe Omega 3 oil, which is made from sustainable calamari, is obtained via safe, net-free fishing techniques that do not destroy the ocean habitat or deplete fish stocks, according to a company white paper: http://foreveryoungdiet.com/green/ . ; Calamari are naturally high in DHA, one of the most important fatty acids for human health and one of the most common nutritional deficiencies in the American diet. Calamari are also inherently resistant to over-fishing as they have very short life spans, reach reproductive age quickly and reproduce rapidly.

CardioTabs recognizes that although one product can not solve the issue of over-fishing, the company is excited to offer a small way to reduce its own and its customers’ impact on the ocean ecosystem.
