Pharmaceutical-Grade Omega-3 Harp Seal Oil Supplements
Seal Oil is "Bio-filtered" Fish Oil
As seals are much higher in the food chain than fish, seals use their digestive system to filter out the many natural impurities found in fish. The "bio-filtering" naturally enriches and adds an essential element not found in most fish oils; DPA. The natural purity and quality of seal oil is therefore higher than most fish oils.
What the Experts Say
Dr. Fereidoon Shahidi of Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN), a world-renowned scientist on seal product development provides the following explanation: "In comparing seal oil with fish oils, assimilation of seal oil into the body is more efficient that fish oils. EPA, DHA, and DPA in seal oil are located primarily in the terminal positions of the triglyceride molecules while they are preferentially present in the middle position of triglycerides in fish oils. This difference in the location of the Omega-3 PUFA is a major reason for the superior effect of seal oils compared to fish oils in disease prevention and potential health benefits."
Omega-3's, Seal Oil and Nursing Mothers
It is interesting that the Chinese consider a child one year old when born. It is in fact usually nine months old, and for that time, shares the mother's long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids. Recently it has been realized that the total supply of one of these Omega-3 fatty acids, DHA, cannot be made by the mother fast enough to help fully develop the infant brain in the last few moths of pregnancy.
Numerous studies have now explored the possible lesser abilities in newborns that can result from a deficiency in DHA. Some reports suggest that DHA-related developmental problems can be followed even in older children. As a result, nutritionists have been examining proposals for enriching infant formulas with fish oils known to contain DHA. The model for these formulas is obviously mother's milk, and comparisons show that fish oils are not the complete answer to a supplemental supply of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids.
The two fatty acids of this type common in fish oils are EPA and DHA which start off in roughly equal amounts. All of the polyunsaturated fatty acids become less, showing that the mother is having to draw on her own body reserves. However, the proportions of EPA and DHA in mothers milk changes rapidly over the first few weeks of nursing. The EPA also drops to about one third of the DHA over the first few weeks of nursing. What is usually ignored is the presence of the third long-chain Omega-3 fatty acid, DPA. In fish oils DPA can be as little as a tenth of the DHA. In seal oil it can be half or more of the percentage of DHA, and thus fits almost exactly the proportion in mother's milk.
Dr. P.J. Davis: Department of Biochemistry, Memorial University. St. John's NF, Canada
Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (n-3 PUFA) are reported to have cardioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in humans. The most common sources of dietary n-3 PUFA have been marine fish oils. However, in the absence of substantial added antioxidante, fish oils tend to oxidize rapidly, and concern has been expressed that increased oxidation of fish oil derived n-3 PUFA may result in increased levels of atherogenic oxidized Low Density Lipoprotein (OxLDL) in the plasma. We have obtained a refined blubber oil from the adult Harp Seal that contains 20~25% (w/w) n-3 PUFA including Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA, 20:5n3), Docosapentaenoic Acid (DPA, 22:5n3) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA, 22:6n3). This oil is very resistant to oxidation in vitro and has an excellent shelve life without the impact of Harp Seal Oil supplements on the composition of plasma lipoproteins was examined.
