Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10 - The Ultimate Fish Oil Supplement

Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10 is the ultimate in fish oil supplements for cardiovascular health. It contains the same superior quality fish oil blend as our other fish oil products but has added genuine Kaneka ubiquinol (the active form of CoQ10). We have also included the lycopene and astaxanthin in our Omega 3 / DHA Plus. The best of all worlds!

Cardiovascular health with CoQ10

Omega 3s have been shown to support heart health. Our premium formula also contains ubiquinol (CoQ10), providing additional cardiovascular benefits, especially for those on statin medication.

Brain health and mental clarity

DHA is essential for brain function. Your brain uses omega 3s to build brain and nerve cells for learning and memory, so having plenty of DHA in your diet helps keep memory and cognition in good shape as you age.

Joint health and inflammation

Omega 3s have been shown to fight the inflammation associated with joint pain and arthritis. They can benefit those suffering from morning stiffness, tenderness, swelling, and joint discomfort.

Skin and eye health

On their own, omega 3s support skin and eye health, but for an extra boost, we’ve added astaxanthin, which can reduce eye fatigue and irritation and revitalize skin, and lycopene, for smoother, more resilient skin.

Ingredients

In addition to the most effective omega 3s, Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10 contains ubiquinol (CoQ10), lycopene and astaxanthin - a unique blend of ingredients to support cardiovascular, skin and eye health.

Quality omega 3
fish oil

Xtend-Life's fish oils are the most effective fish oils available and are packed with omega 3s in their natural triglyceride form, ensuring optimal absorption.

Astaxanthin for
eye health

Clinical studies show astaxanthin can reduce eye fatigue and irritation while also revitalizing the skin to significantly reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

Lycopene for
skin support

Lycopene has been shown to increase the smoothness, density and thickness of skin, maintaining skin resilience and offering protection from the environment and UV damage.

CoQ10 for
heart health

CoQ10 in its active form, ubiquinol provides cardiovascular benefits, especially for those on statin medication.

Quality Omega 3 Fish Oil

Health authorities and expert scientific panels around the world have set recommendations about how much DHA and EPA are needed for optimal health. The amount required depends on a person’s age, gender and whether they have any specific health risks.

No matter which health authority you look at, they all agree that to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, adults should aim for 250 - 500mg DHA and EPA daily. For those at elevated risk of cardiovascular events, authorities recommend at least 1,000mg daily.

Fresh, Natural, Effective

Xtend-Life’s fish oils are one of the most effective and freshest fish oils in the world today. The blend of concentrated oil and natural non-concentrated oil is unique to Xtend-Life and is not available from any other manufacturer.

When we consume seafood the omega 3s are all in their natural oil form which is called triglycerides. Most concentrated fish oils have been converted to ethyl esters for processing and then reconstituted back to triglycerides with a loss of efficacy. Xtend-Life’s process for the concentrated component of the fish oil uses a special enzymatic process and keeps the oil in its natural form.

CoQ10

CoQ10 is a key component in the biological pathway to produce ATP, the currency that cells use for energy. As well as making energy for cells, CoQ10 also provides cardiovascular benefits, especially for those on statin medication.

Xtend-Life uses the world’s most premium form of CoQ10 called Kaneka QH®. What makes Kaneka QH® so special? Firstly, it is the most trusted brand in CoQ10. It was developed over 30 years ago and was the first supplemental form of bio-identical CoQ10 ever to be developed.

Secondly, it uses the form of CoQ10 called ubiquinol which is the form your body needs. Many supplements contain the oxidised form of CoQ10, which is called ubiquinone.

The CoQ10 molecules in the body are predominantly in the ubiquinol form. The antioxidant function of CoQ10 is also attributed to its ubiquinol form – identical to Kaneka QH® in Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10!

CoQ10 helps generate energy for cells and is particularly important for heart health. The highest levels of CoQ10 are found in the heart muscle. Many highly respected researchers have shown that supplementation with CoQ10 reduces serious cardiac events by providing the energy needed by the heart muscle to keep pumping.

CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant. Another way it protects the cardiovascular system is by stopping the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, and in doing so, it protects against atherosclerosis.

It is widely recognised that taking statins reduces CoQ10 production in the body. That's why it is very important for statin users to take a high-quality CoQ10 supplement. We also recommend our GG PURE, a natural supplement specifically of interest to those who are on statin drugs.

Even if you’re not taking a statin, it’s important to ‘top up’ your body’s CoQ10 levels with supplementation. This is particularly important in your later years, as CoQ10 levels decline with age.

CoQ10 Decline in the Body

The concentration of Coenzyme Q10 in the body decreases year by year, indicating a close relationship with aging.

Given the importance of CoQ10 for cellular energy and particularly for cardiovascular health, we recommend a high-quality CoQ10 supplement such as Xtend-Life's Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10, with bio-identical ubiquinone to immediately create the energy your cells need.

Astaxanthin

When it comes to beauty from within, astaxanthin (pronounced ASTA-ZAN-THIN) is the superstar, and for a good reason.

Astaxanthin comes from a specific type of algae. It is truly one of nature’s wonders and is one of the most potent antioxidants. Astaxanthin is a dark red carotenoid that gives shrimp, krill and salmon their distinctive colours. Astaxanthin helps salmon with the endurance they need to swim upstream for 2,000 miles!

We're less interested in swimming 2,000 miles, and more interested in having glowing, gorgeous skin. That's where astaxanthin really comes into its own and the main reason we included it in Omega 3 / QH Premium and Omega 3 / DHA Plus.

Dozens of clinical studies have demonstrated that astaxanthin revitalizes the skin, both in supplement form, and when applied topically in skincare products.

Research shows that taking astaxanthin results in a significant reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, in just 8 weeks. Astaxanthin's skin-loving effects are due to its inhibition of collagenases (the enzymes that break down collagen) and reducing both inflammation and oxidation.

Eye Health & Astaxanthin

By the time we reach middle age, our eyes have spent more than one billion seconds bombarded by sunlight, artificial lights, pollution, computer/phone screens and allergens. The eyes are also challenged by strain, fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, and diseases.

The good news is astaxanthin crosses the retinal blood barrier and is a first line of defence for protecting the eyes.

Various clinical studies have shown that astaxanthin supplementation improves symptoms linked to Computer Vision Syndrome such as eye fatigue, blurred vision, and eye irritation. It works by lowering cellular inflammation that comes from persistent visual stress and tension of the ciliary muscle. Although its early days in terms of the research, astaxanthin has shown great promise in protecting against the risk of age-related eye conditions too.

Lycopene

Lycopene is a natural carotenoid that is extracted from tomatoes. Xtend-Life blends Lyc-O-Mato® lycopene into its Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10 and Omega 3 / DHA Plus products to deliver exceptional benefits.

Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant, and it provides an array of health benefits including skin health, prostate health and heart health. It’s not surprising that tomatoes are a staple in the Mediterranean diet – the health benefits of this style of eating are partly due to high consumption of lycopene!

Lyc-O-Mato® is a standardised tomato extract that has been extensively studied for its skin benefits.

Lyc-O-Mato® found exclusively in Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10 and Omega 3 / DHA Plus is shown to aid skin’s natural resilience to external stressors such as sun exposure and air pollution. Lyc-O-Mato® increases overall smoothness, density and thickness of skin. The results speak for themselves!

Our unique formulations Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10 and Omega 3 / DHA Plus deliver all the proven benefits of a superior quality fish oil. The addition of astaxanthin and Lyc-O-Mato® means our supplements will leave your skin looking and feeling great too.

Why has the name changed?

For our premium products such as our Total Balance range, we differentiate the most advanced versions with the use of the word ‘premium’, highlighted in a gold bar on our labels.

For our Omega 3 products, we were using the word ‘Premium’ within the gold bar, of our Omega 3 / DHA Premium product. This is not the most advanced version of our Omega 3 range, so we have renamed this to Omega 3 / DHA Plus. Our most advanced Omega 3 product is our Omega 3 / QH Ultra, which will now be renamed Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10. These name changes bring consistency across our product range and will hopefully be easier to understand.

Rest assured the formulations in both products have not changed and it is still the same great product that you have been taking.

Who should use Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10?

If you are over the age of 40 years your levels of CoQ10 start rapidly declining. CoQ10 is critical for heart health and needs to be replenished as we age. Also, if you are on a cholesterol-lowering medication such as a statin, it is crucial that you supplement with CoQ10. This is because the metabolic pathway that enables your liver to manufacture cholesterol is blocked by statin drugs. That same pathway is also used to enable the liver to manufacture CoQ10. So the production of CoQ10 has also affected with the result that your body uses up its reserves of CoQ10 and serious health issues can then evolve from that.

Is Omega 3 / QH Premium CoQ10 similar to the Omega 3 / DHA Plus?

Yes, it contains everything that is in Omega 3 / DHA Plus, PLUS the CoQ10 in the form of the genuine Japanese Kaneka Ubiquinol. That is the key point of difference for this product which makes it the flagship version of our Omega 3 family of products.

What is so special about the Ubiquinol form of CoQ10?

The ‘normal’ CoQ10 is called Ubiquinone which is oxidized. The body has to convert it to the non-oxidized form called Ubiquinol in order to use it.

The advantage of using the non-oxidized Ubiquinol form is that it is 5 – 8 times more potent than the other form. However, it has two drawbacks. One is that it is a lot more expensive than the standard Ubiquinone and secondly that it is very unstable and requires specialized handling during the manufacture of the soft-gels. Xtend-Life pioneered the technique of blending the Ubiquinol into the oil under a nitrogen blanket which avoids any oxidation and thus degradation.

NOTE: The balance of the FAQs are as for our Standard Omega 3 DHA/Fish Oil without the additives.

I can buy Fish Oil from our local Supermarket for a lot less cost. Why should I use Xtend-Life’s fish oil?

Perhaps the easiest way to explain it is to think of a cheap car and compare it with a Ferrari. That is the difference between the mass-produced supermarket oils and Xtend-Life’s fish oils. The supermarket type fish oils are generally just what is called an 18/12 fish oil which means that it contains 180mgs of EPA and 120mgs of DHA per soft-gel. This is significantly lower than the Xtend-Life product which has more DHA than EPA. DHA is very important as it can easily convert to EPA in the body if it is needed whereas it is difficult for EPA to convert to DHA because DHA has more carbon bonds (DHA just has to drop off a couple to convert to EPA).

The other consideration with a mass-produced fish oil is that the oils can come from multiple sources and the levels of oxidation are generally significantly higher than the standard we set for our fish oil. This is really important for your health.

The big difference and where you will really reap the benefits are in the blend of concentrated and non-concentrated oils that is unique to Xtend-Life. Not only that, we are the first company to switch to the fully NATURAL form of concentrated triglyceride fish oil which is more bio-available.

What are the real benefits of using a quality Omega 3 Fish Oil?

It is important that you carefully read the Omega 3 overview to get a better understanding of this. There is a section within that page which outlines the main benefits.

Some media say that Omega 3 fish oil does not give any benefits. Why is that?

Yes, for the 18 years that we have been in this business we see comments like this coming up from time to time. But, the evidence of the benefits is overwhelming. Some fish oil supplements such as the concentrated portion of our blend are similar to that of some pharmaceutical companies. In fact, one well-known brand is produced at the same facility that we use for our concentrate, except we use the new natural triglyceride form which will take time for the pharmaceutical companies to transition to.

The efficacy of fish oils has been well proven in clinical trials.

Would vegetable based oils give the same benefits?

Sadly no. Oils such as flax oil etc whilst very good do not contain either DHA or EPA. The Omega 3 in these oils is ALA which is a simpler oil with only 18 carbon bonds verse 22 for DHA and 20 for EPA. The body cannot manufacture DHA or EPA and must get it from external sources. A main component of the brain is DHA.

ALA from vegetable oils is very difficult for the body to change to DHA. Experts believe less than 5% can be converted, and in the elderly group, there is generally none at all. This is why you cannot rely on vegetable oils to provide DHA or EPA.

Are fish oil soft gels easy to swallow?

Our soft-gels are an industry standard 1000mg soft gel, which is quite easy to swallow. However, if you have any difficulty swallowing soft gels of this size, we also produce a mini version of 500mgs. If you still have some difficulty, you can always puncture the soft gels and squeeze the fish oil onto cold food. This method will not compromise the product's efficacy, provided the food is consumed right away to avoid oxidization of the oil

Where does the Hoki and Tuna Fish come from?

NZ Hoki is sourced from the pristine waters of the Southern Ocean off the coast of New Zealand. The Tuna is also sourced in the oceans of the Southern Hemisphere.

What is the soft gel made of?

The soft gels we use in our Omega 3 fish oils are made of highly purified bovine non-hydrolysed gelatine (Halal certified).

Why do you focus on DHA rather than EPA levels in your fish oil?

We focus on the DHA levels in our Omega 3 fish oils as this is in the best interest of our customers. Research confirms that it is the most valuable component of Omega 3, especially for the brain and nervous system. In addition, it is difficult for the body to convert EPA to DHA because two carbon bonds must be added. On the other hand, the body only has to 'drop off' two carbon bonds from DHA to create EPA. Most manufacturers focus on EPA as it is easier to concentrate, but it is not as 'usable' by the body.

How do you concentrate the tuna oil?

This is one of the exciting parts of Xtend-Life’s Omega 3 fish oil blends. The concentrated component of the blend is able to be produced without the intense heat needed by 99% of all the other concentrated fish oils on the market today. Even better it does not have to be converted to an ethyl ester and then processed to reconstitute it back to the triglyceride form. (which can be considered synthetic)

It is concentrated using a combination of molecular distillation and enzymatic action. This avoids the extreme heat which is used in other concentration methods. But, it is a lot more expensive but the benefits warrant the additional cost.

Why use tuna oil rather than smaller fish like sardines or anchovies, which have less bioaccumulation of heavy metals?

The benefit of tuna oil is that it is naturally rich in DHA. Smaller fish may tend to have less accumulation of heavy metals, but this is not an issue with Xtend-Life fish oil because of the careful way the Tuna is used. The Tuna oil is produced using molecular distillation and enzymatic hydrolysis. Our standard for heavy metals is one of the most stringent in the industry, More than government requirements. There is no purer oil.

Also, the parts of the Tuna we use are by-products of tuna harvested for food and are from a controlled and sustainable fishery.
