How to Check the Quality of Your Omega Oils

So I felt like doing something a little different today. As a science teacher I love experiments and this one is right up my alley. Recently I was helping another associate out with a question about the quality of a generic fish oil. There is a simple way to test the quality of the oils in your own home. This is your step by step guide. You'll need approximately 6 oz of water PER oil you want to test and as many styrofoam cups/bowls and glass bowls (Example: 2 oil capsules means 2 cups and 2 glass bowls).

I used Styrofoam bowls simply because that is what was in my kitchen. The oils used were the IsaOmega Supreme (an Omega 3-6-9 blend) on the left and a liquid Omega 3-6-9 that was in my refrigerator.


Instructions:

1. Heat water to boiling.

2. Place each cup/bowl in it's own glass bowl. Pour approximately 6oz of boiling water in each cup/bowl.

3. With scissors, snip the end of each capsule and squeeze the oil into the cups. Don't mix the oils (I used 1/2 tsp of the liquid oil in the 2nd bowl, approximately the same dose as one capsule).

4. Now watch and wait.

While waiting, ponder this...

Fish oil is great for reducing bad cholesterol in the arteries. Styrofoam is an oil byproduct and this test represents the effect of fish oil on cholesterol. Here is a great summary from LIVESTRONG.com on why fish oils are recommended for a healthy body.

Back to the experiment -

Within only seconds, you should see something happening to the cup/bowl with a good, high quality oil. The oil should eat through the cup just as it would eat away at cholesterol buildup in your body. If it doesn't then you may need to look for a new Omega supplement.

After I added the IsaOmega Supreme to the water I could instantly hear it working on the Styrofoam and had to rush to take this picture. Within only seconds it ate a complete ring around the bowl. Now THAT is an effective fish oil! Absolutely nothing happened to the bowl with the liquid oil supplement.

IsaOmega Supreme is available for individual use and is also included in the Isagenix Daily Essentials for men and women. I am currently supplementing with just the oil and an organic prenatal vitamin until our little baby boy is born. My husband takes the Daily Essentials AM and PM packs.

The Link Between Toxicity and Health/Weight-loss

Most people don't think about how unseen factors in their environment can effect their health and their weight-loss efforts. In 2010 I was told I had a condition that doctors couldn't find a cause for and therefore, could not find a cure. My own research led to the conclusion that this was an effect of toxicity in my body. One source even stated that people with my condition were "the epitome of toxic." This video spoke volumes to me and led me to a program that has changed my life. 


Prior to starting the 30 Day Cleansing and Fat-Burning program, I had been using one of my favorite workout programs, P90X, to try to lose weight. In 6 weeks I had lost 4 pounds and 9 inches. After just 3 weeks on Isagenix, I lost the same amount in only 3 weeks. My results doubled! In addition, I no longer have the daily discomfort associated with my condition. I can function just like a normal person but with a lot more energy. 


How does toxicity affect your life? Are you toxic?

How has this helped others? Here are some testimonials. Will you be next?

With three herniated discs in my lower back and not being able to exercise, the IsaLean® Shakes and 30-Day System in general have helped me to lose over 50 pounds* in just a matter of months and therefore decrease the pain in my back and allowed me to achieve a weight that I haven’t been at in about 10 years." 
- Eric S., California


"The 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System was perfect to help me change the bad eating habits that I previously had, especially addiction for candy bars, sweets and pop...leaving these poor choices behind and substituting for Isagenix products has given me a much better complexion, increase in energy, and just a much better feeling "Me"." 
- Kathleen P. British Columbia


"After 3 days of being on my first 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System , I noticed an increase of energy that I hadn't felt since I was in my twenties. I wanted to exercise, which I have never done in my life, so I joined the gym and started walking in the morning. I stopped wanting to eat everything in sight and I ate healthy food and was satisfied. It made me aware of my food intake and I was able to wean myself off of fast-food easily and completely! I have dropped the weight and I eat very healthy now and I consider Isagenix a lifestyle change, not a diet!" 
- Mary G., Washington


"The 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System is the basic miracle dissolving the cocoon of obesity which has camouflaged me most of my adult life. As it teaches me to build a healthier lifestyle, cleanses me of debilitating toxins and floods my body with essential nutrients, I am emerging as a more positive and energetic woman who believes in her ability to achieve her most creative goals." 
- Sue R., Ontario

An unpublished 2008 university study showed a statistically significant weight loss of seven pounds during the first nine days of the Cleansing and Fat Burning System.
