Can one actually take too much omega-3? Isn’t more better?
Some patients with certain medical conditions may require larger doses of omega-3, which makes it impractical or difficult to obtain from diet alone. Some doctors may recommend these patients to take fish oil supplements. However, you should consult your doctor if you are taking more than 3 grams of omega-3 per day from capsules. Consult your pharmacist if you are taking any other medications.
Is quality an issue for fish oil supplements?
Yes, indeed. There are 3 major areas of concern with regards to the quality of a fish oil supplement. They are, omega-3 content, contaminants (which are mercury, PCBs, dioxins) and stability.
Chemical analysis by many organizations have revealed products do not always contain the quantity of active ingredient(s) as stated on the label. A result showed an average variance of 27.6% of actual versus stated label claims of the products available in the market.
WHC UnoCardio records a mere 0.3% variance. It is ranked #1 for label accuracy.
Is your fish oil absorbed optimally after you consume it?
The omega-3 in fish oil occurs in its natural state as the Triglyceride form. During the manufacturing process, the oil gets converted to another form, Ethyl Ester, which is not readily absorbed and utilized by the body.
An additional process called re-esterification is required to convert it back to the triglyceride form. Overall evidence suggest that the natural triglyceride form of fish oil results in 50% more EPA and DHA in the blood after absorption as compared to the ethyl esters form.
Fish oil in ethyl esters form are also much less stable than those in triglyceride form. This means the ethyl ester form oxidize or decay more rapidly.
WHC‘s omega-3 are in the re-esterified triglyceride form. This is the optimally absorbable form of omega-3 as compared to ethyl esters, and possibly also compared to regular triglycerides and free fatty acids.
Is there a difference between the different formulations of fish oils?
The composition and EPA/DHA content varies among different formulations. Gummies and chewable fish oil supplements are mainly made up of sugar, omega-3 takes up less than half of the total content. Liquid-formulated fish oil also contain a much lower EPA and DHA content than soft-gels. That means you have to take more to get the same amount.
What is LOCTEC™ Packaging?
Oxygen is the main culprit in the damage of the valuable nutrients, such as antioxidants, vitamins and food enzymes found in superfoods. Plastic packaging does not protect food from oxygen. The most common form of plastic packaging is HDPE (high density polyethylene). The oxygen molecule easily penetrates HDPE plastic packaging and oxidises many valuable nutrients in the foods they contain.
LOCTEC™ removes oxygen from the bottle at the time of packaging and creates an oxygen-barrier seal to keep it out of the bottle while on the shelf. This protects the potency of the important nutrients you pay for. With LOCTEC™ Nutrient protection Technology, your products get a head-start to freshness. Other standard forms of packaging cannot guarantee the level of oxygen-barrier control.
Unlike plastic bottles, composite cans (recycled cardboard with plastic and glue added) and plastic pouches,
LOCTEC™ packaging is made from glass with metal caps that are 100% oxygen-proof and 100% recyclable.
With LOCTEC™, no moisture gets into glass bottles after they are sealed, therefore no deterioration occurs during the products’ shelf-life.This ensures the products’ nutritional value is at their original integrity upon purchase.

What does it mean to be Reef-Friendly in skincare products?
Alarmingly, between 6,000 and 14,000 tons of sunscreen washes off into our coral reefs every year.
In fact, common ingredients found in our daily commodities such as sunscreens, shampoos, leave-in conditioner, shower gels, facial wash and cosmetics do eventually end up in our oceans, affecting the marine environment. These ingredients are highly toxic to corals and marine life, causing stress to corals making them expel their precious life-giving algae. Without these algae, get sick and bleach (turn white). Bleaching of corals and in turn affects thousands of species of fish, including the ones we consume.
Our choices for skin care deeply affect marine environments. Let’s start making reef-friendly choices because whatever we use ultimately may end up on our plates. Let’s check our sunscreen bottles and avoid these ingredients that are toxic to coral reefs:
Oxybenzone
Octinoxate
Octocrylene
PABA (Aminobenzoic Acid)
Enzacamene
Octisalate
Homosalate
Avobenzone
What is Non-Nano Zinc?
Nanoparticles are particles ranging in size from about 100 nm down to about 1 nm. They are typically the size of very small molecules, far too small to see with a microscope. When nano sunscreens wash off people’s bodies, nano-sized particles of zinc or titanium dioxide can be consumed or absorbed by marine life and disruptive to reef growth processes. According to a study in 2015 quoted by National Geographic, these tiny particles used in sunscreens and other consumer products may harm marine creatures by disabling the defense mechanisms that protect their embryos. Nanoparticles can react in the body and environment differently from the same material that is non-nano. If you are using a mineral sunscreen, zinc or titanium, make sure it is non-nano grade.
Which layer should my sunscreen be if I have more than two products for application?
If you are using a moisturizer and a separate sunscreen, the moisturizer should go on first, then sunscreen, then makeup. If you are also using a topical medication, that should be applied before everything else, then the rest of the layering process is repeated.
Can I recycle my All Good Packaging?
Yes please! All of All Good packaging contains a large percentage of recycled material and is 100% recyclable.
