Utterly Unique ... Vitamin D in Salmon Oil
 
We are pleased to introduce a high-quality, higher-potency vitamin D supplement … one with unique attractions!
 
Each tiny, 300 mg softgel capsule of Vital Choice Vitamin D3 in Wild Sockeye Salmon Oil provides a generous 2,000 International Units (IU) of vitamin D3.
 
D3 is the preferred, natural form of this amazing vitamin, and ours is certified pure and potent by NSF .
 
Better yet, our D3 comes in a base of whole, unrefined, certified-pure, sockeye salmon oil, certified sustainable by the MSC .
 
Each Vitamin D3 softgel contains 45mg of omega-3s, but health authorities recommend 500mg of omega-3s per day, so it doesn't replace fish oil.
 
A 3,000mg daily serving of our Sockeye Salmon Oil provides 460mg, so if you also take one Vitamin D3 in Salmon Oil softgel per day, that would bring your supplemental omega-3 intake to a perfect 505mg!

World's Finest Fish Oil



Our "whole food"
Omega-3 Salmon Oil supplements contain only unrefined oil from wild Alaska Sockeye Salmon: a fish whose renowned purity is reflected in the pristine contents of our naturally colorful capsules.

Unlike standard fish oils, our naturally pure Sockeye Salmon Oil does not need to be chemically refined: a process that can damage omega-3s. Instead, our oil's 
purity and potency are certified by NSF.

As a result, our whole, unrefined Sockeye Salmon Oil retains all of the omega-3s (EPA & DHA), vitamin D, phospholipids, and fatty acids natural to whole Sockeye Salmon. 

The rich orange hue of our Salmon Oil comes from its natural complement of astaxanthin: the super-potent antioxidant pigment that gives Sockeye their distinctive color and protects our Salmon Oil's abundant omega-3s from oxidation.

In addition, ours was the first Salmon Oil supplement certified as sustainably sourced by the Marine Stewardship Council
.

We encapsulate our Salmon Oil in pure fish gelatin, and offer special varieties for special needs:

 Smaller Softgels (500 mg)
 
Liquid Salmon Oil for children and folks who may have trouble swallowing our 1,000 mg softgels
 
Lemon-Flavored Salmon Oil for folks who experience bounce-back.

"Food Rules" Makes Eating Well Simple
Bestselling journalism professor Michael Pollan’s concise new guide provides simple, traditional, science-affirmed rules for food shopping and enjoyment
by Craig Weatherby

Although he circled the subject in The Botany of Desire, Michael Pollan became America’s leading voice on food matters with The Omnivore’s Dilemma – the big bestseller in which he roamed the country to explore America’s diverse food subcultures.
 
The nature of his journey was alluded to in the book’s subtitle, “A Natural History of Four Meals”.
 
His exploration of four distinctly different meals led him to strongly favor a shift away from big agribusinesses and their processed foods to smaller, self-sustainable farms and their generally whole, natural, traditional foods.
 
Lately, he’s shifted his focus more to the nutrition/health side of the food beat, starting with In Defense of Food – about the many advantages of whole foods over processed fare – and now with Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual, which features common sense and evidence-based tips for healthy eating.
 
And his message is making it to the mainstream. Last week, Oprah Winfrey featured Pollan, who was on her TV show to talk about Food Rules and the compelling documentary Food, Inc., in which he appears. (See “Oprah Boosts Factory Farm Foes”.)
 
In Food Rules, Pollan distills years of research into an easy-to-digest guide to shopping and eating in ways that promote optimal health.
 
The book won’t be welcomed by big agribusinesses, many of whose products he rightly describes as promoters of obesity, diabetes, dementia, and a host of degenerative health problems.
 
Rather than provide our own review, we refer you to one by Jane Brody, the doyen of American nutrition/health writers.
 
Brody covered Food Rules on Monday, February 1, in her New York Times column titled “Rules Worth Following, for Everyone’s Sake.
 
She offers this high praise, and some of Pollan’s key tips (Brody J 2010):
  • “In the more than four decades that I have been reading and writing about the findings of nutritional science, I have come across nothing more intelligent, sensible and simple to follow …”
  • “… you can do yourself and your family no better service than to invest $11 and one hour to whip through the 139 pages of “Food Rules” and adapt its guidance to your shopping and eating habits.”
For our reports on some of the effective eating habits Michael Pollan explores in Food Rules, see “Slow Eating May Prevent Weight Gain”, “Portion Control for Weight Control: Size Perceptions Called Key”, and “French and American Eating Habits Affect Weight Gain”.
