PURE ONE Gives DHA, EPA, Vitamin D and Vitamin K Naturally October 23, 2008

Question: "Could you please clarify the following for me. The phytosterols, Vitamin K and Vitamin D present in Pure One - are they of natural origin and if so in what form are they present? What is the significance of these ingredients in brain, eye and heart health?"

Vitamins

Our Answer:

Thank you for the question about vitamin D & K and phytosterols.  I understand there are a lot of details.  In fact, this content is on our home page with references included; the vitamins and phytosterols are not associated with the brain eye heart benefits per se.  DHA is for a healthy brain eye heart.

Omega-3

All these components are naturally made by the microaglae.  In compariton, cod liver oil has vitamins A and D.  PURE ONE has Vitamins K and D.  Vitamins K and D work together.

omega-6

Note: Just like with true Vitamin A, also with Vitamin K, people need to note the levels taken.  Our highest recommended dose of PURE ONE – 8 Capsules Daily – gives just over 200% minimum daily value of vitamin K.  This is not too much at all, but we caution people to not duplicate vitamin K intake in their supplement program when taking PURE ONE and to first talk to their doctors if they are on prescription blood thinners.

omega-3

Vitamin K works with vitamin D to help calcium regulation and bone health.  Our oil is ideal for health and wellness at all ages and stages.

Omega-3 DHA

Phytosterols are a minor component, but these are discussed for two reasons A) they are heart healthy, B) these can apparently form solids inside the capsules over time and at cool temperatures.  This is a natural property some have noted.
