Getting Maximum Omega-3 in Pork Meat

Primary reasons why Omega Gold™ is the Most effective Omega-3 swine supplement for getting maximum Omega-3 into pork meat:

• Omega Gold™ is formulated using the latest antioxidant technology to naturally maintain the integrity and stability of the high Omega fatty acid content in Omega Gold™; therefore inhibiting the possibility of "flavor-intense" pork. Omega Gold™ is formulated specifically to appeal to the pig's taste and flavor preference; therefore, the pig will consume the supplement. (Note: many pigs do not find straight feed-grade flax palatable.)
• Omega Gold™ is formulated using our special, palatable ENRECO™ Stabilized Flax Seeds, which contain a higher percentage of Omega-3 fatty acids than other flax seeds.
• Omega Gold™ contains 80% of Omega-3 (of the total Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids which are 23% of the total fat of 40%)

The following four studies done on flax* and swine at the South Dakota State University, Brookings, South Dakota show that when pigs are fed a diet containing flax, there is a significant increase in the amount of Omega-3 fatty acid found in the pork.

*(Note: These South Dakota studies did not use our ENRECO™ premium flax for their studies, but regular off-the-market feed flax. Omega Gold™ has been rigorously tested and shown to be best for palatability, stability and highest Omega-3 content. Please see primary reasons listed above.)
