I'm Eric Bakker, the naturopath. You may know me from the Candida Crusher Channel. Thanks for
tuning in. My new formulations are coming out. I've been talking about new formulations for some
time. I've been trying for a long time to make an additional CanXida product called CanXida Boost,
which I really wanted to launch, but COVID basically kiboshed the whole thing. So,
we really couldn't get the raw materials that we wanted to.
I tried for nearly two years to get raws, raw materials for CanXida Boost.
I tried and tried and tried. I don't give up, but I've literally given up
just recently realizing I'm getting older, I'm waiting, I'm making calls, I'm emailing,
I just can't get this show off the road. So, I've ditched CanXida Boost. Okay.
But what I have done, I've been working also for a long, long time on other formulations.
If you've seen my recent video that was published on the C-3k Plus, the new vitamin
C product I've launched, that was launched by a company called NZ, or New Zealand formulations.
The second New Zealand Formulations product, which we're launching
now ... Not a good finger, is it? Yeah. Well, I like roses, and the secateurs caught my finger.
Anyway, let me hold it to the light for you. Yeah, Omega 3 Plus.
So, let me tell you about fish oil. I've been studying and working with fish oil now for over
20 years. I looked at New Zealand fish oils, I've looked at Canadian fish oils, I've looked at many
fish oils. I've had many discussions with fish oil experts, both in the US and on my trips to Europe,
to various supplement conferences and fairs. I know quite a few expert people in this department.
There's one lady in particular I spent a lot of time with, a Scottish PhD
researcher who did a dissertation in fish oils, and particularly in the EPA/DHA breakdown.
This lady was one of the scientists who wrote papers that was responsible partly for
fish oil becoming quite well known. So, everybody's heard about Omega 3 fish oil,
but guess what? About 30 years ago, no one talked about it. People have only recently
been starting to take fish oil again. When I was a kid, cod liver oil was the norm. You
would get a teaspoon of this horrible-smelling stuff in winter time. And then it all died.
People didn't really take fish oils for years until studies were conducted and published.
I think they were the Cambridge Studies, showing how the intelligence quotient, or IQ, (how smart
people were), was directly linked to how much fish oil they had in their diet up to a certain age.
So they did these big studies, and they literally found that when children had
Omega 3 in their diet, and children didn't have Omega 3 in their diet, the differences were quite
astounding in terms of how smart that child ended up becoming in their cognitive functioning. So,
there's certainly something there, and then the world sat back and took notice.
But here's the problem with Omega 3: There's a lot of crap out there, a lot of crap. Right?
If you've got a fish oil container at home now, I want you to go and grab it, go to your pantry
or kitchen and grab it, and hold it up and look at the label. All right? If it's got "anchovy" on it,
it's a problem. If you don't believe me, go to the internet and do your own searches.
80%-plus of fish oil supplements today contain Peruvian anchovy, and according
to the United Nations Food Administration, it's the most exploited fishery in the world.
So, if you're eating fish oil or taking it with anchovy in it, you're actually
getting it from fisheries that are being, well, basically munted. It's a free-for-all. It's not
really good. The Marine Stewardship Council in charge of a lot of the sustainable fisheries
really, really don't like the anchovy fisheries at all in terms of the exploitation. So, buying a
fish oil product, like from Amazon, you'll find them at Costco's, you'll find them on iHerb,
all of these companies will sell cheap fish oils, (or expensive ones), and they'll contain anchovy.
If it's just got "fish" on it, or "fish oil", or "mixed species", be very weary. Single origin
is clever. Now, why did I make another fish oil product when there's 5 million already out there,
when every man and every woman and every kangaroo is designing a fish oil product? Well,
this isn't just a fish oil product. Let me explain to you what this Omega 3 Plus is, okay?
So, it's very, very important to get the right type of fish species from a sustainable fishery.
This has got a fish in it called Wild Alaskan Pollock. It's like a type of cod. There are
three main fisheries where it's harvested from, particularly around the Bering Sea,
really high up where it's freezing cold and deep water. The best fish oils,
which I learned from this Scottish lady, come from the deepest oceans. The deeper and colder,
the more health benefits are conferred to the person taking that oil.
The higher the pressure the fish lives under, the colder the water, the more
powerful the fish's immune responses become and producing an oil of a very high-grade quality.
Now, anchovies live, what? 60, 70 meters deep? They're a tropical species.
It's not a great fish oil. It's not. Because remember, Omega 3 isn't just EPA and DHA.
Okay? There are hundreds of types of lipids and compounds that make up a fish oil,
hundreds of compounds. It's very complex. I've got an Excel spreadsheet that's as
long as your left and right arm and little finger put together,
which just shows you all of the different types of breakdowns of oils that are actually in a
fish oil. And from my research, the best fish oils come from the coldest oceans, the cleanest oceans.
But this product is unique in that it's sustainable. Okay?
So, the pollock fisheries in the US has been rated as the world's most sustainable fishery,
according to the Marine Stewardship Council. That means a lot to me, to be able to supply a
product that's sustainable. The entire fish is used. Every part of the fish is used.
This is a very powerful fish oil. Many fish oils you buy are basically 181/120,
so they're blends. 180 milligrams of DHA, 120 of EPA. Okay? Well, sometimes they'll
swap them around, but you'll usually see these 18/12. You see 18/12, it's a standard blend.
Now, the problem with the blends is many companies buy a few 44-gallon drums of fish oil from some
mum and dad outfit in XYZ country. Then they'll get, say, a large amount from this company.
Everything gets blended and blended. It's not a great idea. You don't know what you're buying.
You're in deep water if you buy something like that, so be careful. All right?
Now, let me tell you about Omega 3 Plus. We've got the pollock oil in here, sustainable,
right? But we've also added lots of stuff in here. So, 50 micrograms, (or 2000 international units),
of vitamin D-3, (cholecalciferol), per serve. Go to the internet and have a
look at what vitamin D-3 does for the immune system. This has got a nice dose in there.
Now, if we look at the EPA/DHA ratio ... Sorry, I forgot to tell you that before. Each dose of this,
which is two capsules, you've got 670 milligrams of EPA, and you've got 340 of DHA. And you've also
got something called ... I keep mispronouncing it. Astaxanthin. Astaxanthin ... Let me just pronounce
it again. Astaxanthin, okay. What I do know about astaxanthin is it's red. It's a carotenoid. Now,
carotenoids are naturally-occurring compounds. In fact, beta-Carotene is a carotenoid,
and it makes the carrot the orange color. Carotenoids are very potent.
So, the astaxanthin is actually the red coloring of the salmon, because the salmon eats algae
and the algae contain this stuff called Haematococcus pluvialis. That's the name of this
algae, this freshwater algae. Salmon are amazing creatures. Their bodies are full of astaxanthin.
So, salmon actually come from the ocean, swim all the way upstream all the way to the gravel beds,
sometimes going up waterfalls. Scientists believe the power of the salmon comes from the
astaxanthin carotenoid from the algae that they consume.
The Haematococcus algae get highly stressed in these small pools all around the place in summer,
and they get redder and redder and redder to stop their DNA getting damaged by the
ultraviolet exposure. So, when they did research on this particular carotenoid, they found it to
be incredibly powerful. In fact, probably one of the most powerful carotenoids ever discovered. Go
and look at the research. Hundreds of times more powerful than vitamin E in its effect.
Now this is a carotenoid and an anti-oxidant. Guess what? It actually loves fat, and it loves
water. Okay? Hydrophilic and lipophilic, which means it acts both in water and
fat compounds in the cell. It protects the cell against a lot of damage.
So, when you take a fish oil, it's nice to have that additional astaxanthin in there
because it's going to help muscle endurance, it's going to help a whole bunch of things,
but particularly protecting your cells from damage. That's what a fish oil can do, too.
But please, go and have a look at the technical page on CanXida.com and have a look at the
Omega 3 Plus. Click on the link up above on the products and read all about it. All right? This
is a one-of-a-kind fish oil, and it's powerful, it's sustainable, it's unique. And it's a perfect
partner ... I've only got this at the moment because it's so hot and new, this product. It's a
perfect partner with C-3k Plus. This is a super powerful vitamin C. So now, when you take a C
compound and an Omega 3 together, it's incredible the benefits you're going to get from that.
So please check out the page. There's a lot of things I could tell you about DHA and EPA on their
effects on interleukins, and tumor necrosis factor, and they're anti-inflammatory and
all these things. But I think it'll just go all around you and you won't really get a grasp of it.
But check out the product on the page and have a good look. They making good pigeon
pair, and they're fantastic for winter time for support. The additional vitamin
D strong and a strong dose of fish oil, you can't go wrong. Thanks for tuning in.
