Heart disease: you have a choice.

Presently, there is no “cure” for heart disease. Biological science, in the area of stem-cell research, has begun to tap into the possibilities of actually redefining our DNA in order to eradicate things like heart disease and high blood pressure. Unfortunately, that possibility is not yet available to us.

Prevention and maintenance are currently our best defense against heart-related diseases that may cause heart attacks and strokes. What does that mean? Simply, that lifestyle changes are essential to better health—that eating right, exercising and incorporating a daily regimen of the highest quality heart-healthy supplements into your diet is the best “choice” you can make towards better health.

Why supplement? A brief history of our company.

As Tim Shields, founder of N3 Oceanic, used to say, there are always two sides to the story: theirs and ours. He was referring to the all-natural supplement industry as opposed to the pharmaceutical industry.

Based on years of research devoted to nutrition and heart health in particular, he realized that all-natural ingredients like omega-3s and psyllium as well as antioxidants like lycopene and CoQ 10 (all of which are included in various Res-Q® products) were far more beneficial to the body than the introduction of unnatural, possibly dangerous drugs. Using supplements made with naturally occurring organic compounds, was to him, a no-brainer. But in order to gain more clarity and viable information, he researched studies on natural ingredients in only the most prominent journals and magazines in the country—The New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of American Medical Associates (JAMA) and the American Heart Association, to name a few.

He discovered what he had set out to discover—support for his “side” of the story.

Here are a few examples:

1. “Omega-3 fatty acids benefit the heart of healthy people, and those at high risk of — or who have — cardiovascular disease.”
   –American Heart Association
   
2. “The [New England Journal of Medicine] found that among men without cardiovascular disease, those with more omega-3 fatty acids in their blood were less likely to die of sudden cardiac death.”
   –New England Journal of Medicine
   
3. “Stanford researchers, on the basis of a National study, estimate that Americans made 425 million visits to alternative health care providers in 1990, a figure that exceeded the number of visits to allopathic primary care physicians during the same period by almost 100 million visits! (Forty seven (47) percent of these physicians also reported using alternative therapies themselves, while 23% incorporated them into their practices.)
   
   What is surprising is the reasons people gave for using Alternative medicine. According to the JAMA article, the two most frequently endorsed benefits (of alternative care) were, "I get relief for my symptoms, the pain or discomfort is less or goes away, I feel better," and "The treatment works better for my particular health problem than standard medicine's." According to the study author, these responses suggest that the most influential or salient factor in people's decision to use alternative health care may be its perceived efficacy.”
   – The Vitamin C Foundation

With the advancing use of statins (prescription drugs designed to lower cholesterol) and their undeniably devastating side effects—liver damage, myopathy (muscle tissue damage), peripheral neuropathy (tingling and numbness), memory loss and death to name a few, Dr Shields began a 20-year campaign to educate consumers on the all-natural approach to preventing and maintaining heart disease and other health-related issues by creating his own brand of exclusive supplements.

But promotion of general supplementing was tricky. With literally thousands of dietary supplements being sold on an unregulated market, there was oftentimes little certainty when it came to trusting a manufacturer. In order to avoid unreliable manufacturing processes, Dr. Shields traveled the world in search of top manufacturers that ONLY developed products based on the Federal Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and ONLY used the purest, most potent ingredients. The end result was unprecedented. In three short years, after the introduction of Res-Q 1250® and other proprietary Res-Q® products, N3 Oceanic had a customer base of 125,000. Positive testimonials were pouring in, crediting Res-Q® products with amazing results.

The health benefits that come from supplementing with exceedingly quality-based products are unquestionable—from restoring energy, balance and overall well-being to possibly even reducing the risk of heart disease. The late Dr. Shields understood that. He built his life upon it.

N3 Oceanic continues to build upon his tradition by adding new and advanced products on a continual basis. We continue to maintain and surpass the highest standards in quality and productivity, making the goal of better health through supplementing one of the best choices you’ll ever make.
