Many B vitamins are used in the body individually or in combination with enzymes to help release energy from carbohydrates, fat, and protein. Vitamin B coenzymes are crucial to the metabolic pathways that generate the energy needed by every cell in the body. Because they are codependent in their metabolic activities, a deficiency of one B vitamin can affect optimal functioning of organ systems throughout the body.170

Niacin is the only B vitamin that can be synthesized in the liver from the amino acid tryptophan — on average, 1 mg of niacin can be synthesized from the ingestion of 60 mg of tryptophan.198-200 In its coenzyme forms, niacin is crucial to energy transfer reactions, particularly the metabolism of glucose, fat, and alcohol.201, 202 Niacin’s beneficial effects on blood lipids is well-documented.203-215

The Dancing Mushroom

Maitake mushroom, also known as "Hen of the Woods", is native to East Asia and North America. Revered for its large, fan-shaped, overlapping clusters, this mushroom is not only a culinary delight but also has been used traditionally in herbal medicine. Rich in beta-glucans, Maitake is known for its immune system modulating properties.

Organically grown and extracted to increase the bioavailability of the beneficial compounds.

Primary Maitake Mushroom Medicinal Benefits: Helps to maintain healthy blood pressure and supports immune function

Maitake mushrooms support immune function by stimulating the immune system’s lymphocytes, natural killer cells, monocytes, and T-helper cells.

Historical Uses of Maitake Medicinal Mushrooms

Maitake, Grifola frondosa is commonly known as Hen of the Woods or the Dancing Mushroom. It is plentiful in the deciduous forests of North America and Japan. It is an edible mushroom with an earthy flavour. Traditional Chinese Medicine has used this mushroom for its support of the spleen, and for benefiting qi. The mushroom (fruiting body) contains polysaccharides such as beta-glucans, which have been linked to healthy cell growth and turnover*.

Maitake became quite famous in the 1990's after Dr. Hiroaki Nanba, a pharmacologist at Kobe Pharmaceutical University in Japan, began isolating and testing different polysaccharide fractions from Maitake. Many of these fractions were quite potent immunomodulating agents.

Best Ways to Include Maitake Mushrooms in Your Daily Life

The Maitake we use in our 5 Defenders Mushroom Blend is made from ONLY the mushroom (fruiting body), so you can be assured that you are getting the full potency this mushroom can offer for your health. We recommend taking two capsules of our mushroom supplements a day over at least a 3-month period to feel the full beneficial effect.

Zahler's Omega 3 Platinum contains pure and high-quality kosher fish oil to support overall wellness.

• High-quality and purified Omega 3 from tuna fish
• Supports healthy heart, brain, joints, vision, skin and vascular health
• FOS-certified for sustainability
• No fishy aftertaste

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid, which means that the body requires it but cannot produce it on its own. The benefits of Omega 3 come primarily from the EPA and DHA, and Zahler's Omega 3 Platinum is a pure, certified Kosher fish oil formula that has high concentrations of EPA and DHA in a 3 to 2 ratio. Omega 3 Platinum contains FOS-certified Omega 3 fatty acids derived from wild-caught skipjack tuna fish. With Omega 3 Platinum, you get more of Omega 3's fighting power in a smooth softgel with no fishy aftertaste.

OMEGA-3: IT’S NOT JUST FOR “HEALTH NUTS”

The importance of essential fatty acids to health has received much awareness recently. Many people, even those who don’t follow the latest health developments, are aware of the significance of Omega-3 fatty acids. Double-blind studies appearing in peer-reviewed medical journals have documented Omega-3’s now legendary compilation of health benefits. The list of conditions Omega-3 has been proven to alleviate includes heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, ADHD, depression, focus & memory issues, osteoporosis, dry eye syndrome, and even some common forms of cancer.

PURITY & SAFETY
When supplementing with fish oil, it is crucial to ensure that the supplement is of highest quality and purity, free of high levels of mercury, PCBs and other toxins. Zahler Omega 3 Platinum contains only highly refined fish oil.

ABSORPTION & BIOAVAILABILITY
Of course, our bodies can only use nutrients that get absorbed, so that should be a major consideration as the rate of absorption varies from product to product.

NEW! FRESH SMELL AND NO AFTERTASTE
A lemon-infused scented insert is included in every bottle to maintain a fresh smell. This advancement makes taking Zahler Omega 3 Platinum a pleasant and palatable experience.

IT’S ALL ABOUT EPA & DHA
What many people are not aware of is that all forms of Omega-3 are not equal. The two most crucial forms of Omega-3, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are by far more effective than all the other Omega-3 fatty acids. The FDA has given a qualified health claim status to EPA and DHA fatty acids, stating that: “…Research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.” The Canadian Government has confirmed that: “DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, supports the normal development of the brain, eyes and nerves.”

With EPA and DHA being such crucial nutrients, it is important for everyone to get their nutritional dose of Omega-3, either from fatty fish like mackerel, herring, sardines, and salmon or in the form of an EPA/DHA-rich Omega-3 supplement. The number one consideration when evaluating a fish oil supplement is how much EPA and DHA per capsule does the supplement provide. The higher the concentration of EPA and DHA, the fewer capsules are needed to get the maximum effect.

Other considerations when choosing a fish oil supplement include purity, absorption, presence of artificial or synthetic additives, and, of course, taste.

BONUS: VITAMIN D3 ADDED
Since vitamin D3 is crucial for overall health, Omega 3 Platinum is also available in a combination formula of Omega 3 and Vitamin D3. That leaves you with one pill less to swallow.

With Omega 3 Platinum, you get more of Omega 3’s fighting power in a smooth softgel with no fishy aftertaste.

Product FAQs

Is the fish oil in Omega 3 Platinum derived from wild-caught fish?

Yes, the tuna used in the Omega 3 Platinum is wild caught.

What is the maximum amount of softgels I can take per day.

You can take up to 4 softgels daily, preferably divided to 2 and 2. Be sure to take the Omega 3 Platinum with food.

What are the benefits of taking an Omega 3 supplement?

Omega 3 oils the body. Just as when something around the house isn't working well - you oil it, Omega 3 lubricates the body and keeps things running smoothly. Omega 3 is commonly used to reduce inflammation, enhance mood, calm anxiety, lift depression, improve memory, boost skin and heart health, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels and support brain and eye function.

Can everyone take Omega 3 Platinum?

Since Omega 3 has blood-thinning properties, anyone taking blood-thinning medication or with thrombocytopenia (thin blood) should consult with their physician before taking an Omega 3 supplement.

Zahler bioactive B-Complex contains a well-balanced formula of the B Vitamins in body-ready forms for quick and easy absorption

• Bioactive B-Complex formula
• Advanced timed release formula with a two-stage delivery system
• Contains the B Vitamins in methylated, phosphorylated, and coenzyme forms
• Supports the nervous system and energy production

Zahler B-Complex is formulated with a unique two-stage delivery system, with half of the nutrients released immediately and the other half delayed for sustained benefit and enhanced absorption. This advanced formula includes only body-ready (coenzyme, methylated and phosphorylated) forms that don't require complex conversion. The B vitamins are critical for general well-being and specifically support mood, energy, and nervous system functioning.

Advanced Two Stage Delivery:
Zahler's upgraded Bioactive B Complex is a two-layered tablet with layer 1 (half of the nutrients) released and delivered immediately. The delayed release of layer 2 (the other half of the nutrients) enables sustained benefit. Since the B vitamins are water soluble and quickly metabolized and excreted, the benefits of slow release include more stable blood levels and an increase in the total amount of nutrients being absorbed and utilized.

Product FAQs

I noticed that most companies make their B-Complex with much higher doses of the B vitamins. Why does Zahler formulate with such small amounts of each vitamin?

It's not how much you take, it's how much you absorb. Zahler uses the most highly absorbable, body-ready forms of the B vitamins. Since the absorption is so great, it is not necessary for it to contain such high amounts. Additionally, the B vitamins are water soluble and don't stay in the body, so supplementing with higher amounts does not mean that the body gets more. It would only make the body work more to get rid of the excess nutrients.

Is Zahler Bioactive B Complex suitable for those with the MTHFR mutation?

Yes, Zahler Bioactive B Complex contains body-ready forms of the B Vitamins including methylated, phosphorylated and coenzyme forms. Hence, it is suitable for those with the MTHFR mutation.

How many hours apart are the 2 layers of Zahler B Complex released?

The first portion (half the tablet) is released within 30 minutes. The second half will take a few hours. There are differences in the rate of release of the second half between individuals. Majority of the people will have layer 2 working within two to three hours.

Does the B Complex contain Thiamine?

Yes, Zahler Bioactive B Complex contains Thiamine in the form of Benfotiamine. This is the active coenzyme of Vitamin B1, or Thiamine. It is more biologically active and does not require an enzyme-driven bioconversion in the body, which may be impaired in some individuals.

Suggested use

Known for its key role in bone health, Vitamin D helps your body utilize calcium and phosphorus. But that’s just the beginning of what it does for your body. This uniquely versatile vitamin is critical for supporting the health of countless body processes, including immune, cardiovascular and respiratory health, muscle function, healthy cell development and healthy mental function, among many others.

Direct sunlight exposure is, by far, the best way to get your vitamin D, as your skin produces vitamin D when exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. But for people living in temperate climates like the U.S., it can be hard to get enough sun to generate healthy amounts of vitamin D. Because of this, most people in the U.S. and Canada can benefit from supplementation.
