Coromega CEO Brian Dyson’s Omega-3 Score Revealed!
Coromega CEO Brian Dyson’s Omega-3 Score Revealed!
We received a lot of great guesses regarding the omega-3 level of Brian Dyson, Coromega’s CEO and Chairman of the Board.
We loved your feedback, and now it’s time to satisfy everyone’s curiosity. Just what is Brian’s omega-3 score?
He comes in at a 10.1% total omega-3 score! As we mentioned in our previous post, the average American’s omega-3 level is 4.2%, though they should be aiming for the optimal level of 8% or higher.
Congratulations to Diane Lowe, who submitted the winning guess! She will receive a free 30 day supply of Coromega Omega3 + D! Diane says, “I am saying 10.1% for Brian’s score. I really like Coromega and I am taking it regularly, unlike the fish caps from before. I can tolerate yours better. My doctor is pleased with my progress in lowering my numbers all around!” Please e-mail your contact information to Coromega1@gmail.com so we can send you your prize.
As we expected, Brian’s score is off the chart – something he attributes to taking Coromega every day as part of his nutritional routine. Brian says the best part of taking Coromega daily is that it helps him feel fantastic.
“The primary reason I am involved with Coromega is that throughout my life I have been a strong believer in health and well-being, and taking care of yourself is a big part of that,” he said. “The reason I’m invested in this company is because I understand firsthand how it makes me feel and the overall health benefits I receive. The taste is an added bonus. Seeing my omega-3 test results was exciting because it reaffirms my conviction and energizes my belief that Coromega Omega3 can be instrumental to people’s health throughout the U.S.”
Those who submitted guesses will also win a prize for participating – a free 7 day pack of our original Coromega Omega3 Squeeze in orange! Please also send your contact information to Coromega1@gmail.com.
Thanks to everyone who participated! Make sure to visit The Squeeze often for new blog posts and news from Coromega.
The Elusive Healthy Omega-3 Zone – Guess Our CEO’s Score & Win a 30ct. of Coromega
By now, it’s well recognized that a diet rich in Omega-3s has a range of health benefits. You might be taking an Omega-3 supplement every day, but how do you know if it’s working or if you’re really getting enough? We went to Dr. Doug Bibus, a scientific advisor for Coromega and a clinical nutritionist, who helped explain how an individual’s Omega-3 level is determined.
“Fatty acids in our system are expressed in a percent composition, meaning each fatty acid is a percent of the total or all the fatty acids present,” said Dr. Bibus. “Thus, an Omega-3 score of 4% means that 4 of every 100 fatty acids in the blood are Omega-3.”
Research shows that the majority of Americans are deficient in Omega-3s. According to Dr. Bibus, the optimum Omega-3 range is 8% or above, but the U.S. average is almost less than half of that at 4.2%! A study published in 2002 in The New England Journal of Medicine* suggests that Omega-3 blood levels at 6.87% are associated with a 90% relative risk reduction of sudden death from cardiac causes.
Dr. Bibus and Dr. Ralph Holman (one of the country’s foremost Omega-3 researchers) developed a special Omega-3 test to help people find out if they are in the healthy Omega-3 zone. Drs. Bibus and Holman define someone who tests in the 0 to 6% range as deficient in Omega-3s, 6 to 8% as good and 8% or more as excellent. We decided to team up with the doctors and recently gave the test to our CEO and chairman of the board, Brian Dyson. Brian has been taking Coromega daily for 10 years, so we were especially curious to see what his score was!
Where did Brian score on the Omega-3 scale? Leave a comment below with your guess – if you’re the first to guess Brian’s Omega-3 level number correctly, we’ll send you a 30ct. Omega3 Squeeze + D for free!
And stay tuned – we plan to offer the Holman Omega-3 Test at a deep discount on our April newsletter. If you are not currently receiving our Coromega Club Newsletter, you can sign up at http://www.coromega.com/coromega-clubs/coromega-club/.
