MightyOmega Fish Oil and Nutraways Canada North Vancouver and Epic Nutrients

The fun crew at Nutraways next to the 'Reduce Inflammation' display which features MightyOmega! - Deb, Steph, Elaine and Alison!

I love my visits to Nutraways on Lonsdale in North Vancouver!  The Nutraways crew are so friendly and full of health knowledge.  I usually am in there for at least a half hour talking to them and always come out with a wealth of natural health information.

Epic Nutrients recently teamed up with Nutraways at the 2012 Vancouver Wellness Show and a great time was had by all!

MightyOmega fish oil is a huge hit with their customers looking to reduce inflammation and also with those looking for mood support.

Here is a video of Alison Miller, Nutraways Manager, telling us how MightyOmega is helping her customers with certain health/inflammation issues:

Drop by and visit Nutraways if you are looking for natural health products and/or MightyOmega!

Adapt and Recover with Optimal Omega-3 for Athletes

Posted January 27th, 2012 by admin

MightyOmega, Epic Nutrients, CrossFit, Fish Oil

MightyOmega. The Optimal Omega-3 for Athletes.

Make sure you’re fully adapted and recovered before showing up to your next workout by taking care of your sore muscles.

Reducing Muscle Soreness

  • Get plenty of rest
  • Stick to a performance eating plan
  • Strategically supplement with MightyOmega fish oil.

The Exercise and Adaptation Link
Intense and regular exercise challenges your body and causes it to adapt. Muscle soreness is your signal that your body is adapting. This adaptation process is an ancient one and involves a process called inflammation. When properly supported with rest and nutrition, this “healthy” inflammatory process creates not only greater health, but also adaptation (stronger muscles, tendons and ligaments).

The Optimal Omega-3 For Athletes
Now most of you know that getting plenty of rest and sticking to a performance eating program improves athletic performance — and some of you have even experienced the changes. But a less well known fact is that MightyOmega makes is the optimal omega-3 supplement for performance athletes.

Read on to find out why.

The MightyOmega Difference

1. A low heat extraction process using only gentle, eco-friendly carbon dioxide and no harsh solvents like hexane or ethanol. This cutting-edge process is called SuperCritical Extraction
2. A 6.5 to 1 ratio of EPA to DHA to resolve, not inhibit, healthy inflammation. This ratio is called the Functional Omega ratio.
3. No potentially allergenic enteric coatings
4. Easy-to-swallow 800mg capsules
5. Concentrated so results happen at 2 – 4 caps daily
6. Undetectable levels of heavy metals and organic pollutants
7. Use of small fish like sardines and anchovies for sustainability and purity (larger fish accumulate more toxins and metals in their fatty tissues)

MightyOmega Results
What I’m suggesting here is switch from your current fish oil to MightyOmega because the longer you don’t use MightyOmega, the longer you’re going to have to wait to experience cutting-edge omega results. So, grab a bottle of MightyOmega and start dosing at two capsules a day.

Here’s what to expect over time when you use MightyOmega:

  • Less muscle soreness
  • Less joint soreness
  • More energy

And, as an added benefit, MightyOmega may offer significant:

  • Cardiovascular protection because it uses the most clinically-proven form of EPA and DHA–called ethyl esters (EE). The largest clinical trials in the world have proven the effectiveness of the EE form in cardiology.
  • Mood Enhancement from the 6.5 : 1 ratio of EPA to DHA

Adapt and Recover Game Plan
Eating according to a performance diet plan and using the biologically active, undamaged omega-3 fatty acids of EPA and DHA in a 6.5 : 1 ratio is the best way to support this “healthy” inflammatory process to completion. Then, you’ll show up at your next workout fully recovered, adapted and ready to engage.

In health,

Andrew Munaweera

What is CrossFit?

Posted January 17th, 2012 by admin

What Is CrossFit? - Epic Nutrients and MightyOmega

What Is CrossFit?

All of us at Epic Nutrients are CrossFitters! We love both the sport and community. It truly does make our lives better.

I am not one to spend time indoors so was surprised that I loved CrossFit so much!  It makes me a better/stronger skier, dirt biker, mountain biker, hiker, runner etc etc. It is the perfect compliment to all the other sports I do.

What is CrossFit?

CrossFit combines weightlifting, sprinting, and gymnastics. CrossFit says that proficiency is required in each of ten fitness domains: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, agility, balance, coordination, and accuracy.  Workouts include kettlebell swings, rope climbs, pull ups, jump rope, row, run, Olympic Weightlifting and much more!

CrossFit - Epic Nutrients and MightyOmega Fish Oil

CrossFitters doing a WOD (work out of the day).

Each workout consists of a warm up, skill development, and a WOD (Work Out Of The Day). What I love the best is that everyday is completely different!  Trust me, you will never get bored.  Plus there is a real community in all Crossfit gyms.  Everyone is so friendly so it makes working out fun.

You can also do it when on the road or on vacation.  The CrossFit gyms are all over the world!  I’ve met some great people while on vacation and visiting other CrossFit gyms.

This is a great video explaining what CrossFit is all about.

In health,

Kim

Epic Nutrients & MightyOmega Sponsor at Nutts Cup

Posted August 22nd, 2011 by admin

Andy Nutts

Saturday, August 27th, CrossFit Vancouver is hosting the second annual ‘Nutts Cup’ and Epic Nutrients/MightyOmega is a proud sponsor.  We will be there cheering on all the incredible CrossFit athletes from the Epic Nutrients booth and celebrating the life of Andy Nutts.

Andy Nutts was a beloved CrossFit coach in Vancouver. He wanted to make a difference in life, so he joined the Canadian Army. He achieved his dream of leading men into combat when he secured the most sought after role in the Canadian Military – platoon leader in Afghanistan.

Andy led from the front and was killed in Afghanistan at the end of 2009.

The first ‘Nutts Cup’ was held last year to commemorate his life. CrossFit Vancouver members brought their friends and newbies to CrossFit who participated in their first CrossFit workout. There were more than 200 people participating.

Thanks to Crossfit Vancouver, Andy’s parents, Richard and Jane Nuttall, family members and some other generous sponsors, there is $5000 up for grabs.

It will be a super fun event so we hope to see you there.  Please come by and say hi to us at the Epic Nutrient’s booth!
