ADVERTORIAL
Only the Arctic Could Produce the King of All Omegas
By Matthew Larsen
Everybody knows where the highly popular health supplement Arctic Ruby Oil® comes from. It’s right there in the name.
The Arctic. But here’s the question almost nobody asks…Why does that matter?
Most people simply assume the Arctic is where Arctic Ruby Oil® happens to be harvested. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The Arctic isn’t simply where Arctic Ruby Oil® comes from.The Arctic didn’t just give Arctic Ruby Oil® its address.
It gave Arctic Ruby Oil® its essence.
In fact, if Calanus finmarchicus had lived anywhere else on earth other than the Arctic, Arctic Ruby Oil® would never have existed.Why?
Because it needed the harshest environment on earth to create it.¹
Every extraordinary adaptation found within Arctic Ruby Oil®—its naturally occurring marine wax esters, astaxanthin, stearidonic acid (SDA), and policosanols—exists for one reason.²
The Arctic demanded them.
They were forged by relentless cold. By months without food.¹ By near-freezing seas.¹ By an environment that never rewards “good enough.”
Take away the Arctic…
and you take away the very forces that created Arctic Ruby Oil®.
And once you understand why…
you’ll understand why millions of people now call Arctic Ruby Oil®…
King of All Omegas.
The World’s Most Demanding Laboratory
The Arctic isn’t just cold. It’s unforgiving.¹
For months every year, darkness blankets the ocean.¹ Temperatures remain near freezing.¹Food virtually disappears.¹Powerful storms sweep across an ocean that seems almost impossible for life.¹
Every living creature faces the same question.
How to survive until spring?
There are no participation trophies in the Arctic.
No second chances.
No “almost.”
Every winter becomes another experiment.
Every spring reveals the results.
If an adaptation works…
life continues.
If it doesn’t…
it disappears forever.
Generation after generation, the Arctic has quietly become the world’s greatest biological laboratory, preserving only those survival strategies extraordinary enough to withstand one of the harshest environments on Earth.¹
The Arctic doesn’t reward average.
It eliminates it.
Arguably the Arctic’s greatest success story is almost invisible.
Its name is Calanus finmarchicus.³
Barely larger than a grain of rice, this tiny marine zooplankton forms the foundation of the Arctic’s dynamic ecosystem.³⁻⁵It provides the ultimate nutrition for creatures both large and small, from the mighty long lived Bowhead whale, over 2 centuries,⁶ to the little Auk, the Arctic’s endurance champion, staying aloft for days.⁷Almost every Arctic creature depends on Calanus.³⁻⁵But feeding the Arctic isn’t what makes Calanus extraordinary.
Surviving the Arctic does.
Imagine knowing that within a few short weeks your food supply will disappear.
Not for days.
Not for weeks.
For months.
How do you survive?
The Arctic demanded an answer.
Calanus finmarchicus responded with one of nature’s greatest biological innovations.
Approximately 85% of its body weight becomes a unique marine oil, Arctic Ruby Oil®, nature’s most condensed energy substance.² ⁸
At the heart of Arctic Ruby Oil® are naturally occurring marine wax esters.² ⁸
Think of them as nature’s long-term energy vault. Rather than burning through precious energy quickly, marine wax esters allow Calanus to store enormous reserves of energy in an exceptionally stable form, carrying it safely through the long Arctic winter until spring returns.⁸⁻¹⁰
Without that innovation…
there would be no next generation.
But here’s where this remarkable story suddenly becomes personal.
Unlike the triglycerides found in conventional fish oil—or the phospholipids found in krill oil—naturally occurring marine wax esters are digested much more slowly.¹¹ ¹²
Instead of being absorbed almost immediately in the upper digestive tract, they travel farther into the intestine before being broken down.¹²
They reach omega fatty acid sensing receptors in the posterior gut—receptors involved in metabolism, energy and the body’s natural GLP-1 response.
That means the very survival strategy that carried Calanus through the Arctic winter also allows Arctic Ruby Oil® to behave fundamentally differently inside your body than conventional fish oil or krill oil.
But solving one Arctic problem created another.
How to store Arctic Ruby Oil® for months without allowing it to become damaged?
Once again…
the Arctic had an answer.
It infused Arctic Ruby Oil® with copious amounts of naturally occurring astaxanthin—the world’s most powerful antioxidant.¹³
Today, that same naturally occurring astaxanthin helps provide powerful antioxidant protection throughout your body, helping defend cells against oxidative stress.¹³
Then came another Arctic challenge.
Near-freezing seawater changes everything.¹
Cell membranes must remain flexible.¹⁴
Energy production cannot simply stop because temperatures plunge.¹
Among the Arctic’s elegant solutions is naturally occurring stearidonic acid (SDA)—a highly efficient omega-3 precursor that Arctic Ruby Oil® contains.¹⁵
For us, SDA provides an efficient pathway toward EPA production, helping support heart health, circulation, cognitive function and the many benefits associated with healthy omega-3 metabolism.¹⁵ ¹⁶
Almost forgot, even the architecture of marine wax esters reveals another Arctic innovation.
Marine wax esters are built from long-chain fatty acids joined to long-chain fatty alcohols.⁸
Those naturally occurring fatty alcohols include policosanols.¹⁷
For us, policosanols are associated with healthy lipid metabolism and healthy circulation.¹⁷
One by one…
every challenge the Arctic presented produced another remarkable biological solution.
And one by one…
those same Arctic survival solutions can become meaningful health solutions for you.
Picture yourself on a vacation you’ve dreamed about for years.
You’ve wandered ancient streets.
Explored museums.
Walked miles of breathtaking coastline.
Climbed to the overlook everyone said was worth the effort.
Late in the afternoon, your wife smiles and asks,
“Are we done for the day?”
Ordinarily, your answer might have been,
“Yeah… I think we’re done for today.”
Instead, you smile and say,
“No… let’s keep going.”
Millions of people around the world trust Arctic Ruby Oil® to support heart health, healthy circulation, cognitive function, healthy blood pressure, healthy blood sugar metabolism, healthy vision, healthy skin, joint comfort and mobility, stamina, energy and healthy aging.¹⁶ ¹⁸–²³
And those health benefits are why people just like you continue taking Arctic Ruby Oil®.Care to join them and discover what the Arctic can do for your heath?
They offer half off for first time buyers.
P.S.
Calanus finmarchicus represents one of the largest marine biomasses on Earth.²⁴ Harvesting for human nutrition is tightly controlled.²⁵
Only one company is licensed to harvest it commercially, and every harvest is scientifically monitored and carefully limited to help protect the long-term health of the Arctic ecosystem.²⁵
