SaluxOmega: A Next-Level Fish Oil for Mood, Hormones, and Inflammation
Omega-3s are one of the most well-studied nutrients in modern medicine. Thousands of peer-reviewed articles link them to everything from heart and brain health to inflammation and hormone regulation.
But not all fish oil supplements are created equal. In fact, many don’t deliver what they promise, especially for people with gut issues, inflammation, or hormone imbalances.
That’s why we use and recommend SaluxOmega, a pharmaceutical-grade omega-3 that uses breakthrough MaxSimil® technology to deliver results most fish oils can’t touch.
Why We Upgraded from Standard Fish Oil
Most over-the-counter fish oils use what’s called an ethyl ester form. This is a structure that requires bile and pancreatic enzymes to break it down before your body can even absorb it. That’s a problem for anyone dealing with:
Leaky gut or digestive inflammation
Poor fat absorption
Fatigue, mold illness, or chronic stress
Autoimmune disease or post-viral syndromes (like long COVID)
And even if your gut is healthy, those ester-form fish oils often lead to the dreaded fishy burps, reflux, or heaviness in the stomach.
Why SaluxOmega Is Different
SaluxOmega uses a patented delivery system called MaxSimil®. This technology delivers omega-3s in a monoglyceride form, which is the exact structure your body naturally intakes through the gut wall.
No extra digestion. No breakdown steps. No guesswork.
Dr. McWhorter explains it this way:
“Most fish oils are like greasy blobs that hang around in your stomach. SaluxOmega gets absorbed quickly and goes right where you need it. It’s delivered like a gift that’s already been fully unwrapped and unpackaged; there are no extra steps required for your body to reap the benefits.”
That results in:
Up to 3x better absorption
No fishy aftertaste or reflux
More EPA and DHA delivered to the brain, joints, and hormones
Better outcomes with fewer capsules
Built for Patients with Real Symptoms
“This isn’t just about avoiding fish burps. It’s about what your brain is made of. What your hormones are built on. What your cells are surrounded by. When you take fish oil that actually gets at the cellular level, there is a difference.””
We reach for SaluxOmega often, especially when patients come in with:
Chronic inflammation or high CRP
Hormonal imbalances or painful periods
Anxiety, depression, or brain fog
Post-COVID fatigue and immune dysfunction
Cardiovascular issues or high triglycerides
Mold toxicity or chronic Lyme
Menopause or perimenopause symptoms
Skin issues, vision changes, or joint pain
Omega-3s are essential to brain and hormone health. But only when they’re actually absorbed and integrated into your cells.
What Makes SaluxOmega Clinically Superior
IFOS 5-Star Certified for purity, potency, and freshness
No mercury, no oxidation, no rancidity
High EPA and DHA content per gel cap (so you take fewer)
Tested with your bloodwork (ask us about your Omega-3 Index!)
Clinically safe even for sensitive systems—only rare soft stool or bruising
At Alabama Functional Medicine, we often test blood levels before and after supplementation to make sure your cells are actually made of what they need, not just surrounded by it.
Omega-3s and Your Cell Membranes: Why It Matters
Every single cell in your body is made with fat. Not bricks and cement. Fat.
Specifically, the outer layer of your cells, called the lipid bilayer, is made of fatty acids. If that layer is stiff or inflamed (from processed seed oils or poor-quality fats), your cells can’t:
Absorb nutrients
Release toxins
Communicate effectively with your hormones or nervous system
“Omega-3s make the membrane more fluid,” Dr. McWhorter says. “That means better access for nutrients, better detox, and better mood and brain support.”
Fish oil even plays a role in how your immune system recognizes abnormal or precancerous cells. It’s a quiet protector at the cellular level.
PUFA Myths: What About the Fear of “Bad Fats”?
Some corners of the internet are skeptical of PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids), lumping all of them—seed oils and fish oils—into the same category.
Let’s be clear: SaluxOmega is a good PUFA. It:
Reduces inflammation rather than creating it
Cools cytokine storms (important for long-COVID recovery)
Balances Omega-6 overload from corn oil and processed foods
Supports hormone production, retinal health, and brain signaling
These are resolvins and protectins, not the inflammatory PUFAs found in cheap seed oils.
The Omega-3 Index: Are Your Cells Built Right?
At Alabama Functional Medicine, we go a step further by testing your Omega-3 Index, a blood test that shows how much of your cell membranes are made from EPA/DHA vs. omega-6s.
Dr. McWhorter’s ideal range? 8 or higher. Most people without supplementation are 1–4.
If you’re supplementing and still not seeing benefits, this test tells us whether you’re getting enough or if we need to switch to something like SaluxOmega to overcome bioavailability issues.
