Omega 3

Omega 3

OMEGA 3 fatty acids are one of the “good” types of fat. It contains both essential fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) which is much needed and essential building blocks for our system. Omega 3’s may help lower the risk of heart disease, depression, dementia, and arthritis and is a beneficial supplement for healthy brain function. It is one of the most important nutrients for growth and development in children.

WHAT IS OMEGA 3 EPA / DHA

Omegas are fatty acids belonging to a group of polyunsaturated fats called ‘essential’ fatty acids, and are divided into omega 3 and omega 6 and omega 9

THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF OMEGA 3 IN FISH OIL ARE

• EPA (EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID)
  
  EPA concentrates in the cell membranes of the adrenal glands and enhances their function and in the myelin sheaths of the brain’s neurons where it attracts the oxygen necessary for the chemical activities of neurons.

• DHA (DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID)
  
  DHA is required during the development stages of life for the optimal development of the cerebral cortex of the brain and high concentrations of DHA are present in the cerebral cortex throughout life

FOR A MEASURED DOSE OF OMEGA- 3 ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID (EPA/DHA), TAKING OMEGA 3 OIL SUPPLEMENTS IS A PROPER INTAKE DOSAGE THAT YOUR BODY NEEDS.

WHY SHOULD WE SUPPLEMENT?

The best dietary source of Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA is found in fish. Unfortunately our bodies can’t produce essential fatty acid and our daily dietary intake of fish or Omega 3’s are just not enough. Thus it is important to supplement our diet with good quality Omega 3 fatty acids.
