Omega-3s are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids. The human body can not synthesize the Omega-3s from other substances, so you must get these important nutrients from the foods you eat and supplements you consume. Omega-3s are essential for overall health and wellbeing.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to healthy aging throughout life! Over the years, fish-derived omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA have been associated with foetal development, cardiovascular function, and Alzheimer’s disease. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA): This 20-carbon fatty acid’s main function is to produce chemicals called eicosanoids, which help reduce inflammation. EPA may also help reduce symptoms of depression. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): A 22-carbon fatty acid, DHA makes up about 8% of brain weight and contributes to brain development and function.
Adults take 1 teaspoon (5mL) daily. Children 2 to 12 years take 2.5mL daily or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Best consumed with food to avoid any aftertaste.
