Product Information

Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids. They are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body.

For this reason, omega-3 fatty acids must be obtained from food. In a recent double blind study, children given a half-gram of omega 3 supplements showed significant improvements in reading, writing, concentration, and behavior compared to children who received a placebo.

Studies have also shown that children and pregnant women benefit from DHA and EPA l. Fish Oil benefits children with improved learning, increased language and brain development. Pregnant women taking Fish Oil during pregnancy have experienced a reduced risk of post partum depression, and have seen improved development skills and a reduced risk of verbal, social and motor skill impairment in their children. EPA and DHA are the building blocks for the cells in the vital organs and the body requires these Omega-3s to function properly.

Omega-3: Quick Facts

Omega-3 fatty acids are not one single nutrient, but a collection of several, including eicosapentaenic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA). Both are found in greatest abundance in coldwater fish -- and that, say experts, is one reason so many of us are deficient.

Omega-3 fats affect the body in a number of ways, particularly when they are taken at high doses, for example they can reduce blood pressure. It is unlikely that this is the answer, however, as the amount of fish needed per day to achieve this effect is rather more than most people could bear! Omega-3 fats also help the blood to remain clot-free (blood clots can cause heart attacks if they block the coronary arteries) and can reduce levels of fat in the blood, another important risk factor for heart disease.

The fish oil capsules used in this study contained two omega-three (n-3) fatty acids that are believed to benefit heart health: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Certain types of fish can provide these fatty acids as well. However, the levels of DHA and EPA used in this study would be difficult to meet without using supplements. It would require eating as much as 11 ounces of salmon or 15 ounces of tuna daily.

According to the American Heart Association, those looking to protect their hearts should eat a variety of types of fatty fish (such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel) at least twice a week. Those with heart disease should get 1 gram of omega-3s (containing both EPA and DHA) per day, preferably from fatty fish. About 1.5 ounces of fish contains 1 gram of omega-3s.
