Premium Plus Omega-3 High EPA/DHA

Omega 3 is a type of fatty acid that is essential for our health. It is primarily found in fish oils and some plant sources. There are three main types of omega 3 fatty acids: ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Both EPA and DHA are crucial for various bodily functions.

Omega 3 fatty acids are vital for maintaining heart health, brain function, and overall wellbeing. They help reduce inflammation, support cardiovascular health, and may even improve mood and cognitive function. Most people do not get enough omega 3 from their diet, making supplementation beneficial.

Yes, not all omega 3 supplements are created equal. The quality can vary based on the source of the omega 3, the extraction process, and the concentration of EPA and DHA. Always look for supplements that provide high levels of these essential fatty acids and are sourced from reputable suppliers.

When purchasing omega 3 supplements, consider the following:

• EPA and DHA levels: Choose a product that clearly states the amounts of these two fatty acids per serving.
• Source: Look for omega 3s derived from high-quality fish or algae.
• Purity: Check if the product is tested for contaminants like heavy metals and toxins.
• Formulation: Consider the form (liquid, capsule, etc.) that best suits your preferences.

The recommended daily intake of omega 3 varies depending on individual health needs and dietary habits. Generally, a common recommendation is to consume around 500-1500mg of combined EPA and DHA per day for general health. However, consult your healthcare provider for personalised advice based on your health goals.

While you can obtain omega 3 from dietary sources such as fatty fish (like salmon and mackerel), walnuts, flaxseeds, and chia seeds, many people struggle to consume the recommended amounts through diet alone. Omega 3 supplements can help bridge this gap, especially for those who do not eat fish regularly.

Omega 3 supplements are generally considered safe for most people. However, some may experience mild side effects such as stomach upset or a fishy aftertaste. It's best to take the supplement with food to help reduce any potential issues. If you have concerns or are taking blood-thinning medications, consult your doctor before starting any new supplement.

To maintain the quality and freshness of your omega 3 supplements, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If your product is in liquid form, refrigerating it after opening can help prolong its shelf life. Always check the expiry date and follow any specific storage instructions provided on the label.
