Which omega-3 supplement is right for you?

What are omega-3s?

Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that maintain heart, eye, brain and skin health and help to relieve inflammation.

The body does not produce them, we get them from the foods we eat, mainly fish. 

If you don't eat fish 2 to 3 times a week, fish oil supplements are another rich source of omega-3.

 

How much omega-3 do you need?

Omega-3s have varying benefits depending on much is consumed.

To maintain general health	600mg omega-3s daily
To help maintain normal blood fats and heart health	900mg omega-3s daily
To help relieve inflammation	2700mg omega-3s daily
To support healthy brain performance	1000mg DHA daily

Always read the label. Follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist talk to your healthcare professional. Supplements may only be of assistance if dietary intake is inadequate.
