Spotlight On: Garden of Life Omega-3 Supplements

Do you know what omega-3 supplements could be doing for you?

 

Omega-3s are essential fatty acids – so-called because of the essential role they can play in supporting your health and wellbeing.

 

Oily fish like tuna, salmon and mackerel are one of the main sources of omega-3, but if you don’t like it or don’t eat much of it, omega-3 supplements are a handy way to top up your intake. They typically contain two types of omega-3: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).

 

DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and brain function, while a 250mg daily dose of DHA and EPA can contribute to the normal function of the heart and to the maintenance of normal blood pressure.

At Garden of Life, traceability is at the heart of all our products and that extends to our omega-3 range. We are committed to harvesting fish that are abundant in the wild and never endangered. The fish we use are wild, fresh-caught fish that have been sustainably harvested in pristine waters.

 

Here, we take a look at the different omega-3 supplements available in our range, including omega-3 for women’s health needs, pregnant women and omega-3 for kids:
