Supplement for Heart, Brain And Eye Health, Flexible Joints and Prenatal Nutrition

It has lo ng been known and proven that omega-3 fatty acids play critical roles in the human diet. In particular, two omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) have been well researched. Today, the latest scientific research not only continues to validate the important roles of EPA and DHA in human health, but it has also shown that there is a whole family of omega-3 fatty acids, a total of eight, which contribute to optimal human nutrition. 

This critically important chain of dietary omega-3 fatty acids starts with ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and ends with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), taking six important steps alo ng the way. 

Each is now known to have its own unique biochemistry and supporting “synergistic” role in human omega-3 nutrition. Dietary guidelines for many nations around the world including those from the United States Department of Agriculture and Food Based Dietary Guidelines for South Africans suggest that all adults eat 2-3 servings of fish each week for optimal health. Unfortunately, the problem for many adults is that they eat very little fish on a consistent basis and rarely meet this important nutritional need. Large portions of the population go without getting any broad spectrum omega-3 supplementation for weeks, sometimes months. 

Not to mention the fact that much of the fish supply is suspect due to environmental contamination. Pregnant women, who have the highest dietary needs for omega-3 fatty acids, ironically are instructed to limit their fish intake to one serving per week, due to contamination risk. Currently, there are no formal guidelines for the amount of omega-3 fatty acids that children should consume. 

However, the USDA recommends 85-225g of seafood, including fatty fish (such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel) rich in omega-3s, per week depending on the child’s age. Meeting these recommendations for intakes of omega-3 rich fish per week will equate to approximately 250-500mg of omega-3 fatty acids per day. Despite the importance of omega-3 fatty acids for children, few are getting enough servings of fish in their diet. Research in South Africa found that children in general are eating higher amounts of saturated fats and insufficient amounts of polyunsaturated fats, particularly omega-3 rich sources. This is true even in coastal communities who have greater access to fish potentially rich in important omega-3 fats. In the rest of Sub Saharan Africa, fish constitutes the lowest source of kilojoules in the family diet. 

NeoLife solves the problem of inadequate omega-3 fatty acid intake with Omega-3 Salmon Oil Plus and Smart 8 providing a complete omega-3 profile of salmon oil with all eight members of the omega-3 fatty acid family, assuring complete omega-3 supplementation in every dose.

Why Supplement With Fish Oil Rich In Omega-3 Fatty Acids?

Fatty fish is the richest source of healthful omega-3 fatty acids, but most of us do not eat the 2-3 servings per week that experts recommend for optimal health. 

Supplementation has been proven to be an effective means of increasing dietary omega-3 fatty acids. 

Omega-3 fatty acids support optimal function of body tissues and organs, notably the heart, blood vessels, brain, nerves, eyes, skin and joints.

Omega-3 fatty acids, crucial to the development of infant brain and eyes, are naturally present in mother’s milk. Infants, whose mothers consume foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, have higher omega-3 fatty acid levels compared to those whose mothers do not consume omega-3-rich foods.

Omega-3 fatty acids may slow ageing of the brain. Older adults who supplement their diets with EPA and DHA have demonstrated greater cognitive function when compared to those who don’t. 

People who do not like fish can get the omega-3 fatty acids they need for optimal health from fish oil supplements
