Why are Omega 3 Fatty Acids Good For You?

One of our favorite Red Leaf Products, Omega 3 Fish Oil, recently got a total Red Leaf makeover complete with new packaging. Same great product, just a new look! Red Leaf’s Non-GMO Omega 3 Fish Oil contains 800mg EPA and 600mg DHA, which are two essential ingredients in managing heart disease. Taking two Omega 3 Fish Oil capsules daily with a meal can decrease inflammation and boost heart and joint health. Omega 3 supplements are a popular supplement option for a wide variety of age groups. But why are Omega 3 fatty acids so good for you?

Essential Fats & Your Body

Fat’s role in your body is to support cell growth, absorb nutrients, and support hormone production. Most research shows that humans need a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fats to support our health. Omega 3 fatty acids are unsaturated fats that can assist with lowering blood pressure, decreasing plaque buildup in the arteries, and keeping joints healthy by reducing inflammation. An Omega 3 supplement like Red Leaf’s takes the guesswork out of balancing your essential fats. Souced from fresh-caught fish in South America and GMO-free, Red Leaf Omega 3 supplement is a great option for those looking to improve their overall wellbeing.

 

Types of Fat Within Omega 3s

There are 3 Omega 3 fatty acids: Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Red Leaf’s Omega 3 Fish Oil supplement contains 800mg EPA and 600mg DHA, two of the most essential Omega 3 fats in managing heart disease.

 

Other Sources of Omega 3s

Our Omega 3 supplements are sourced from fresh-caught fish in South America, though there are numerous sources of Omega 3 available in the foods we eat every day. Incorporating foods like olive oil, avocado, salmon, and lean cuts of protein in your diet can provide additional natural sources of Omega 3s. Another great source of Omega 3s are nuts, specifically almonds, cashews, and macadamia nuts.
