ESSENTIAL OMEGA-3 is our high potency blend of ultra-pure Omega-3s. Our Omega-3s exist in their most active, natural triglyceride form and not as inferior, synthetic ethyl esters. Omega-3s are required for the structure, function and health of all body systems and since they cannot be made by the body, their benefits are only available from cold-water fish or a quality Omega-3 supplement. Research has shown that diets rich in Omega-3s are associated with superior heart, brain, eye, circulatory and general health; yet the American diet delivers alarmingly low levels of these precious fats. Andrew Lessman\'s Essential Omega-3 delivers a concentrated, but mild blend of DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid), EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DPA (Docosapentaenoic Acid), as well as SDA (Stearidonic Acid) from Ahiflower oil - its richest natural source. Our Omega-3s target vital DHA, which is essential for brain, eye and heart structure and function. In fact, the highest functioning areas of the brain and the most critical parts of the eye (macula and retina) contain and require ultra-high levels of DHA. Fish oil supplements have long been praised for their myriad health benefits, but they are also criticized for their potential contaminants; however, Essential Omega-3 allows you to enjoy all the benefits of fish oil without the contaminants or stomach upset.
