Omega 3 Health Benefits |

The benefits of Omega 3 have been life changing for my children, as well as my whole family. I initially started my son on Omega 3 supplements due to his ADD along with a learning disability, (which unfortunately often goes along with the ADD/ADHD diagnosis). His memory improvement, mood swings,

anger and overall health showed amazing improvement after 2 months of taking the supplements three times a day, everyday. I then began to research how this supplement benefits the mind and body. The brain is made up of fatty tissue, Omega 3 is needed to supply nourishment for your brain tissue. Unfortunately most people do not consume the proper amount of fish weekly that is needed. The Omega 3 supplements provide the extra amount that benefits your health. The careful and precise processing of the supplements removes the harmful mercury that is often found in certain types of fish, thus creating a safe and effective product. Several companies have come out with gummy bear Omega 3 supplements so children who are unable to swallow pills can still receive the benefits.
Studies done by several Universities have shown that increased Omega 3 intake not only benefits the mind but the body as well. The latest Pittsburgh University study shows the incredible benefits for pregnant women while taking Omega 3 in their growing fetus. The brain of the baby is growing quickly and the intake of Omega 3 (mercury free) has shown increased intelligence in children. The research for the general public has shown, increased brain wave activity, lower blood pressure, as well as help for depression, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, blood pressure, allergies and asthma.
Personally, my son with ADD tested out of the special education class after one year of being on the supplements. His reading level jumped six grade levels. My son with asthma no longer needs an inhaler. My husband who has severe allergies no longer needs to take allergy medicine. I personally have not been sick this year, which is amazing for me because before taking the supplements I was sick constantly. My mood swings and mild depression has also disappeared. When choosing a supplement I chose a highly concentrated EPA & DHA supplement that also contained a natural triglyceride (to help maintain the potency during the digestive process).
In closing, the benefits of Omega 3 have produced life changing results for our family. The research, tests and studies have shown amazing benefits without side effects. Start your family today on a path to a healthier future.
