Omega-3 Essential (Plant Based)

omega-3-essential-plant-based-IWI Servings per Container: 30 Omega-3 Essential (Plant Based) Supports Heart and Brain Health Algae has been studied extensively for its health benefits due to its richness in many different nutrients, particularly omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the body, but cannot be made in the body, and thus must be consumed. They are primarily known to be beneficial for the heart and brain by targeting inflammation and bad cholesterol levels that can cause disease in both of these major organs. Omega-3 Essential (Plant Based) Benefits: Cardiovascular Health: Both EPA and DHA are both known for their action in overall cardiovascular health. Specifically, EPA helps to control inflammation which can help reduce stress within the vessels, while DHA helps with cholesterol levels within the vessels. Together, they can help control the amount of stress and pressure placed on the heart, helping with its function. Cognitive Well-Being: Similarly to the benefits within the cardiovascular system, EPA and DHA can help with inflammation in the brain, contributing to better overall brain function. Further, DHA plays a role in transmission of brain signals. These both have the potential to decrease the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Antioxidant Benefits: Chlorophyll is a compound present in plants that provides their green pigment. It can provide benefits as it helps to neutralize free radicals, which leads to less oxidative stress and damage to cells. This has the ability to significantly reduce inflammation and damage to major organs.
