Omega-3 DHA + EPA

Supports brain health¹

DHA is a long-chain Omega 3 fatty acid which is found in cell membranes throughout the body. Having adequate levels of DHA is essential for efficient communication between nerve cells.⁵

^{⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠}
If messages cannot be transmitted between nerve cells efficiently, this can affect processes in the brain and throughout the body, limiting normal function. DHA is essential for growth and functional development of the brain in infants and is also required for maintenance of normal brain function in adults.

Supports cardiovascular health²

Research studies support the use of EPA and DHA Omega 3 fatty acids as cardio-protective nutrients.^6-7-8 Higher intakes of these important Omega 3 nutrients are associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular problems.⁹ They are also thought to contribute to normal levels of triglycerides throughout the body as well as support cholesterol levels.¹⁰

Supports vision and eye health³

DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision; DHA is found in a high concentration in the retina in our eyes and is significant for visual development and retinal function.^11-12-13

Supports skin⁴ & hair health¹⁴

Omega 3’s have been shown to regulate the skin’s oil production¹⁵, improve balanced hydration16, and help to support the skin against the ageing effects of UV rays¹⁷. Omega 3’s help to promote skin barrier function, reducing water loss and protecting skin against damaging external toxins¹⁶. Omega 3 supplementation has also been shown to have great results on dry, rough skin¹⁸.

Research has also shown that supplementing Omega 3’s may help to promote healthy hair.¹⁴ Omega 3’s may help to support the hair follicle and scalp¹⁹, encouraging the growth of healthy hair¹⁹. Recent research also indicates efficient support for hair growth and thickness, and reduced hair loss²⁰, whilst taking an Omega 3 supplement.

Supports mood

Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) have also been shown to improve mood²¹. This could be because of the anti-inflammatory²² action that Omega 3’s have, and also that Omega 3’s are able to access brain cell membranes and have a positive effect on mood by boosting serotonin levels²³.
