LIFESTAGE BENEFITS OF OMEGA 3s

Essential for your health and wellness, through all of life’s stages.

DHA /EPA and infants

Dietary DHA is essential for healthy eye and brain development and function in both full term and premature infants. Some research also suggests that DHA deficiencies during this rapid period of central nervous system development can cause sub-optimal cognitive performance later in life.

DHA/EPA for children

Dietary DHA has shown to be associated with improving children's brain activity and mental condition. The recommended intake for DHA plus EPA as set in some countries for children is 150 mg/day. This is well above the current daily intake in North America of less than 50 mg/day.

DHA/EPA and adults

The recommended combined average of DHA plus EPA for adults in North America is
500 mg/day, the actual daily intake is only 130 mg/day. The anti-inflammatory properties in OMEGA 3 may benefit adults who suffer from arthritis, and other inflammatory associated chronic disorders. DHA and EPA OMEGA 3s also support the dietary management of adults with heart disease and cardiovascular disease.

DHA/EPA during pregnancy

For pregnant or breast feeding women recommendations from Europe advise the consumption 200 mg/day of DHA. DHA is extremely important for growth and development of the brain of infants and young children.

DHA/EPA for seniors

Seniors may benefit from the more recently suggested protective qualities against Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive deterioration, as well as OMEGA 3s effect on reducing heart and cardiovascular disease, decreasing arrhythmia, blood clots and triglyceride levels, and improving arterial health.
