Salmon oil is the premium source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Both the US Dietary Guidelines and the American Heart Association advise eating salmon or other fatty fish at least twice each week in order to reap the health benefits associated with omega-3 fatty acid consumption. Both EPA and DHA are the most heavily studied forms of omega-3's with substantial clinical evidence supporting benefits for your heart, brain, joints and your mood.
Unfortunately, the Western diet contributes very little of these essential fatty acids.
In face, the recent statistics indicate that nearly 99% of Americans do not eat enough omega-3 fatty acids, which can lead to a deficiency. There are a multitude of symptoms associated with a omega-3 fatty acid deficiency. Since they are often attributed to some other nutrient deficiencies or health conditions, you may not even know you are deficient. The extensive list of symptoms includes dry itchy skin, brittle or soft nails, allergies, lowered immunity, fatigue, poor concentration, lack of physical endurance, and joint pain. A prolonged deficiency can cause more severe afflictions such as heart disease, depression and arthritis.
Good News!
The good news is that you can easily increase your omega-3 fatty acid intake y supplementing your diet with salmon oil, the premium source of omega-3's. Many fish oils are concentrated to achieve artificially high EPA and DHA levels. This concentration process modifies the oils into a form that is absorbed more slowly. Our salmon oil is no concentrated, leaving the oils in their natural triglyceride form for a quicker absorption.
