Life Extension Mega EPA/DHA, 120 softgels

Omega-3s and heart health Omega-3s are good for your heart.1 Research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids helps maintain a healthy heart. But the health benefits of fish oil support more than just the heart and vascular system. Cognitive and joint health support Omega-3s promote healthy cognitive function, help maintain your mood and encourage healthy blood flow in the brain.2-4 Omega-3s also inhibit inflammatory factors to support joint health.5 That makes taking an omega-rich fish oil supplement an important part of any joint health regimen. Omega-3 vs. omega-6 There are two common omega fatty acids in our diets: omega-3s and omega-6s. They’re both essential to health, but balancing the two is even more important, especially since Westerners generally eat foods high in omega-6s and don’t get enough omega-3s. That makes omega-3 supplementation essential. For optimum health, the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids should be between 1:1 and 4:1.6 Made with pure, fresh fish oil Mega EPA/DHA is made with fish oil sustainably sourced from anchovy caught wild in the South Pacific. Caught in a marine mammal-friendly fishery, these fish are processed in a facility located close to the fisheries to preserve freshness. Each two-softgel serving of Mega EPA/DHA contains 720 mg of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and 480 mg of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), making it an affordable and convenient way to get your daily omega-3s.
