OMEGA 3

Omega-3 fatty acids are lipid-regulating agents, which means that they can decrease the amount of triglycerides and other fats produced in the liver.

If used in conjunction with healthy lifestyle changes such as dieting, weight loss and exercise, triglycerides in the blood can be lowered in people who have very high triglyceride levels.

HOW TO TAKE OMEGA-3

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for health. Omega-3 fatty acids cannot be manufactured by the body and therefore must be obtained from animal and plant sources such as fish oil and some plants such as flaxseed, chia seeds and hemp seeds. There are also many foods today that are advertised as being enriched with Omega-3 such as milk.
