Omega-3

I have been taking Omega-3 for many years, but little did I know all the benefits of this supplement. Research has been showing omega-3 benefits heart, eye, joint, mind and immune system health. Emerging science is also focusing on omega-3's link to skin health.

The universal awareness and public acceptance of the health benefits of Omega-3 ingredients has translated into rising consumer recognition. Marine-sourced Omega-3, EPA and DHA are the most popular forms, gaining a majority of the attention for their heart and brain benefits. Even the infant nutrition sector is booming due to new fortification in both Western and Asian markets. Formulation diversity means that most foods and beverage are available for fortification. Products ranging from bread to milk, juice, tortillas, chocolate, yogurt, peanut butter and even meat are all boasting Omega-3 nutrients.

Even with fortification becoming more popular, the best way to know exactly how much Omega-3 you are taking is via supplement. Omega-3, in food or in supplements, seems to be here to stay. Stay tuned to more research on the benefits of omega-3.
