Why do I need to supplement with Omega-3?Updated 17 days ago
Your body cannot produce EPA and DHA efficiently on its own.
Plant sources like flax and chia provide a basic form of omega-3 called ALA. The body can convert a small amount of ALA into the EPA and DHA your brain, eyes and heart actually use, but the conversion is very low (under 8% for EPA, under 0.5% for DHA). Most people benefit from a direct dietary or supplement source of the active forms.
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and normal vision. EPA and DHA together contribute to the normal function of the heart.
Daily supplementation with Omega-3 Complete delivers 400mg DHA + 140mg EPA - enough to clear those thresholds in a single serving.
