Do I really need to supplement with the Omega 3 Complex?
We all need omega 3 fatty acids in our diet for sustained physical and mental health. Research indicates that omega 3 fatty acids may help reduce the risk and symptoms of a variety of disorders. Omega 3 fatty acids can lower triglyceride levels, increase HDL cholesterol, help minimize inflammation and blood clotting, and keep blood vessels healthy. These fatty acids are found primarily in oily fish that live in deep, cold water, such as salmon, mackerel, black cod, sardines, and herring. Omega 3 fatty acids derived from molecularly distilled fish oils are naturally high in both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). EPA supports heart health. DHA makes up membranes of nerve cells in the brain and is thought to play an important role in normal brain development and function.
Are the fish oils used in the Weil Omega 3 Supplements pure and free of contaminants such as mercury and PCB's?
Weil Omega 3 Complex is derived from molecularly distilled fish oil that is independently tested to be guaranteed free of heavy metals (mercury and lead) and other contaminants including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).
"We should be eating more omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are necessary for optimum health. They are called "essential fatty acids" because they can't be manufactured by the body and must be obtained from the diet or from supplements."
Andrew Weil, M.D.
