Why is Omega-3 Fish Oil
a Health Essential?

Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) are crucial for overall health and disease prevention, but they must be supplied by food and/or supplements as the human body can't produce them. Two of the most important EFAs-found abundantly in fish oil-are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DPA). EPA and DHA are especially important for fetal brain development, as well as optimal cardiovascular health, diabetes and Alzheimer's prevention, proper brain function, and general wellness for infants, children, men, women, and seniors.

Fish Oil - A Vital Health Ally

According to a wealth of scientific studies spanning the last few decades, DHA/EPA rich fish oil is a proven ally, both in promoting optimal health in people of all ages, and in helping to prevent numerous disease states. For example:

Note: The following comparison chart addresses the cost of EPA/DHA rich omega-3 fatty acids per gram. While some reviewed products offer ingredients apart from EFAs that may yield health benefits, the cost of long chain omega-3s is the sole calculation for our purposes here.

Benefits of Omega-3 Fish Oil

They say good things come in small packages, but few things exemplify this like fish oil
capsules. The list of benefits offered by this extraordinary fat-from boosting immune
health, to minimizing symptoms of depression, to helping curtail obesity, to promoting a
healthy heart-are more than impressive.

Research suggests that fish oil can help expectant mothers, infants and toddlers by paving
the way for healthy brain development, learning, and language ability. Omega-3 rich fish
oil may also help prevent learning challenges, such as ADHD. In fact, deficiencies and
imbalances of these crucial fats-not only during the developmental phase, but throughout
the human life span-have significant effects on brain function.

Omega-3 EFAs play a central role in the normal development and functioning of the brain and central nervous system. Long-chain fatty acids-such as DHA/EPA-are involved in numerous neuronal processes, from maintaining healthy cell membrane fluidity to gene expression regulation.

Research suggests that DHA/EPA rich fish oil is especially important for children and expectant mothers, as omega-3 EFAs support healthy brain development, learning and language skills. Deficiencies and imbalances of these nutrients, on the other hand-not only during early developmental phases, but throughout the entire life span-can impair healthy brain function.

For example, neurocognitive disorders like attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, dyspraxia and autism spectrum disorders are often associated with a relative lack of omega-3 fatty acids.23

Additionally, omega-3 EFAs found in fish oil are regarded as nutraceuticals in anti-aging medicine-a term referring to foods with health or medical effects-given their beneficial influence on digestive and immune systems, and their ability to improve inflammatory and degenerative processes in the body.24

Although we present only a sampling of the many research studies attesting to the vast array of health benefits fish oil provides, the message is clear. Daily supplementation with 1-3 grams of high-quality fish oil is one of the smartest health decisions we can make.

Why Are Omega-3 EFAs Essential to Your Health and Well-Being?

While some dietary fats get a bad rap - given that they factor into a variety of health problems - other fats are not only beneficial, they're literally essential. Omega-3 EFAs are a case in point, with EPA and DHA being especially important. The problem is, our bodies can't manufacture these crucial fats as needed, they must be consumed through food and/or fish oil capsules.

While you can obtain sufficient levels of DHA/EPA from your diet alone, to net at least one gram per day-the equivalent of one EnergyFirst OmegaEnergy™ fish oil capsule-you would need to eat 3 to 4 ounces of prime sources such as salmon, mackerel, herring or sardines. However, not many Americans consume fish on a regular basis, either due to cost, preference, or availability. This is a big reason why we as a nation tend to be deficient in these important EFAs.

Many people prefer to supplement OmegaEnergy™ fish oil capsules not only because they offer a convenient, cost-effective way to obtain the plethora of health benefits these EFAs offer, but also to avoid the dangerous toxins, PCBs, and heavy metals increasingly present in many types of fish-especially shark, swordfish, Albacore tuna, tilefish and king mackerel.

Why not cover your bases every day with safe, molecularly-distilled, pharmaceutical grade fish oil capsules, while also enjoying fresh, clean, sustainable seafood as a bonus when you have access to it?
