Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients, meaning your body can't produce them—you must obtain them through diet. Maintaining a healthy balance of saturated and unsaturated fats (ideally a 50/50 ratio) is crucial for overall health. Modern diets often fall short, with an over-reliance on saturated fats and cholesterol.
Unlike other dietary fats primarily used for energy, Omega-3s are structural components of cell membranes, playing a vital role in numerous bodily functions. Nutrilite's Omega-3 Complex is ideal for adults and children (14+) whose diets include fish and Omega-3 rich plant oils less than 1-2 times per week. It's also beneficial for individuals on low-fat diets (where Omega-3 intake can be severely limited), those relying solely on sunflower oil, and athletes undergoing intense training.
This complex contains the optimal ratio of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), crucial Omega-3 fatty acids. Just one Nutrilite Omega-3 Complex capsule provides the same amount of EPA and DHA as approximately 28 grams of salmon, tuna, or sardines.
While various foods contain Omega-3s, significant amounts are primarily found in cold-water fatty fish (tuna, sardines, salmon, mackerel, herring). EPA and DHA constitute over 25% of the total fatty acids in fish oil. Fish oil uniquely provides long-chain Omega-3 PUFAs not found in most plant oils. Other sources include flaxseed, rapeseed, and soybean oils, as well as egg yolks. However, consistent daily intake of these foods is necessary to meet your Omega-3 needs; consuming fish less than twice a week often results in a deficiency.
