Omega-3 

Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids. They are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body.  However, one of the best possible ways to obtain omega-3 fatty acids is by taking CHF #43 Omega-3.  Also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development.

The American Heart Association recommends eating fish (particularly fatty fish such as mackerel, lake trout, herring, sardines, albacore tuna, and salmon) at least 2 times a week.  CHF #43 Omega-3 may help reduce inflammation and  may also help prevent risk factors associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.  These essential fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function.  Symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency include extreme tiredness (fatigue), poor memory, dry skin, heart problems, mood swings or depression, and poor circulation.

William S. Harris of the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota   wrote in an article in the Oxford Journals, “Cardiac societies recommend the intake of 1 g/day of the two omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) for cardiovascular disease prevention, treatment after a myocardial infarction, prevention of sudden death, and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. These recommendations are based on a body of scientific evidence that encompasses literally thousands of publications. Of four large scale intervention studies three also support the recommendations of these cardiac societies.”
