Tuna Omega-3 Oil
Introduced in 2005
Tuna Omega-3 Oil helps bridge the gap in dietary omega-3 intake and supports the body's natural inflammatory response function.*Tuna Omega-3 Oil contains a non-concentrated, natural profile of tuna oil that is rigorously tested to be below regulatory standards for contaminates and toxins. Along with supporting general health, it also:
- Supports cognition
- Supports skin and hair health
- Supports emotional balance*
- Contains DHA, which is important for proper fetal eye and brain development
Does Tuna Omega-3 Oil support a healthy heart?
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) support normal lipid profiles already within a normal range. Supportive but not conclusive research has shown that EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.*
