The body requires all kinds of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins for optimum health. And in the Standard American Diet (SAD), none are more deficient than Omega-3 fatty acids.
An array of critical bodily processes are dependent on these fats for proper function, particularly in the immune system and brain.
When it comes to eating healthy fats and oils, most people don't realize that the ratio of the right kinds of fats is really important.
Most experts agree that a ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 of Omega-6 to Omega-3 is ideal, but the average American intake is more like 20:1 – over ten times more than needed.
Unfortunately, many of our sources for healthy Omega-3s are poor, degraded by modern food manufacturing processes, by our polluted environment, and by the lack of choices available in restaurants and grocery stores. Unless you're paying vigilant attention to your dietary fat intake, you're probably out of balance.
You probably need more Omega-3s.
This is where supplementation can make all the difference.
At BodyHealth, we've put together the most advanced, high-quality Omega-3 supplement available to optimize your brain health: Omega-3 Health.
A: Most instances of fish-burp come from taking too high a dose too soon. Omega 3 Health addresses this problem by using a time-release enteric coating that dissolves in the small intestine instead of the stomach, reducing the possibility of unpleasant burping. We also recommend taking Omega 3 Health with a meal.
A: The recommended dose of Omega 3 Health is two gel capsules per day with a meal.
A: We add astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant to protect the fish oil from oxidation, and improve shelf life. This same chemical is responsible for the pink color of salmon and crab.
A: Plant-based sources of Omega 3s like flax and chia seeds mostly contain a fatty acid called ALA. The beneficial effects of Omega 3s come primarily from EPA and DHA (found mostly in fish oil). Herbivores that eat grasses are very good at converting ALA to DHA, but for us humans, it requires a tremendous amount of biochemical processing for your body to convert ALA into DHA, so the benefit gained from plant-based sources is relatively low.
A: The most important thing to look for in a fish oil supplement is the ingredients' purity and quality. Make sure there are no added ingredients like soy, sweeteners, or other filler oils. Also, check the total amount of EPA and DHA per serving.
Our Omega 3 Health supplement is of the highest purity and quality, with specially added formulations to improve potency and shelf life.
A: There are very few adverse side effects of fish oil. It does thin the blood, so those with blood coagulation issues should consult a doctor before taking fish oil. At higher doses, it can cause loose or oily bowel movements.
A: Heavy metals accumulate in species high in the food chain, like swordfish and tuna, and tend to affect warm water fish more than cold-water fish. Our fish oil comes from sardines and anchovies in the Arctic ocean. These fish are relatively low in the food chain and live in a cleaner, colder ecosystem.
In addition to the purity of our sourcing, we also process our oil with a patented process to remove any detectable heavy metal contamination.
A: At BodyHealth, we are committed to holistic health and ecological integrity. We source all our fish oil from sustainably harvested sardines, anchovies, mackerel, and herring. These fish exist in huge schools, and the fisheries are very robust, so harvesting doesn't negatively impact the native ecology.
A: Our diets are already oversaturated with Omega 6 fatty acids, and there is little research backing up the benefits of Omega 9 fatty acids. The most significant benefit from a fatty acid supplement is from Omega-3's, and specifically EPA and DHA.

Omega 3 Health™ utilizes a proprietary purification process that guarantees purity and potency. Omega-3 Health contains no GMOs, gluten, wheat, dairy, yeast, psyllium, fillers, artificial flavors, colors, MSG, or yeast derivatives.
Omega 3 Health is hypo-allergenic, low glycemic, and contains NO artificial additives, preservatives, colors, or sweeteners.
Sourcing is often an overlooked issue in supplements, but with Omega-3s, it is every bit as important as the oils themselves. "Fish Oil" really only means oil derived from fish. But there are many kinds of fish out there, and not all of them are rich in Omega-3s like DHA and EPA.
The best sources are cold-water fatty fish (the cold water increases their oil content) like salmon, herring, white fish, sardines, and anchovies.
And then there are the ecological factors. Many fish, especially those higher up in the food chain, have toxic levels of heavy metals like mercury, lead, and cadmium that destroy your health.
Some fisheries, like tuna and Atlantic cod, are so over-fished they are near the brink of collapse. Irresponsible fishing practices have destroyed the fishery and are having dramatic consequences on the ecology.
Do you know where your Fish Oil is coming from?
Here at BodyHealth, we are committed to holistic health and ecological integrity. We source all our fish oil from sustainably harvested sardines, anchovies, mackerel, and herring. The cold Icelandic water ensures the highest Omega-3 oil content, and these fish are lower on the food chain, so they don't accumulate heavy metals like many other species. Further, these fish exist in huge schools, and the fisheries are robust, so harvesting doesn't negatively impact the native ecology.
We've done the research, and this is the best possible source available for DHA- and EPA-rich fish oil that doesn't harm our oceans.
We even use a proprietary processing method to ensure environmental toxins and other contaminants are completely removed, leaving you with just the purest fish oil available, rich in DHA and EPA, the two Omega-3s with the broadest range of health benefits.
At Body Health, our mission is to bring you the highest quality and purity ingredients for your optimal health and vitality.
When we created Omega-3 Health, we wanted to create the highest quality Omega-3 supplement to ensure our customers had a reliable source to get the very best for their health.
We took the highest quality fish oil in the world and added our Turmeric, Boswellia & Ginger blend to create a next-level synergy.
Omega-3 Health is much more than just fish oil.
If you are working to maximize your performance and recovery, this is the ultimate Omega-3 supplement for you.
