Since the human body can’t naturally produce these valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids on its own, it relies on foods that are rich in omega-3s to reap some of the many health benefits, such as:
1. Improved heart health and reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases and stroke
Heart attacks and strokes are the world’s leading causes of death . . A few ways
omega-3s may help improve your heart health include
- Decreasing triglycerides a type of fat in the blood
- Increasing HDL levels, the healthy type of cholesterol
- Lowering blood pressure
2. Decreased inflammation and reduced joint pain and stiffness
Inflammation a natural immune response to injury and infection. Acute inflammation, like swelling or redness after you scrape a knee, is beneficial and helps tissues heal after damage.
Notably,
omega-3 fatty acids can reduce the production of molecules and substances linked to inflammation, such as inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines.
3. Stronger bones and reduced risk of Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis and arthritis are two common disorders that affect your skeletal system.
Studies indicate that omega-3s can improve bone strength by boosting the amount of calcium in your bones, which should lead to a reduced risk of of osteoporosis.
Omega-3s may also treat arthritis. Patients taking omega-3 supplements have reported reduced joint pain and increased grip strength .
4. Protection from certain cancers and cancer cell growth
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the Western world, and omega-3 fatty acids have long been claimed to reduce the risk of certain cancers.
Interestingly, studies show that people who consume the most omega-3s have up to a 55% lower risk of colon cancer.
Additionally, omega-3 consumption is linked to a reduced risk of prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women.
5. Better brain function, memory, and cognitive
A decline in brain function is one of the unavoidable consequences of aging.
Several studies link higher omega-3 intake to decreased age-related mental decline and a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease
6. Can Alleviate Menstrual Pain
Menstrual pain occurs in your lower abdomen and pelvis and often radiates to your lower back and thighs.
It can significantly affect your quality of life.
However, studies repeatedly prove that women who consume the most omega-3s have milder menstrual pain .
7. Can Improve Sleep
Good sleep is one of the foundations of optimal health.
Studies tie sleep deprivation to many diseases, including obesity, diabetes and depression.
Low levels of omega-3 fatty acids are associated with sleep problems in children and obstructive sleep apnea in adults.
Low levels of DHA are also linked to lower levels of the hormone melatonin, which helps you fall asleep.
Studies in both children and adults reveal that supplementing with omega-3 increases the length and quality of sleep.
Our
Omega Blend capsules are sourced from plants and algae which makes them a better alternative to fish oil capsules.
Omega-3’s: Oily fish are often considered the best source of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. These fish provide so much omega-3 because they mainly feed on algae. This is why we “skipped the middle fish” and went straight to algae, the true source of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, for our capsules.
Omegas 3, 5, 6, 7 and 9: We’ve rounded out our blend with additional omega fatty acids from sources such as pomegranate seeds, sea buckthorn berries, raspberry seeds, tomato seeds and safflower seeds. These plant ingredients provide other fatty acids such as
omegas 5, 6, 7 and 9, as well as other omega-3 fatty acids such as ALA.
What makes our Omega Blend different?
Most omega products contain a single omega ingredient, usually
omega-3 and usually from fish oil. Juice Plus+ Omega Blend is a blend of 5 omega fatty acids, all from plants.
Most omega products come in softgel form, which requires heat and oxygen to fill and seal. Heat and oxygen actually cause oils to start degrading. Our vegan capsule shell is sealed without heat, protecting the oils inside. And that bubble you see in each Omega Blend capsule? That's nitrogen, which replaces the oxygen, protecting the oils from degradation again.
So, by harvesting omegas from the original algae source, cold-pressing oils from berries and seeds to maintain purity, and placing them inside a capsule made from plants, eliminating heat and oxygen along the way, we are able to bring you a symphony of omega fatty acids in a clean, vegan, eco-friendly way.
