Do you suffer from an Omega 3 deficiency or simply wish to regain a good heart and brain balance? Follow a course of food supplements based on Omega 3 and stay healthy! We will tell you all the secrets of this essential fatty acid.
The benefits of taking food supplements rich in Omega 3
According to the CNIB 2 study, the majority of French people are deficient in omega 3. This is primarily due to the body's inability to produce enough omega-3s, so including omega-3s in the diet is the only solution. However, many people do not always have the reflex to vary their diet and fill up with nutrients. Moreover, the omega 3 content of foodstuffs is not always sufficient to make up for these deficiencies.
It is in this context that taking an Omega 3 dietary supplement proves to be a good alternative. Dietary supplementation will indeed make it possible to regulate the rate of nutrients consumed, and thus promote better functioning of the body.
Dietary supplements can take several forms, but those based on Omega 3 generally come in fish oil capsules. The Lescuyer laboratory also offers products rich in essential fatty acids, including Omega 3 for a brain and a healthy cardiovascular system.
What foods should I eat to fill up with Omega 3?
