Did you know that omega-3’s can be beneficial for your heart? They may promote heart health by reducing inflammation, lowering triglycerides, and improving (to a small degree) blood pressure. They come from different fish, crustaceans, some plant-based foods and certain algae. Fatty fish is often recommended but most individuals do not consume enough fish on a weekly basis. If supplementation is needed, here are some criteria to consider -

Dosage: 400-800 mg/day
- EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid); beneficial for inflammation and also effective for treating high triglycerides levels, especially high-dose prescription-based types.
