CLARION MAX OMEGA FISH OIL CAPS x30

Fish oil is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, including DHA and EPA, which support overall health. Omega-3s help to reduce inflammation and support brain, eye, blood vessel and heart health.1 Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients, meaning they can’t be produced by the body, and therefore need to come from the diet in the form of food or supplements.

You can meet your omega-3 needs through diet by consuming a balanced diet that includes fish, and plant-based sources including walnuts, flaxseed, chia seed, hemp seed and algae. If you do not regularly consume omega-3 containing foods, or if you have elevated levels of triglycerides, high blood pressure, or heart disease, you may benefit from a fish oil supplement.234Additionally, those that are pregnant or breastfeeding have higher omega-3 needs to help support fetal and infant visual and cognitive development, and therefore may benefit from supplementation if unable to meet their increased needs through diet alone.

There are certain things to consider when selecting a fish oil supplement. “Make sure it is third-party tested to ensure it is pure and safe and that it contains what it says on the bottle since fish oil can be contaminated with heavy metals. Make sure it does not contain fillers and that the fish they are using are listed on the bottle,” says Kylie Ivanir, MS, RD of Within Nutrition. If you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, or avoid fish products, consider an omega-3 supplement with EPA and DHA sourced from algae.
