DHA and Omega-3s

The Omega-3 Effect by Dr. Bill and Dr. JimOmega-3s are highly unsaturated essential fatty acids that are commonly found in seafood and fish oil supplements. They are called “essential fatty acids” because they are essential for life and health, affecting each of your body’s systems. However, the human body cannot produce them, relying instead on sources from your diet. Sadly, the typical modern diet is dangerously low in omega-3s. For in-depth information about the chemistry and health benefits of omega-3s, check out The Omega-3 Effect by Dr. Bill and Dr. Jim, released Aug 28, 2012.

For omega-3 supplements, the trusted fish oil source we recommend is VitalChoice, and our trusted vegan seaplant source we recommend is Juice Plus Omega Blend.

If you’re unsure if you’re eating enough omega-3s, we recommend measuring your omega-3 index with a one-drop fingerstick blood test available from OmegaQuant.com.
