Support your wellbeing with omega-3 supplements

At Healthylife, we understand the importance of maintaining overall health and wellness. To help you do this, we’ve handpicked a selection of omega-3 supplements, including capsules, liquids and gummies, to support your health goals and fit with your daily routine. 

What is omega-3?

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential fats that play a key role in maintaining overall health. Studies suggest that sufficient intake of fatty acids may offer numerous benefits, including supporting brain health and cognition, mental wellbeing as well as the nervous and cardiovascular systems.

Are there benefits to taking omega-3 supplements?

Taking omega-3 supplements may have several benefits. The body cannot naturally produce omega-3 fatty acids, so a supplement may be beneficial if you’re not getting enough through your diet. 

Omega-3 oil, commonly found in fish oil supplements, contains EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Studies show that omega-3s may support heart health, joint health, cognitive function, and eye and skin health.

Are there side effects to taking omega-3 supplements?

While omega-3 supplements are generally safe for most people, some individuals may experience mild side effects. Side effects of omega-3 supplements may include an unpleasant taste, bad breath, sweating, headaches and gastrointestinal symptoms. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your personal health needs.

How often should you take omega-3 supplements?

The frequency and dosage of omega-3 supplements can vary based on your personal health needs and dietary intake. Generally, a daily dose of omega-3 supplements is recommended to help maintain adequate levels of EPA and DHA in the body. Always read the label and follow the directions for use. It’s also recommended to consult with your healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regime.
