Best Fish OilBest Fish OilBest Fish Oil Supplements, EPA, DHA, and ALA: Does Your Omega-3 Source Matter? As far as the scientists go, there is controversy over the three different kinds of omega 3 and their sources. Vegetarians will look to get the omega 3 from plant sources, those of us who are not vegetarians will look to fish and/or supplements. I however, do not want to read through a lot of scientific wrangling about long chain and longer chain omega 3, omega 6, or walnut vs spinach as my source. That makes my head hurt. I want to insure my brain and heart health with a product that helps me keep my head on straight so I can parent and and stay functional for my family. I do not care to prepare fish at home, because of the smell, and I am not interested in having to deal with giving my small children mercury poisoning, so our omega 3 comes from supplements. (My children are suspicious of foods that I prepare that might include a sprinkling of flax seed, and I cannot get them to eat walnuts regularly and spinach unless well disguised is out of the question, so to keep my brain orderly, I will give them a supplement). According to my reading of recent articles, when looking for a supplement, make sure the long-chain omega-3s are in your supplements. Check the label for a 3-to-2 ratio—of either 3 parts EPA to 2 parts DHA or vice-versa (the research suggests that either ratio produces heart and brain benefits) Best Fish Oil InformationBrainfit for Life is my primary source for information on omega 3 and brain health, and my choice for supplements is xtend-life Omega 3 Why would I choose xtend-life Omega 3 over an over the counter brand? Good question. I can go to the xtend-life site and look at some numbers in regards to refinement.I cannot do that with the OTC product at my local drug store. Just recently in my home town, Rockford, Illinois, a number of folks were made sick when they bought some cheese from street vendors which had been made with listeria included. I want to double check what the company says about their refining process and I can do that with xtend-life. Plus the company is from New Zealand which is an area of the world I love.

Would You Share Something That You Are Grateful For?
When I was beginning my personal growth journey, a wise person told me that when I was feeling resentful or afraid or sad, that I should remember the phrase "gratitude is the attitude" when I was ready to feel better. That phrase has helped me feel better tens of thousands of times. |
