Today’s nutritionists may very well advise you a fish a day would be healthier than the apple grandma suggested. Why? There is more and more research coming out on the subject of the benefits of omega-3 fish fats every day. The stunning body of research around fish oils is incessantly increasing and has been very well received by a good number nutrition gurus. The research surrounding omega-3’s encompasses studies ranging from the effects of the nutrient on cardio health to cognitive function, to almost every other function in the body.

For the usually strong population Omega-3’s play a critical role in supporting cardiovascular wellbeing, blood sugar metabolism and strong brain function. For women who are thinking about having a child, are pregnant or breastfeeding Omega-3’s are solidly suggested for their support in the development of the child’s brain, retinas and central nervous system. There are also novel reports suggesting a link between a decrease in certain types of food allergies and infant eczema. Now many researchers consider that mother’s ought to be taking Omega-3’s well before getting pregnant, as the fetus appears to be getting a good deal of the DHA in particular, from the mother’s tissue stores. Omega-3’s are also important for the bodies of moms-to-be because Omega-3’s are thought to reduce the chance of preeclampsia, preterm labor and post partum depression.

Consequently, if you are already eating a good quality and well balanced diet, consider adding wild caught salmon as a staple, or a good quality omega-3 dietary supplement. You will want to look for products that contain both EPA and DHA with a bare minimum daily dose of 1000mg combined. Also note that EPA and DHA can be found in flax seed and DHA can be found from algal sources for those interested in keeping a vegan diet.

There is one more thing to consider when picking the proper Omega-3 product for you. The dosage form! Normally fish oil omegas are found in large soft gelatin capsules or a flavored liquid vitamin. It is suggested in both cases to keep the product cool or refrigerated to minimize the chance of “fish burps” (yes, it’s exactly what it sounds like), if you find this to be an issue even with refrigeration, consider taking them prior to bed.

Extra dosage forms include everything from gummy vitamins and soft chew candies to fortified foods and milk
