Sure, you’re familiar with Omega-3s, but do you know what they really are?
Omega-3s are good fats—polyunsaturated fats—sourced from fish, nuts, and seeds. The body can’t produce these critical nutrients on its own—and getting the research-recommended daily amounts of omega-3s from diet alone can be challenging! Omegas are essential nutrients everyone needs! These fatty acids are key structural components of our cell membranes—stabilizing and protecting them from damage. This is especially important because cells in multiple systems are still in development. From fetal development to old age, omega-3s are essential at every stage of life for the maintenance of good health!
The three primary omega-3 fatty acids your body needs are ALA, EPA, and DHA. ALA is the only true essential fatty acid since your body can synthesize EPA and DHA from ALA—but the process is not very efficient, and our ability to synthesize EPA and DHA decreases with age and hormone changes.
DHA
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): DHA is important for brain and eye development. In the brain, 97% of omega-3s are DHA—in the
eyes, 60%.
EPA
EPA (eicosatetraenoic acid): may help to support heart health.
Does your diet consist of Omega-3?
DHA and EPA omega-3s can be found in fatty fish, fish oil, algae/seaweed, eggs, and grass-fed beef. But as mentioned above, you may not be receiving enough! Evidence suggests that a beneficial way to consistently receive your daily dose of essential fatty acids for the maintenance of good health is to supplement.
NEWS FLASH: You may need more omega-3!

Why Are Our Omega-3s Different?
Unlike national brand fish oil supplements that use harsh solvents or excessive heat to extract omega-rich oils, Melaleuca omega-3s are molecularly distilled and purified through a patented second-generation extraction process that purifies and molecularly distills using water, without solvents or excessive heat, which could alter the oils. Independent auditors certify them to be free of any toxins or contaminants.
Although some fish oil supplements may list a substantial quantity of fish oil on their label, the actual amounts of DHA and EPA omega-3s may be well below the necessary amounts needed for the supported body systems, cells, and tissues.
