Omega-3 fatty acids from anchovies, sardines, and mackerel contain cannabinoids that reinforce healthy inflammatory responses [1]. Healthy levels of omega fatty acids support cognitive functions such as memory, focus, and motivation, as well as enhanced physical and mental energy, while low omega fatty acid levels are linked to mental fatigue [2, 3].
Fish such as anchovies, sardines, and mackerel are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and promote optimal cholesterol levels by heightening natural antioxidant activity that targets cell damage due to free radicals [3, 4]. Fish oil is also an excellent source of vitamin D that boosts immune system strength, promotes optimal mental performance, strengthens bones and muscles, enhances skin health, and encourages healthy cell growth [3-8]. In addition, fish oil contains vitamin A that supports natural cell rejuvenation [8, 9].
Research has consistently demonstrated the importance of vitamin D3 supplementation for the development and growth of strong muscles and bones as well as enhanced immunity [6].
Heightened brain, heart, immune, and mood health [1-8]; Enhanced overall wellbeing [1-9]
Triglyceride forms of omega-3 fatty acids help target abnormal inflammatory responses, enhance heart health, and also lessen the incidence of cell damage that can lead to abnormal cell growth [4-6]. The triglyceride form is the most natural type and it is easily absorbed. The body cannot produce these types of essential acids on its own.
In addition, omega fatty acids have nerve rejuvenating properties and antioxidant activity that targets invaders that may damage brain cells [7, 8]. Furthermore, fish such as anchovies, sardines, and mackerel are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids that help lower unhealthy triglyceride and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels [5].
The vitamin A and D in fish oil helps boosts the circulation of oxygen and nutrients that promote continuous cell rejuvenation as well as heightened immune system function [7-9]. Furthermore, fish oil contains large amounts of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which are essential fatty acids that boost the health of cell throughout the body (e.g., brain, heart) by targeting harmful invaders that may damage cells [3, 4]. These benefits are attributed to the antioxidant, circulation-enhancing, and inflammatory pathway-influencing properties [2, 3].
Research shows that the combination of omega-3s with D3, which is the most active form of vitamin D, is more beneficial toward enhancing health that supplementation with vitamin D3 alone [6].
