About Omega-3
What is Omega-3?
Omega-3 is short for omega-3 fatty acid, a family of eleven polyunsaturated essential fatty acids needed for optimal performance of the human body. The Omega-3s are good fats needed more than ever to ensure your quality of life.
The major Omega-3s are:
~ Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
~ Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
~ Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
DHA saves lives. DHA is the master omega and is the only Omega-3 that you actually need. That is because the body can readily convert it to EPA and all other Omega-3 forms in just the required amounts.
Used by every cell, tissue and organ in your body, DHA is a primary structural component of the brain, cerebral cortex, skin and retina. This means it is particularly vital for cognitive function, eye, heart and skin health and incredibly important to a baby’s and child’s development.
It is well established that DHA is absolutely essential for proper foetal development and healthy ageing. Numerous studies confirm that everyone, from pregnant women, infants and children, adults to the elderly, can benefit from a regular intake of dietary DHA.
Continued supply of Omega-3 DHA to the body throughout growing years helps to build and establish a strong constitution. This gives the body the ability to deal with changes that occur during our lifespan. As we age even more, our bodies rely on healthy cells to support all systems of the body including the cardiovascular, respiratory and immune systems. In turn, the ageing process is much easier when all systems are functioning well.
DHA does not interfere with medications and it doesn’t thin the blood.
Do I need this?
Yes. And so does just about everyone you know.
~ Because of our lifestyle where consumption of Omega-3 DHA is very inadequate, our wellbeing is at risk.
~ Omega-3 supplementation is a necessity because our bodies cannot produce Omega-3s.
~ Without feeding our cells these fortifying essential fatty acids, we may experience the effects of a compromised health system.

What are the symptoms of Omega-3 DHA Deficiency?
Some of the common signs associated with Omega-3 deficiency are:
- Problematic skin – rashes, eczema, psoriasis, dry, rough skin, including small bumps on back of upper arms
- Dry, lacklustre, lifeless and brittle hair, dandruff
- Soft nails that break and crack easily
- Fatigue, trouble sleeping and poor sleep quality
- Deficits in concentration, attentiveness, memory and focus
megaOmega® is a natural food algae oil that is easy to assimilate and provides a super nutritional solution to Omega-3 deficiency.
If you would like to check your levels of Omega-3 essential fatty acids, testing is available. An Omega-3 Index test can give you a percentage, which is simply a measure of the amount of EPA and DHA in your blood.

Clean and Sustainable
Best source of Omega-3 DHA
megaOmega® algae oil is the purest, cleanest and most potent source of Omega-3 DHA on the planet. In other words, there is no better.
Perfectly balanced by nature, a ratio of approximately 1000mg DHA/10mg EPA per 2ml of oil is found in megaOmega®. High DHA content is what is important as the body can convert DHA to EPA in the right amount as needed.

Better than Fish or Krill oil
Fish oils often need to be molecularly distilled to remove toxins from pollution (PCBs, dioxins, heavy metals and other contaminants).
megaOmega® algae oil (sourced from microalgae) is an organically pure vegan source of Omega-3 and provides a more concentrated DHA form of Omega-3, with 20%+ more DHA than fish oils.

Better than Flax & Hemp seed oil
Plant sourced omegas and most vegan alternatives to fish oil do not support Omega-3 requirements and can overload the body with Omega-6 negating the Omega-3 anti-inflammatory properties.
You cannot eat enough plant-based Omega-3 from flax, hemp or similar foods to achieve healthy levels of DHA and EPA necessary for optimum health. These oils only contain Omega-3 ALA which requires a multi-step conversion process to gain a negligible amount of usable Omega-3.
megaOmega® is the best vegan Omega-3 as it allows your body to put Omega-3 DHA directly to work without any multi-step conversion processes.
Environmentally responsible
megaOmega® lets fish swim free. It’s production does not impact on the world’s fish supply or their food.
Ninety percent of the small fish caught in the world’s oceans each year are processed to make fishmeal and fish oil.
The production of megaOmega® is ethically responsible, environmentally friendly and the most sustainable source of DHA + EPA on earth. We are not taking food from other creatures. It starts clean and ends pure.

Benefits of Omega-3 DHA
Improving Fertility
There’s good news on the fertility front, particularly with the role Omega-3 fatty acids may play in enhancing reproductive potential. Omega-3 DHA has long been known to promote fertility, especially in men. High concentrations of DHA have been found in sperm, suggesting its importance for the function of those cells. Studies have also shown that higher levels of Omega-3s correlate with improved sperm formation, viability and activity.
A diet rich in Omega-3s can also be helpful for female-related fertility issues with studies demonstrating improved egg quality and prolonged reproductive function into an advanced maternal age. Once a woman becomes pregnant, Omega-3s continue to be crucial for the health of both mother and child as DHA/EPA has been shown to positively affect the neurodevelopment and health of the foetus.
Numerous studies have also determined that an adequate intake of Omega-3s can also reduce the risk of early preterm delivery.

Mini People – Babies and Toddlers
DHA is an Omega-3 fatty acid used to improve health in children and influence the development of the brain, eyes and other primary neurological functions. It has a profound influence during the first two years of life and early stages of childhood.
From birth until five years of age, the brain increases by 3.5 times its total mass and it is of critical importance that DHA is consumed in adequate amounts to support the rapid growth in the brain.

Growing Stronger and Smarter
The benefit of Omega-3 DHA supplementation extends beyond the first 12 months of life into early childhood. Omega-3 DHA + EPA is well known for its importance in early brain and visual development. Therefore, it makes sense that key findings in numerous studies with young students showed higher DHA/EPA levels in blood fatty acids were associated with better attentiveness, concentration, reading ability and working memory performance.
Studies have also suggested that Omega-3s may have long-term neurodevelopmental effects that ultimately reduce antisocial and aggressive behavior problems in children.

Clearing ‘Brain Fog’
Forgetfulness, trouble focusing, confusion and an overall reduction in your mental clarity can be frustrating and disruptive to your everyday life.
There is strong evidence affirming Omega-3 DHA & EPA can have a positive effect when addressing memory, attention, mood and mental performance issues. By working to enable healthy blood flow to the brain, DHA + EPA optimises the cell membrane functions of all of the brain’s nerve cells and provides crucial support to the brain’s information processing function.

Keeping Healthy in the Long Term
Compared to the western diet that is chronically deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids, the Japanese diet is rich in Omega-3, obtained from eating a lot of fish. It is suggested that the longevity, and puzzling low rates of heart disease and atherosclerosis of the Japanese people is attributed to their diet.
The impact of Omega-3 DHA + EPA intake can be aligned with quality of life and the physiological changes that come with aging. As we get older, it is more important than ever to make sure we supplement our diet with Omega-3 DHA & EPA to maintain mental clarity and prevent the pathological conditions associated with the aging process.

Performance Enhancing
No other substance has been scientifically studied more than Omega-3s. The necessity of these very important essential fatty acids, and showing how Omega-3 supplementation can boost your athletic performance is well documented.
Some of these ways that Omega-3s can make your workout easier are:
- Improving heart and lung function
- Speeding exercise recovery
- Delaying onset muscle soreness
- Reducing risk of overuse injuries
- Increasing ability to burn fat while exercising
- Improving cognitive function – boosting reaction time
- Increasing neuromuscular function – less muscle fatigue
- Decreasing muscle breakdown and increasing protein synthesis
- Increasing calcium absorption, strengthening bones
Skin, Hair and Beauty
In the world of beauty, we know that diet is a huge component of achieving healthy skin and Omega-3 fatty acids play an integral role in skincare. Essential fatty acids help reduce the body’s production of inflammatory compounds – natural chemicals involved in the ageing process, that affect how healthy the skin looks and feels.
Omega-3s can serve to regulate the skin’s oil production, improve balanced hydration, subdue breakouts and minimise signs of ageing. Omega-3s can also help soften rough, dry skin and have a soothing effect on irritated skin conditions.
Omega-3 DHA in particular is responsible for the health of the cell membrane – acting as a barrier against harmful entities and creating a passageway for nutrients to come in and waste material to exit. A healthy skin membrane influences the cell’s ability to hold moisture, yielding softer, subtler and wrinkle-free skin.
Not only is DHA fantastic for your skin, but also for your hair! A lack of Omega-3s can contribute to dry, brittle hair and scalp irritation so, give your hair a welcome boost with a nourishing dose of these Omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.
