Brain food... for real!

Did your mother ever get you to swallow cod liver oil as a kid, saying that "the worse it tastes, the better it is for you"? That stuff was vile, both in smell as well as in taste. Ironically, it turns out, she was right about one thing: it was good for you. Certain fish sourced oils are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and adding these to your diet is sure to improve your overall health, especially your heart and brain health.

Omega-3 essential fatty acids are vital to long-term health, but because your body can’t make them on its own, you must get them through the foods you eat. At one time this was fairly easy, but in this day of commercial farming and grain-fed livestock, omega-3s are no longer plentiful in our common foods. Certain species of fish are good sources of omega-3s, but contaminants and pollution in our oceans and water-ways can make getting them in this way a bit risky.

Essential Source Omega-3 features a proprietary, two-step molecular distillation process ensuring ultra-purity. Mannatech’s Essential Source Omega-3 surpasses quality and purity standards for fish oil supplements adopted by the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), the Global Organization for EPA and DHA (GOED), and the U.S. Pharmacopeia. A serving of Mannatech’s Essential Source Omega-3 provides 1110 milligrams of EPA and DHA and provides the following health benefits: helps support cardiovascular and heart health; provides support for healthy triglyceride levels already within normal levels; helps maintain healthy blood lipid levels; helps support healthy blood platelet function; and helps support brain function and health.*

You'll also be happy to know that this product has virtually no fishy aftertaste and is, instead, imbued with a pleasant lemony citrus flavour to avoid any kind of reflux. It's also highly recommended for pregnant or nursing mums to ensure your baby the maximum benefit during early development.
