Omega-3 is an essential supplement.<\/h2>\n

At our office, we\u2019re often asked: \u201cWhich supplements should I be taking?\u201d<\/h3>\n

Well, everyone is different, so we really need to look at your particular needs but Omega-3 supplement would be, for most, at the top of the list.<\/p>\n

Why? Because our body doesn’t make it and it’s crucial to our well-being. I mean, it does so many good things, from helping your immune system, to your inflammation, to mood, brain development, hormone balancing and more (see our full list of why Omega-3 is so important below.) And don’t forget your children, it is essential for them.<\/p>\n

\"omega3<\/a><\/p>\n

Food Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your best source of Omega-3 from your food is fish like: sardines, salmon, trout etc. But in reality, this isn’t something many of us incorporate daily into our diet, and when we do, we need to be careful of poorly sourced, potentially toxic fish.<\/p>\n

You can also go to your leafy green veggies, avocados, nuts, seeds and veggie oils. But still, even then, it\u2019s very likely you aren’t getting enough.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Omega-3 is part of our top picks in supplements to recommend.<\/p>\n

Not all supplements are created equal.<\/h3>\n

So we need to be really, really<\/em> picky in choosing the right supplement for our bodies.<\/p>\n

You see, the best source of Omega-3 is from our oceans, which aren’t always in the cleanest state. You want to make sure your brand\/provider of Omega-3 runs test for pesticides, heavy metals, markers of PCB, dioxins and furans and dioxin-like PCB, for rancidity and consistent dosing.<\/p>\n

Also, check that each batch is tested by independent labs.<\/h3>\n

That is hugely important. (There\u2019s a lot that goes on beyond the scenes that marks the difference between good and bad supplement brands. It\u2019s much more than packaging and price point!) You don’t want to take a supplement which could cause you harm because of the way it is prepared \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

At Awakening Potentials<\/a> we mainly use the Metagenics Omega-3 products, because of their purity, their many choices to fulfill different needs, and their involvement in the Vitamin Angels program<\/a>. Metagenics donates most of the money from the sale of their fish oil to this organization helping create better health for our world.<\/p>\n

Curious about your own omega-3 levels? And which supplement would be best for you? Here\u2019s a little bit of practical fun: have your omega-3 levels tested through this lab. Check it out: http:\/\/omegaquant.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

So, that\u2019s one of our top picks for supplements. Be proactive by eating the right food and taking the supplement for you. If you need help deciding on the right supplement, we are here to help you.<\/p>\n
