Americans have a fat deficiency. It sounds crazy, right? But it's true — the average American diet is lacking certain types of healthy fats. Not the type we get from fast food — but Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids. Our bodies need them to maintain healthy cell membranes, and they can't produce them on their own.
We normally get Omega 3s by eating fish (recommended 2 servings per week), or certain fruits and vegetables (5 servings per day). But few Americans get anywhere near what they need - and this deficiency may be dangerous.
Researched Omega 3 benefits include:
- Stronger heart and immune system
- Better skin and hair
- Brain and memory benefits
- Mood and behavior improvements
- Improved eye health
- Cellular membrane support
The first Omega 3 benefits were initially identified in 1970 by scientists studying the Inuit in Greenland. Their research pointed to large amounts of these essential fatty acids in a diet consisting almost entirely of high-fat fish as a possible reason why less than 5% of the population suffered from heart disease. Compare that to America today, where most diets lack the Omega 3 benefits and heart disease is the leading cause of death.
Since that initial study, over 14,000 research papers have been published on the many health benefits of Omega 3 and 6. Many of the Omega 3 benefits found in these studies are listed near the top of this page.
The American Heart Association recommends about 1 gram of Omega 3 per day for individuals with a history of CHD, and 2-4 grams for those who need to lower Triglyceride levels.
Immuno-Viva® Core is a great source of Omega 3, providing 1.4 grams per serving. And because it combines Omega 3 with powerful lipid soluble antioxidants, it provides even better cellular support. Click here to see for yourself, or click "Next" to learn the Immuno-Viva origin story. *
