Here’s the truth - you cannot be healthy any longer living in an urban environment without supplements. Yet people are always reluctant to spend more on supplements, and also feel confused by the amount and variety on offer. But I am convinced that alongside vitamin d, anyone not living near the sea and eating fresh seafood needs to take supplementary omega 3.

Its holistic and synergistic function on your health cannot be overstated, and that was confirmed again by the omega expert Dr Bill Harris.

Dr. Harris is an internationally recognized expert on omega-3 fatty acids and how they can benefit patients with heart disease. He obtained his doctorate from the University of Minnesota and did post-doctoral fellowships in Clinical Nutrition and Lipid Metabolism. He is now a Professor in the Department of Medicine in the Sanford School of Medicine at the University of South Dakota and the President and CEO of OmegaQuant.

Dr Harris’s interest in omega-3 fatty acids began with his postdoctoral work when he published his first study on the effects of salmon oil on serum lipids in humans (1980). Since that time he has been the recipient of five NIH grants for studies on the effects of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) on human health.

He has more than 300 publications relating to fatty acids, including omega-3s, in medical literature and was an author on two American Heart Association scientific statements on fatty acids: “Fish Consumption, Fish Oil, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Cardiovascular Disease” (2002), and “Omega-6 Fatty Acids and Risk for Cardiovascular Disease” (2009) both published in the journal Circulation.

What we are even talking about when it comes to fatty acids including PUFAs, omegas and the incredible story of how omega’s lifesaving benefits were discovered.

The potentially life-saving role of omegas in guarding against the four killer horsemen of cancer, metabolic, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease. 

The best way to get omega3 into your body – from what’s to how’s to how much. 

Why even I myself, taking 2 grams a day and eating sardines almost every day, cannot get my omega ratio right!
