Are you stressed about going back to school?

Well-known for their anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular-protective roles, omega-3s have many other health benefits. They are also good allies for calming an agitated nervous system and improving cognitive functions.

In this back-to-school period, when concentration and stress management are essential, a daily intake of DHA can be particularly beneficial. DHA helps reduce excess noradrenalin, a neurotransmitter involved in stress and hypervigilance. In addition, DHA improves concentration and memory capacity, as well as BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), which ensures the growth and differentiation of neurons and synapses.

DHA also boosts growing children's IQ, reading speed and spelling ability, all of which are invaluable for getting the school year off to a good start.

Finally, EPA influences mood by blocking arachidonic acid production and systemic inflammation.

Omega 3 in perfect concentrations

However, the Nature's way omega ranges provide you with good concentrations of EPA and DHA from wild fish caught in cold water. They are attached to triglycerides like our own fatty acids to facilitate their assimilation. They are available in liquid or capsule form without a fishy aftertaste. To prevent their oxidation, several antioxidants, including rosemary and green tea extract, have been added.

The NutraSea range offers concentrations between 1,200 and 2,000 mg total EPA/DHA. Some are higher in DHA or EPA. Choose according to your needs.

For vegans…

The NutraVege range is the only one in store to offer vegan omegas of up to 600 mg of DHA and 400 mg of EPA. With their flavors of lemon, strawberry, mango, grapefruit and even apple, there is something for everyone.

A healthy and ecological choice

Finally, NutraSea omegas are Friend of the Sea certified for their sustainable fishing. Additionally, the company donates 1% of their profits to environmental causes. For a safe and eco-responsible choice, Nutra Sea and Nutra Végé omegas from Nature's way are to be prioritized!

Caution

It is important to consult your doctor before use if you are prescribed an anti-platelet or blood thinner.
