Tuna Omega-3 Oil, 120 Softgels

Tuna Omega-3 Oil helps bridge the gap in dietary omega-3 intake and supports the body's natural inflammatory response function as it relates to periodic challenges like consumption of high-fat meal or strenuous activity.* Tuna Omega-3 Oil contains a non-concentrated, natural profile of tuna oil that is rigorously tested to be below regulatory standards for contaminates and toxins. Along with supporting general health, it also:

• Supports cognition
• Supports skin and hair health
• Supports emotional balance
• Contains DHA, which is important for proper fetal eye and brain development*

Does Tuna Omega-3 Oil support a healthy heart?
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) support normal lipid profiles already within a normal range. Supportive but not conclusive research has shown that EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.*
