Omega 3 is one of the most potent anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective nutrients science has confirmed. When consumed regularly, it uplifts the heart, eyes, skin, brain, muscle, and nervous health. It fights against metabolic syndrome factors like insulin resistance and oxidative stress as well. Always consider buying a supplement with omega-3 sourced from green-lipped mussels, which is the most promising source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega 3 from wild-caught fishes are also an acceptable choice, but their omega 3 profile is relatively inferior to the ones of green-lipped mussels.
