Description

Heaven & Earth's Ultra Omega-3 offers a pure blend of omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Omega 3 EPA and DHA are precursors to beneficial prostaglandins (hormone-like regulatory compounds). Research suggests that EPA and DHA supplementation can support children's health and lower the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, inflammation, obesity, certain cancers and mood disorders.

Omega 3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA are found in fatty fish such as salmon, tuna and sardines. Research suggests that EPA/DHA supplementation can support children's health. One placebo-controlled study, published in the Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics, found that fish oil can improve ADHD (attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder) in children.

Another study suggests that EPA/DHA supplementation may help protect vision in premature babies. Premature babies have an increased risk for developing retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), in which blood leaking from abnormal vessels damage the eye's retina. The researchers found that feeding a high omega-3 diet to mice with damaged retinas lowered the risk of ROP by 50 percent.
