Life & Soul Omega-3

Skin Health - Improves Skin Texture, Tone, Firmness & Hydration.

Essential fatty acids are well known for regulating the skin's oil production and improving balanced hydration and fight red, dry, or itchy skin caused by skin disorders like atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Omega-3’s also help protect the skin against sun damage. One study showed that supplementation of 79 females with EPA derived from fish oil for 12 weeks shifted the balance of eicosanoids in the skin toward a less inflammatory species and helped protect the skin from the inflammatory effects of UV exposure.3 Omega-3 fatty acids appear to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation via a number of mechanisms of action. Borage oil (a source of omega-6 GLA) has been shown to improve skin hydration.

The Daily Essential Formula also delivers 15mg of zinc in the form of zinc picolinate which has superior absorption compared to zinc citrate and zinc gluconate according to studies.

The skin has the third highest amount of zinc of the various organs in the body and it plays an important role in overall skin health. It is needed for protein synthesis and wound healing. Low epidermal zinc concentrations have been noted in patients with acne, psoriasis, and dermatitis herpetiformis, despite normal serum zinc levels.

Anti-Inflammatory - Support Healthy Levels of Inflammation

The association between chronic inflammation and chronic disease is widely recognised. Chronic inflammation progresses silently. Most people don't realise they have chronic inflammation until the symptoms of an adverse health issue become apparent.

The good news? There are simple things you can do to lower inflammation in your body and reduce your risk of developing the many diseases and adverse health conditions that accompany it and one of them includes taking a good quality Omega-3 supplement.

Omega-3 fatty acids play a role in regulating the body's inflammatory process and might help regulate pain from inflammation.

They have been known to have potent anti-inflammatory actions in various inflammatory diseases, including psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Eye Health

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), one of the omega-3 essential fatty acids is a major structural lipid of retinal photoreceptor outer segment membranes.

Omega-3 is linked to a reduced risk of macular degeneration, one of the world’s leading causes of permanent eye damage and blindness.

A peer reviewed study published in the Journal of Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science showed that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), one of the omega-3 essential fatty acids, prevented age-related vision loss in lab tests

Brain Health - Maintains Normal Brain Function

The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are essential for normal brain function and development throughout all stages of life.

The fatty acids are also crucial for maintaining normal brain function and are abundant in the cell membranes of brain cells, preserving cell membrane health and facilitating communication between brain cells.

There have also been experimental studies in animals which have shown that diets lacking omega 3 PUFA lead to substantial disturbances in neural function causing them to experience deficits in learning and memory.

Heart Health

Omega 3 has been shown to reduce triglycerides, a type of fat in your blood, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease or poor heart-health related disorders
