As early as the time of pregnancy, a baby's brain needs omega 3 fatty acids for its proper development. Fish intake can also help in the development of the brain as it has been known to be a food for the brain. According to scientists, a baby's brain is made up of 70% long chain omega 3 fatty acids like DHA, and around more than 60% can be found in an adults brain as well.

Balanced ratios of DHA and EPA which can be found in 1200mg of pure omega 3 fish oil is highly recommended by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) as a supplement for pregnant and nursing women.

At least 1000 mg of pure omega 3 fish oil is also recommended as a daily supplement by the NIH to other adults. For what reason? Just view these results.

The EPA and DHA found in fish oil is said to be good in preventing inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, bursitis, cystitis and other disorders, according to some clinical tests.

Fish oil does not necessarily cure such conditions, but it can provide safe and natural relief from the condition without harmful side effects.

According to researchers, EPA and DHA helps in regulating blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels. It can help prevent heart diseases naturally. It also helps minimize irregular heartbeats and blood clots which is the number one cause of stroke and can lead to a possible cardiac arrest.

The results of a recent survey has been really devastating as it shows a huge number of around 85% of Americans as having fatty acids deficiency and 98% of pregnant and lactating women getting only less than 18% of the recommended amount by the NIH.

And not only that, there is a big problem in around 20% of the American population, as the two omega 3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA cannot be detected in their blood. They have an extremely low level of DHA and EPA.
