Essential Fatty Acids

Essential fatty acids are indeed essential for healthy living. Deficiencies or unbalanced ratios of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can contribute to a wide range of health problems. To ensure you get enough of these important nutrients, Aviva offers a variety of supplements, some made from marine sources, and others suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

Along with a multivitamin, an omega-3 essential fatty acid product is vital to good health. Omega-3 (DHA, EPA) helps lower triglycerides (improving blood flow and lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease), and also improves cognitive function and mood. The SPMs in fish oil help reduce inflammation and pain from arthritis. Omega-3 EFAs are most effective when taken with Vitamin E to prevent oxidation. Our best supplement is Aviva Professional High-Potency Omega-3, with 990 mg of omega-3 in the ethyl ester form. Also see a selection of products from Carlson Labs.
