Nowadays, even children know that we all should get some Omega-3, but studies show that most of us are getting far less than the recommended amount. There are many foods that contain Omega-3 like orange juice or eggs. But, there are four different kinds of this essential fatty acid! The two most important forms of Omega-3 are DHA and EPA, which come from fish oil.

From my point of view, the best Omega 3 supplements are:

• Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA with Sesame Lignans & Olive Fruit Extract from Life Extensions (60 Softgels)
• Omega 3 Mood Dietary Supplement from Country Life (90 Softgels)
• Omega 3 Fish Body Oils Dietary Supplement from Country Life (200 Softgels)

The latest Omega 3 supplement that I find amazing is o3mega + grow. It does everything any Omega-3 supplement would do. Plus, it also increases skin’s moisture, firmness and ton. It even promises to reduce the appearance of fine lines and reduce sun damage.

Stay healthy,

Mary.

What are the Probiotics? Probiotics are living microorganisms that make your intestinal environment better.

Where do they come from? Probiotic microorganisms can be found in both supplement form and as components of foods and beverages. Certain yogurts and some other cultured dairy products contain probiotics.

What are the Prebiotics? Prebiotics are non-digestive food that enhances the intestinal levels of probiotics.

Where do they come from? Prebiotics mostly come from carbohydrate fibers. These kinds of fibers are non-digestive. They remain in the digestive tract and feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut. Sources of such fibers include fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.

If you want to take probiotics and prebiotics in the supplement form, try mixes. Sometimes you can find products where prebiotics are mixed with the probiotics. It is then called symbiotic formula. This type of formula promises that probiotics that you take this way survive longer in your intestines and do lots of good for you. Sometimes symbiotic formula is mixed with enzymes. One of such products is Rainbow Light’s Advanced Enzyme Optima w/ Prebiotics & Probiotics 90 vcaps.
