For over 20 years scientists have been focusing of the possible health promoting properties of omega 3 fatty's acids. So far there is substantial scientific evidence to show that omega-3 fatty acids support the following areas of human health:

Kidneys  Immune System  Joint Movement  Strength and Stamina  Brain  

Heart  Maintaining Cholesterol Levels that are already within the normal range.

Balanced Mood and Sense of Well Being*
