Product Features

Nutrilite Omega Complex is a combination of two essential Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA and ALA. Omega – 3 fatty acids have been the topic of many research studies during the past years. Their health benefits span from diabetes to various forms of cancer to Alzheimer’s disease, ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder), heart diseases or macular degeneration.
 

DHA is found in high concentrations in the retina and the brain, accounting for up to 97% of the overall Omega-3 fats in the brain and up to 93% of the overall Omega-3 fats in the retina.

Strong scientific evidence has shown Omega 3 DHA is essential to brain development (both pre and post natal) and brain health, to cognitive function and neuro-protection and even in regulation mood and alleviating depression (although insufficient evidence exists in this regard).
 

ALA is most known for its role in cardiovascular health. Certain studies pointed out that adequate dietary consumption of ALA may help reduce heart attack risk and inflammation associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease. All Omega-3 fatty acids have to be taken from food, and cannot be produced by the body. EPA and DHA can however be made from ALA, so it is of utmost importance to ensure proper amounts of ALA. Although a daily dosage is not generally agreed upon, most doctors recommend adult men taking 160 mg of DHA/ EPA daily and 130 mg of ALA. Adult women should take 90 mg of EPA/DHA and 80 mg of ALA daily.
 

Although rare, side effects of ALA and DHA include gastrointestinal disturbances, increased risk of bleeding or flu like symptoms.
 

The manufacturer recommends taking 1 tablet (150 mg DHA and 150 mg ALA) a day. Reviews of the product are hard to find. However, most of them report Nutrilite Omega Complex being a high quality, effective product.
