Health & Fitness

Thu, Mar 05, 2009

Fat is necessary for life but unfortunately many of us consume the wrong types of fat. Our intake of different fats has changed markedly during the last century. We eat far more saturated fats and vegetable oils which contain omega-6 fatty acids, whereas our intake of fatty fish oils (omega-3) has decreased by 80 per cent during the last 80 years. We eat much less fish today, so most of us suffer from a deficiency of omega-3 fatty oils.

Many people are realising that they and their families need more than a multivitamin to support their health and achieve optimum well-being. Independent research is demonstrating time and time again the value of essential fatty acids found in omega-3 fish oils. The Eskimo range has been meticulously researched and formulated to provide you with incredibly pure omega-3 fish oils to support you and your family’s health requirements.
