Omega 3 Fatty AcidsNourishing fats & oils have many important nourishing affects in the body including supporting proper inflammatory response, ensuring fat soluble nutrient absorption, keeping blood lipids in balance, reducing pain signaling and more.

Omega 3’s are commonly low in the US as we have lower levels of omega 3 rich foods like wild caught fish, flax and walnuts.
