Faded silhouettes and question marks

Statistics Canada reports…

Only 3% of the population obtains enough omega‑3 through diet and supplementation to protect against cardiovascular disease.

54% are at intermediate risk of cardiovascular disease.

43% are deficient, placing them at a higher risk of cardiovascular issues.

Our bodies cannot make omega-3 on its own, yet it is critical to our health.
How much do we need?

Guidelines from Naturopathic Doctors,
Based on Clinical Studies
Age Group / Description Omega‑3s per day
Children 1‑12 300‑1,500 mg
Adolescents 13‑17 300‑2,000 mg
Adults 18+ 500‑2,500 mg
Adults 19+ w/ cardiovascular issues 1,000‑5,000 mg
Adults 19+ with low mood 1,000‑5,000 mg High EPA
Adults 19+ w/ inflammatory condit. 2,800‑5,000 mg High EPA
Adults 40+ for cognitive function 1,500‑5,000 mg

What's the ideal omega‑3 daily intake for me?

A general guideline recommended by health organizations is to consume at least two servings of fatty fish per week. Each serving is typically around 3.5 oz or about 100 g. This provides an average of 500 to 1,000 mg of combined EPA and DHA, the two main types of omega‑3s with significant health benefits.

How to optimize your omega intake:

To optimize your omega intake, include fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines in your diet, as they are rich sources of omega‑3 fatty acids. Incorporate plant-based options like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. Consider using oils like flaxseed oil or algae oil. Aim for a balanced ratio of omega‑3 to omega-6 fatty acids (1:2) by minimizing processed foods and cooking with healthier oils like olive oil. If dietary sources are insufficient, consider adding a supplement.

Navigating Omega‑3 Supplementation in Different Diets

The Standard American Diet
Overloaded with unhealthy fats, changing dietary habits can be difficult. Adding an extra omega‑3 supplement is an easy way to help improve inflammation.

The Mediterranean Diet
Credited by many as a key to longevity, it has its challenges. Larger fish may contain increased amounts of various toxins, including mercury. Adding an omega‑3 supplement that is laboratory-tested for purity, potency, and safety from heavy-metal contamination can help you achieve your health goals.

The Vegetarian or Vegan Diet
Due to low conversion of ALA to EPA/DHA, it is critical to consume omega‑3‑rich foods such as flax, walnuts, and chia. Supplementing with plant-sourced omega‑3s can help reach adequate levels for better health.

The difference between
omega-3, -6, -7, and -9:

Omega-3s: Primarily found in fatty fish, flaxseed, and walnuts. Support heart health, brain function, and mood balance; reduce inflammation.

Omega-6s: Prevalent in seeds and vegetable oils, are essential but need to be balanced with omega-3s to prevent inflammation. Support skin health, women's hormonal balance, and heart health.

Omega-7s: Found in macadamia nuts and sea buckthorn oil. Contribute to cardiovascular health, mucous membrane support (digestive and respiratory), and skin health.

Omega-9s: Abundant in olive oil and avocados, promote heart health, support good cholesterol, and may have a role in blood pressure. Can be produced by the body.

Product Safety Testing

We understand the concern over contaminants. We screen our entire selection of omegas for heavy metals, pesticides, PCBs, mycotoxins, microbial contaminants, and more. Presence of these toxins—especially heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic—is tested for in our industry-leading, ISO 17025‑accredited laboratory to meet or exceed Health Canada guidelines. Due to recent questionable practices, we have also started testing our fish oils for radiation.
