Test, Don't Guess – Get Your Omega-3 Index Score!
Nearly three out of every four people in the United States take nutritional supplements. But with so many to choose from, how do you know what to take, or if they’re even working at all? Are you really as healthy as you think? Worldwide, omega-3s are one of the most popular supplements. Despite this, 90% of people in the United States are still below the desirable range. And of the 7.8% of adults who do take them, research has shown that 70% of them are still deficient.
Are You Getting Enough Omega-3s? 9 out of 10 Americans are out of balance. Our modern diet is low in essential nutrients, with too many Omega-6s and not enough Omega-3s, potentially contributing to decreased levels of longevity.
