Are you EFA-savvy? Omega-3 science is rather complex, but most interested individuals recognize the big players, EPA and DHA, present in marine oils. And while most fish oils provide more EPA than DHA, the evidence now shows that DHA is actually the body's preferred omega-3. Swanson has you covered with our Super DHA 500 omega-3 supplement featuring Calamarine® Marine Oil. Swanson Super DHA is the next generation, eco-friendly and sustainable omega-3 supplement that offers more DHA than any other marine source.
Because omega-3 fatty acids cannot be synthesized in the body, their importance in the diet cannot be overlooked. Calamarine differs from other marine oils in that it is a refined omega-3 supplement with a naturally greater ratio of DHA to EPA. CalaMarine the highly-purified, refined calamari or squid oil in our Super DHA 500 supplement, contains higher levels of the essential fatty acid DHA than most omega-3 other ingredients.
Research has shown that adding EPA and DHA to the diet of pregnant women has a positive effect on visual and cognitive development of the baby. Exciting recent developments demonstrate that the quality of maternal nutrient supply during the period of rapid early brain development in pregnancy has a lasting impact on later brain function at school age. Omega-3 fatty acids also have positive effects on the pregnancy itself.
