We all kmow that Omega-3s can boost heart health and lower triglycerides. And there are studies showing that omega-3 fatty acids may help with other conditions like Rheumatoid arthritis, depression, asthma and more. Omega-3s are thought to play an important role in reducing inflammation throughout the body -- in the blood vessels, the joints, and elsewhere. That's what I notice when I take this product. I've been taking DEVA algae pills for over a year now and when I forget to take it I feel stiffer, achier. This may sound silly, but it's true. I just start to feel old and creaky. Then I get back on my routine of taking my DEVA algae pills and within a day my joints feel lubricated again. Kind of like how a car engine needs oil to lubricate the parts, this is my engine oil. :) If you have food sensitivities, rest easy.

What I like about these pills is they are derived from microalgae grown under sanitary menufacturing conditions. It is free of ocean-borne contaminants like mercury and dioxin. I tell my friends who take fish oil pills, "Where do you think the fish get their Omega-3's? From the algae they eat!" Skip the fish and the mercury contamination that comes with it, and go straight to the algae
