We explored the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on cadmium (Cd) exposure, a common pollutant that risks human health through the food chain. Our investigation focused on how DHA might help mitigate the harmful effects of Cd, particularly by looking at changes in gut microbiota.
The study involved examining mice that had been exposed to cadmium. We observed that DHA significantly boosted the amount of cadmium expelled in feces while reducing the levels of cadmium accumulated in various organs. Our findings highlighted a particularly encouraging increase in Parabacteroides, a beneficial bacteria in the gut that appeared to play a crucial role in this process.
We noted that the representative strain of Parabacteroides not only demonstrated the ability to reduce Cd toxicity but also helped repair gut damage inflicted by cadmium exposure. Furthermore, DHA effectively reduced cadmium levels in organs such as the liver, spleen, and kidneys, leading to a noticeable increase in cadmium excretion.
Overall, our results suggest that DHA may have significant potential in promoting the excretion of cadmium in instances of exposure. This insight offers a fascinating avenue for considering DHA as a supportive treatment option for handling heavy metal toxicity.

Improved cholesterol levels

30% useful Omega-3 acids PUFA in one capsule has been taken by my family as our diet could be more varied. We trialled this but found that Now Foods' other products offer better alternatives. We carefully examine the composition when selecting omega-3s, focusing on EPA and DHA. The combined content totals 1000 mg, meaning I need to take three capsules, which isn’t very cost-effective, and there's excessive saturated fat. While many dislike the ethyl esters form, we prefer triglycerides. Thanks to Omega-3, my husband’s health metrics improved, his cholesterol rose, and his atherogenic coefficient normalised. Omega-3 works, and we’ll opt for Oslomega next time due to its superior composition.

Great quality Omega! Excellent high-quality omega available at a competitive price. The EPA and DHA levels are ideal, and it's important to take it with food for optimal absorption. Thank you for rating my review!

Heart performance enhancement

A few months back, I had a heavy neck and rapid heart rate during exercise. After a friend's suggestion, I began taking Omega-3 to enhance heart performance and support eye health. Within days of using NOW FOODS Omega-3, I felt fresher, my breathing improved, and my heart no longer raced during light activities. Many thanks to Iherb & Now Foods!

Cholesterol level normalised

Excellent! My husband, a food lover, was overweight, and his cholesterol was too high. We began a diet and added a complex of vitamins with omega-3. After 2.5 months of taking Now Foods omega-3, he had normal cholesterol levels - it truly works! This product is invaluable and should be taken regularly.

Restored hormonal balance
2 people found this helpful
For daily nourishment with healthy fats, I struggled with hormonal issues due to a low-calorie diet. After taking Omega-3 for a month, I restored balance, and my skin, nails, and overall wellbeing improved. Most importantly, I now include healthy fats that aid the gastrointestinal tract and support overall health.

Improved digestion
1 people found this helpful
We consume omega-3 as a family due to its widespread health benefits. After researching many manufacturers, I chose Now Foods for its excellent reputation and reasonable pricing. This omega-3 boasts high EPA and DHA content, molecularly distilled. We intake omega-3 in cycles in spring and autumn, and after over a year, I noticed enhanced digestion, more elastic skin, reduced hair loss, and an overall sense of wellbeing without chronic fatigue. I frequently take vitamins alongside omega-3, enhancing the overall effect. The easy-to-swallow capsules have no fishy taste or odour. Highly recommended!

Joint pain relief
2 people found this helpful
I liked this product. I’ve been taking it for 2.5 months alongside a vitamin complex. I’m preparing to become a mother and followed my doctor's advice. I have cracked joints and hair loss, but I've noticed some new hair growing, better regularity in my stomach, and my joints have surprisingly stopped hurting. My husband is finishing the Now Foods omega while I switch to another form.

Highly recommended product
1 people found this helpful
I find Now Foods Omega-3 optimal in terms of quality and price. The capsules are sizeable but don’t have an unpleasant smell. I recommend consuming them with fatty foods for better absorption. I’ve experienced increased resilience, improved vascular elasticity, and generally endorse this product for its benefits.

More energy
3 people found this helpful
Now Foods Omega-3 is superb with 200 capsules lasting for 100 days. I take two capsules during meals as recommended, though I sometimes miss my daily intake. I'm aware of the benefits omega-3 provides for skin and cardiovascular health; I’ve consumed it since I was 19. After four months, I break for a month and repeat. My energy has significantly increased, and I recommend it to anyone seeking vitality and internal health support!
