The benefits of DHA and EPA are well known and range from improving heart function and skin conditions to metabolism enhancement. But the main focus of interest to me are the benefits to the brain. They're AMAZING!! Some conditions that benefit from EPA/DHA are ADHD (I've seen this improvement first hand), depression, memory function, anxiety, focus, PMS and even seizures. I'm certain that it could help improve many if not most brain conditions. (The brain is so fatty. The Omega 3 fatty acids are such a significant fuel for the brain. It's seriously brain food.)
So my fabulous friend (a fancy Chiropractor in Las Vegas) turned me on the the most amazing EPA/DHA product . Since my cute little family suffers from all sorts of funky mental ills, I started spooning it out like candy. My husband and I have seen such amazing improvements that now I'm on the "Everybody needs to get this stuff!" kick.
One day, after my family had been taking the EPA/DHA for 2 weeks, I was doing my youngest daughters hair and I noticed that she had about 1.5 inches of super shiny hair from the scalp. I thought that I hadn't washed the conditioner out well enough. Then the my next daughter climbed up on my chair to get her hair done and I noticed the EXACT same thing. What the?! It wasn't till I pulled a third child up on my chair to do her hair that I again noticed a 1.5 inch strip around her scalp of shiny hair that it occurred to me what was going on. It was the Omega 3's! This was the first physical sign I saw of the improvements that were going on inside our bodies. By week 4 of taking the EPA/DHA, all of our hair was shiny all the way from root to tip. It just made it's way down the hair shaft. It was so cool. Shiny hair just looks so healthy. I also loved the fact that the oil was indeed going DIRECTLY to the head which is just where I was hoping it would go.
The next sign I had was that my PMS symptoms (which admittedly are usually quite severe) were hardly a bump in the road at my next cycle. I felt so much more in control of my mood. (Okay, really, it ROCKED. So awesome!)
The next thing I noticed was the lessening of anxiety for one of my "littles". Her anxiety was getting to the point that she was unable to eat breakfast (she would get grossed out and stress about her food) and she was having some meld downs at school (like crumpling up test papers cause she didn't know an answer). But after taking the oil for 3-ish weeks, she was less stressed and was easily able to reason herself through the anxiety. YAY!
Then my husband comes to me and says "Man! My memory is so much better since I've been taking the oil. I can't even believe the stuff I'm able to remember for work. It's so cool." I didn't even know he was having a problem. (Should I have been concerned?)
We haven't been taking the oil very long but studies show that improvement goes beyond 6 months and that omega 3's build in your system over time. I'm so excited to see what the next 6 months will bring. Maybe my house will clean itself and dinner will make itself. That'd be SOME oil!
The brand that my awesome friend turned me onto is Pure Encapsulations and you can get it here for $31.90 with free shipping. This would be a 40 days supply for an adult and and 80 day supply for a child. The reason I recommend this brand specifically is because of 2 reasons. 1) I hate, no, DESPISE the flavor of fish and this product doesn't have a fishy taste or fishy burps. (Occasionally there is a "would it, could it be a hint of fishy flavor maybe?." but seriously nothing to even wince about.) It's lemon flavored and really palatable. My kids take it without a problem. Right from the spoon, 1,2,3,4 & 5. And 2) the EPA/DHA quantities are OFF THE CHART AMAZING! The EPA comes in at 740- 825 per serving and the DHA comes in at 460-550 per serving. See…incredible!
I also love that this oil is micro-filtered for impurities. (I wonder if that's why there really isn't a fishy taste?)
Anyway, go get this amazing oil! If not this brand, get one comparable. You will not be sorry when your shiny hair and beautiful nails scream "I'm so healthy!"
