What’s the Best Brain and Heart Health Supplement for Men?
Omega-3 essential fatty acids, such as those found in fish or krill oil, are one of the best supplements men can take to support a healthy heart and brain.
According to expert analysis, omega-3 essential fatty acid supplements are increasingly popular in the U.S., with around 8% of adults taking some form of omega-3.1 Our bodies are unable to create these essential fatty acids naturally, so we need outside sources—the most common being fish oil. But that isn’t your only option.
When it comes to omega-3 fatty acid supplements, there are many choices. Another great option is krill oil—in fact, the omega-3s from krill oil supplements may be more easily absorbed by the body than fish oil supplements.2
For a vegan source of omega-3 fatty acids, try Swanson’s Plant Based Omega-3. Another fish- and shellfish-free option is pumpkin seed oil, shown in research to support prostate health.3
Omega-3 essential fatty acids have been linked to promoting heart and cognitive health in addition to supporting healthy cells and organs.4 Emerging research also indicates that omega-3 can help promote a balanced and healthy inflammation response in the joints after physical exertion,5 meaning that this nutrient can play a supportive role in daily physical fitness.
A daily omega-3 supplement is important because it’s an essential nutrient for a healthy heart, brain, skin, joints and more!1
You be well, now
