Res-Q 1250 Liquid Lemon

Res-Q 1250 Liquid Lemon

 The omega-3 fatty acid DHA is important for the normal process of healthy growth and development of children. DHA is very good for the health of the eyes and the brain of children. According to The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, “The n-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) is important for neural and visual function development.”  

Res-Q 1250 Liquid provides more omega-3 fatty acids: EPA and  DHA, per teaspoon than the majority of omega-3 fish oil supplements sold today and since small children may not swallow capsules, Res-Q 1250 Liquid is convenient, you may mix the oil in with their food.  (more…)

Omega-3 News: Omega-3 and Healthy Babies

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Picture of Mom and BabyMore DHA for Healthy Babies!

Omega-3 fatty acids, such as DHA, play a role in producing healthy babies. Mom’s diet is so important to unborn babies, since healthy babies rely on mom’s nutritional diet. Healthy babies also rely on DHA from breast milk.

If mom is deficient in DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid, then the baby will be deficient in DHA! Omega-3 fatty acids like DHA, are good beneficial fats that promote brain development. In fact, the majority of the brain is fat of which DHA represents a portion of the brain.

A new randomized, controlled clinical-trial shows that more DHA is better for healthy babies. (more…)

Omega-3 News: Pregnant Women and Baby’s Vision

Tuesday, January 6th, 2009
 

High DHA Supplement

Res-Q’s omega-3 supplements provide more omega-3s for less. Safe to take when pregnant and breastfeeding, Res-Q’s omega-3 supplements can be recommended when other supplements cannot. Studies show that omega-3 is so beneficial that the idea of not obtaining omega-3 when pregnant may cause more harm than good.

Due to water pollution, pregnant women cannot obtain enough omega-3 from fish due to concern over heavy metals. The Res-Q omega-3  dietary supplement is a purified, safe form of omega-3. Metals and oxidative impurities are removed through a specialized purification process.    

A new study shows more DHA is better. By comparing vision at four months of age, and dividing the infants into multiple groups, a new study sheds light on the subject of just how much omega-3 pregnant women need. Babies fed a higher dose of DHA compared with a lower dose of DHA, had better vision.
      
Omega-3 fats promote visual development in babies and are a very beneficial supplement for women to take on a regular basis.The study determined that one gram of DHA was better than the typical dose used, which is far less. 
     
How much omega-3s do I need?  
Since the optimal amount of omega-3s remains to be established, pregnant and nursing women should consult their doctor for dosage recommendations and for administration to children under one year of age. It is still very important to work closely with your doctor regarding dietary requirements for infants, and make sure that your doctor knows what supplements you take. As we learn more, we continue to share information with physicians and customers.Visit us online at

Mothers, Pregnant and Nursing Moms Need Omega 3

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Many mothers are deficient in DHA throughout their pregnancy which translates to DHA deficiency in their children at birth, thus they may benefit from DHA supplementation.
 
We recommend that nursing mothers and pregnant women discuss the dosage of omega-3 with their physician.
 
Supplementation is most beneficial in the early stages of pregnancy. Even if you are thinking about becoming pregnant, it is a good idea to supplement. (more…)

What are the Benefits for Adults with ADD and ADHD taking omega 3?

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008
The omega-3 fatty acids help support a normal brain function. Adults take Res-Q 1250. A lot of studies in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have been conducted on children. However, adults may obtain the same results. Some of our customers tell us that their children pay attention better, sit and focus longer than they used to. 
   
Low levels of omega-3 fatty acids have been found in these children. Since omega-3 has to be converted into EPA and DHA, supplementation with a potent grade of EPA/DHA is necessary because the body gets a direct supply of EPA and DHA. Therefore, supplementation may help correct the deficiency.

If a poor dietary intake or a poor ability to metabolize omega-3 into active omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA is happening, then supplementing the diet with a direct source of EPA and DHA, such as Res-Q 1250, would be beneficial to restore levels.

Omega-3 fatty acids are important to the brain development, health, structure and function of the brain which is comprised of fats. It has been suggested that the type of fat consumed can affect the function of the brain. Only from specific fatty fish can we obtain a sufficient amount of the good omega-3 fats from diet. Due to the fact that children don’t like fish, fish is not consumed often enough, and safety issues surround fish consumption, if you are looking for a very good supplement to give your child, a pure, safe omega-3 fatty acid supplement would be very beneficial to supplement the diet to help ensure that omega-3 is obtained. Your brain relies on omega-3 fatty acids for proper health and function.

Omega-3 News: Brain and Eye Development in Babies

 Omega-3 Intake Is Benefical During Pregnancy!  

Res-Q Calamarine for brain and eyes

 

 Omega-3 fatty acids are a “brain power boost.”1 

Researchers in Detroit, Michigan, conducted a study to learn more about the role of DHA, a good fat, an omega-3 fatty acid, on growth and development.   

In a new study, the DHA content in umbilical-cord blood , an omega-3 fatty acid was linked to better “brain and eye development at the ages of 6 months and 11 months”1   

Newborn cord blood containing higher levels of DHA at birth was linked to better performance on tests for visual acuity and memory at 6 months of age, and cognitive and motor development at 11 months.   

Since pregnant women are advised to avoid large fish like swordfish and shark due to mercury levels, a safe way to ensure that you are getting DHA while pregnant is to take a highly purified form of fish oil that has been molecularly distilled to ensure that the final product does not contain harmful levels of mercury that are found in the fish. This way, beneficial omega-3 fatty acids like DHA can be obtained without risk of mercury. (more…)
