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, such as DHA, per teaspoon than the majority of omega-3 fish oil supplements sold today. Since Res-Q 1250 provides more omega-3 per teaspoon, Res-Q 1250 is a better value for your dollar and you save more. Res-Q 1250 is intended to supplement the diet to provide an optimal amount of omega-3 fatty acids to help provide a proper balance of healthy, good fats. Res-Q 1250 helps provide optimal brain and eye health. (more…)

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…)

Supplements that are safe for pregnant women

 
Res-Q 1250 Liquid LemonRes-Q 1250 is an omega-3 supplement that provides more omega-3s for less. Safe to take when pregnant and breastfeeding, Res-Q 1250 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 1250 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. (more…)

You Asked: 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 Intake Is Benefical During Pregnancy! 

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…)
