From infancy up to our senior years, our brain health plays an important part in our wellbeing and the ability to enjoy life to the fullest. Some of the most important nutrients for maintaining and boosting brain health and function are EFA’s or essential fatty acids, essential meaning we require them for survival but our bodies cannot produce them. EPA and DHA are two essential fatty acids sourced from fish that we require from our diet to maintain healthy cognitive function and mood. Good dietary sources of EPA and DHA are cold-water fish such as salmon, mackerel, halibut, sardines, tuna, and herring.
One concern with eating an adequate amount of fish to obtain our daily quota’s of EPA and DHA is the widespread pollution and toxicity found in wild caught fish. Supplementing with fish oil is a good way to get these essential nutrients in therapeutic doses without any risk of ingesting impurities and heavy metals. Ascenta fish oil supplements go through a strict third-party quality testing program called Pure Check where each product lot is tested for contaminants such as PCB’s, mercury and dioxins against the most rigorous safety standards.
Ascenta is also renown for taking into consideration with its manufacturing of supplements the following:
- Sustainability
