Have you ever wondered about the facts behind the hype over omega3s? From cod liver oil to algal sources of DHA, omega-3 fatty acids have consistently ranked among the most commonly used supplemental ingredients. Yet just as the use of omega-3 oils has sustained popularity, so have the myths and misconceptions surrounding them. It is a well-known fact that omega-3 fatty acids play important physiological roles in brain function, growth and development, and a healthy inflammatory response. Health care professionals also know that deficiencies have been linked to a variety of health issues. HCPs accustomed to turning to evidence based medicine have frequently found the evidence supporting supplemental use of omega-3s is inconsistent.

There is clarity to be found amid the confounding peer-reviewed publications covering omega-3s. Join The Nutrition Myth Buster, omega-3 expert Jonny Bowden, to learn how to utilize the latest research on omega-3s in clinical practice. You don’t want to miss this dynamic presentation.
