Just a smart, welcoming space to learn, ask questions, and feel more confident about what you’re choosing.
The Power of Omega-3s
Thursday, July 30, 2026 | 6:00 PM PT | 3:00 PM HST
Omega-3 Fats (EPA & DHA) found in fish, fish oil, and algae are backed by decades of clinical research showcasing their benefits for the heart, brain, eye, and prenatal health. Omega-3s aren’t just beneficial, they’re vitally important for every cell in the body. Despite the importance of these critical nutrients, 80% of Americans are chronically deficient.
