Who doesn’t want youthful, radiant and glowing skin? Who wants sagging purple pouches under their eyes? Don’t we all want long, shiny, lustrous tresses which would cause heads to turn? And how many of us haven’t spent thousands of dollars on worthless products that promised us our dreams but only resulted in little less than frustration and low self-esteem?

The simplest solution to all these worries – Omega 3, and skin health is yours!

Omega 3 containsDHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) ALA (Alpha Linolenic Acid).

Let’s get down to the basics first; what is the root cause of skin disorder? Now, we have been told it is exposure to sun or pollution, dust and bacteria and the rest of the misconceptions we grew up hearing. The root cause is Nutrient deficiency i.e. deficiency of essential fatty acids which lead to inflammation of the skin and this shows the connection between Omega 3 and skin health. Depending on the type of skin you have, any inflammation could be easily triggered by normal everyday actions, for example, the use of perfume. Eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis and seborrhea are a few of the many skin disorders that a lack of essential nutrients can cause.
