There’s no arguing the health benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids. Scientists have proven Omega-3s can lower blood pressure, reduce risk of heart disease, and fight inflammation (to name a few).

With any luck, everyone's getting along and settled into a temporary routine. But, just in case you're running out of ways to keep them occupied, we’ve developed an algae-themed activity book.

As a health professional, I encourage my clients to focus on a global dietary pattern best suited to their needs, taking into account family history, medical conditions, lifestyle, and activity choices. It’s important to make food and nutrition solutions as simple as possible.
