What are omega nutrients?

I’m sure you’ve heard there are lots of omegas in fish, but why is that important?

Omega-3s are essential for making cells work in the body. They’re an energy source that keeps your heart, lungs, and immune system functioning the way they should!

They’re also important for your brain. They help with brain development in children, and slow cognitive decline as you get older!

They also help reduce heart disease, depression, inflammation, cancer, asthma, arthritis, and more. Omega-3s are actually one of the most-researched nutrients because of how vital they are!
AND there are so many in our fish!

We worked with the University of Guelph to figure out there is a whopping 1.4g in an average serving of our trout or char. The barramundi has 1g and the pickerel just over 0.7g.

There isn’t really a consensus on how many omegas you need. But Health Canada recommends at least two servings of oily fish a week.

And other experts suggest even more if you’re younger, older, or facing any of the health issues above!

And there is some solid research that omegas from fish (versus pills) has better results, especially when it comes to reducing heart attacks and heart disease.
