Do you think they inject Omega-3 fatty acids into every one of those eggs?

Surprise! Actually, they alter the chickens’ feed – often with pleasant tasting ground flaxseed which is higher in Omega-3 fatty acids and lower in saturated fatty acids than other grains.

Cold water fish like herring, mackerel, and salmon are superior sources of Omega-3, but all sources, according to research, can be beneficial to your health. One caveat, though – if you opt for supplements, Omega-3s have blood-thinning potential and can interact with medications.

Did you know that Omega-3s may prevent soft tissue and bone loss associated with gum disease? Not only that, but research also suggests they may…

  • improve cardiovascular health
  • help brain function
  • protect expectant mothers against post-partum depression
  • diminish joint inflammation.

Eggscellent!
