What are some of the common signs of omega deficiencies? Omega-3 is the single, most widespread essential nutrient deficiency of our time. Every cell in your body requires them for health and for life, so there’s a wide range of symptoms associated with not getting enough of these essential nutrients that come only from fats/oils and that life cannot make in your body from anything else. Common signs are brittle nails and hair, dry skin, difficulty sleeping, joint pain, and difficult menstrual cycles.
What are the benefits of supplementing omega-3 and -6? If you increase your intake of omega-3, provided they are not damaged by processing (which includes heating) and they don’t contain toxins that diminish their value, you can improve virtually every major degenerative condition of our time. Why? Because
1) Every cell needs them.
2) There are only a few sources.
3) 90+% of the population gets less than they need for optimum health.
4) They are highly perishable and a nightmare to work with, because of their sensitivity, and they are therefore extensively damaged by processing or avoided by manufacturers who want shelf-stable products.
