An energetic body is an energetic life. Omegas improve the quality of our health. They help our bodies feel more flexible, energetic, and strong. They give our bodies energy and make sure that certain systems like the brain, the heart, the bones are all working efficiently. Now who doesn’t want to feel all healthy and powerful?

Benefits of omega 3, 6, and 9 and why need them:
Omega 3s is great for cognitive health, our heart, joints, and immune system. We can’t make this fat on our own so we HAVE to get it from our diet and/or supplements. Omegas 6s is great for energy. They give us more fluidity and energy throughout our bodies. Now the ratio between omega-3s and omega-6s is also very important. You don’t want to consume too much omega-6s. It will turn pro-inflammatory quickly. And nobody wants to be inflamed. The goal is to be consuming more omega-3s than omega-6s. The ideal ratio looks like 1 to 1 or 4 to 1, with omega-3s being the majority. Keeping this ratio is so important because any imbalances will start to cancel out the health benefits of omega-3s.  

Omega 9s are known for helping our bodies with any inflammation. Now the fire thing about omega-9s is that our bodies can produce this on it’s own. 

What food sources can I get these omegas from?
Now most omega-3s sources are found in oily fish like salmon, sardines, mackerel, etc. But if you’re plant-based or vegan there are options like flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts, etc. Omega-6s are most vegetable oils. Omega-9s are in vegetable oils, nuts, and seeds. 

Our bodies love a good balanced amount of omega 3, 6, and 9s. The best ratio is 2-1-1. If this all sounds like mumbo jumbo to you, Forest Remedies makes this a lot easier! They have plant-based supplements with the right combination of all three omegas. This is exactly what our bodies need. 

My top two must have omega supplements from Forest Remedies are the Ahiflower Oil Multi-Omega and the Elderberry Immune Multi-Omega. The Ahiflower oil is great for heart, brain, skin and joint function. The Elderberry Immune is great for strengthening our immune systems stronger and more defensive. Both formulas contain Ahiflower oil. The main difference is the multi-omega has a higher concentration of Ahiflower Oil and the Elderberry Immune Formula has a bit less of Ahiflower oil because it is combined with Elderberry extract. These supplements will have you like, what’s a cold? I’m unfamiliar. 

Now let’s get into Ahiflower oil because she really is that girl! She’s a powerful plant that’s new on the market. She knows she has the healthiest omegas than any other plant source. They even like to call the cleaner, greener omega. Studies prove that Ahiflower Omega is 4x more effective than the omega-3 in flaxseed. This is because our bodies can absorb the omega 3 in Ahiflower more seamlessly and efficiently than in flaxseed. 

I’ve been searching for the right omega supplement for a while now. Every time I take an omega 3 or fish oil supplement I get these intense fishy burps and they taste so bad. When I switched over to Forest Remedies I immediately noticed there was no burping! No hiccups, none of that. I can really appreciate Forest Remedies for using plant-based sources. 

Speaking of plant-based... Can we get into this packaging!? Even the packaging is plastic free and 100% recyclable. Talk about being good for the environment! I just love to support a socially-conscious wellness brand. It’s giving ‘we care’. We care about you and our home. 

If you’re looking for a high quality omega supplement without the aggressive fish burps, I would highly recommend Forest Remedies. The right balance of omegas will have you feeling and looking much more vibrant. This helped my health and my life so I just had to share. Cheers to more energy and more life!
