New Roots Herbal’s Omegas
Omega Support That Reflects Today’s Needs
Omega fatty acids are essential to how the body functions—supporting cardiovascular health, brain function, skin integrity, and mood balance. But within this family, omega‑3 stands out for its direct, daily impact. And even within omega‑3, the balance between EPA and DHA—and the quality of the oil itself—makes a meaningful difference.
Why Omega‑3 Matters More Than Ever
Omega‑3 fatty acids—EPA and DHA—are incorporated into cell membranes throughout the body. They help support heart health, cognitive function, and vision, while also playing an important role in supporting mood balance.
Omega‑3 Status
The Omega‑3 Index measures EPA and DHA levels in red blood cells over time. Research shows that two in five people do not get enough omega‑3, meaning many individuals fall below levels associated with optimal cardiovascular support.
Low intake doesn’t just affect physical health—it can also influence mental clarity and emotional balance, making omega‑3 a key part of everyday wellbeing.
EPA and DHA: Why Their Ratio Matters
Not all omega‑3s function the same way.
- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is more closely associated with supporting a healthy inflammatory response and mood balance.
- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is a structural component of the brain and eyes, playing a key role in cognitive function and vision.
Rather than focusing only on total omega‑3 intake, the EPA-to-DHA ratio helps tailor support to specific needs.
- Higher EPA-to-DHA ratios are often selected when the focus is on mood and inflammatory balance.
- Balanced or DHA-forward profiles are typically chosen for cognitive and visual support.
The Importance of a High-Quality Omega‑3
Not all omega‑3 supplements are created equally—especially when it comes to wild-sourced fish oils.
The quality of a wild omega supplement depends on several factors: the source of the fish, how the oil is extracted, how it is protected from oxidation, and how thoroughly it is tested. Because omega‑3 oils are highly sensitive to heat, light, and oxygen, maintaining freshness and stability is essential to preserving their benefits.
New Roots Herbal wild omega supplements are sourced with quality in mind and tested in an independent, ISO 17025–accredited laboratory to verify identity, potency, and purity. Each batch is screened for heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, pesticides, PCBs, mycotoxins, and microbial contaminants.
Where Omega‑6, ‑7, and ‑9 Fit In
While omega‑3 is often the priority, other fatty acids contribute to a more complete nutritional profile.
- Omega‑6 supports skin health, hormone signalling, and cellular function.
- Omega‑7 contributes to skin hydration, mucous membranes, and lipid metabolism.
- Omega‑9 supports healthy cholesterol levels and metabolic balance.
For those looking for simplicity, a 3‑6‑7‑9 formula offers a convenient way to include these fatty acids together—complementing overall omega intake.
A More Targeted Way to Approach Omegas
Omega supplementation isn’t just about taking more—it’s about taking what fits your needs.
Focusing on omega‑3 intake—and understanding the role of EPA and DHA ratios—allows for more personalized support, whether the goal is heart health, cognitive support, or mood balance. From there, broader options like 3‑6‑7‑9 can complement a complete fatty acid profile.
With an emphasis on quality, sourcing, and testing, New Roots Herbal omegas are designed to support how you think, feel, and function—every day.
