Omega-3 Review and Giveaway

Thanks to one of the websites I am a member of I was lucky enough to be chosen to try Omega-3 softgels from Truceuticals. Truceuticals is a compant that makes natural pain reliever and supplements. I have heard many great things about taking Omega-3 supplement and I have been wanting to try it! So being chosen for this review and giveaway was a blessing.

Truceuticals, also makes, natural pain relief cream called Noxicare!

So when I first started researching Omega-3, I found some awesome information on the WebMD website. This is what I found:

"There are many health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids. Research shows strong evidence that the omega-3s EPA and DHA can boost heart health and lower triglycerides. And there are studies showing that omega-3 fatty acids may help with other conditions -- rheumatoid arthritis, depression, and many more.

Just what are omega-3 fatty acids exactly? How much do you need? And what do all those abbreviations -- EPA, DHA, and ALA -- really mean? Here's a rundown of the essential omega-3 facts you need to know.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Basics

• Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids. We need them for our bodies to work normally. Because essential fatty acids (ALA,DHA,EPA) are not made in the body or are inefficiently converted from ALA to EPA and DHA, we need to get them from our diet .
• Omega-3s have a number of health benefits. Omega-3s are thought to play an important role in reducing inflammation throughout the body -- in the blood vessels, the joints, and elsewhere. However, omega-3 supplements (EPA/DHA) may cause the blood to thin and cause excess bleeding, particularly in people taking anticoagulant drugs.
• There are several types of omega-3 fatty acids. Two crucial ones -- EPA and DHA -- are primarily found in certain fish. Plants like flax contain ALA, an omega-3 fatty acid that is partially converted into DHA and EPA in the body. Algae oil often provides only DHA.
• Experts say that DHA and EPA -- from fish and fish oil -- have better established health benefits than ALA. DHA and EPA are found together only in fatty fish and algae. DHA can also be found on its own in algae, while flaxseed and plant sources of omega-3s provide ALA -- a precursor to EPA and DHA, and a source of energy."

After finding out all this information and researching for a few days, I was more than excited to give it a try! I have been taking Truceuticals Omega-3 natural supplement now for a little over a week. I think the product is great! I have been feeling better and I have had much less inflammation in my knees (which were causing me pain and I was having to take Motrin everyday, but now I have not taken any Motrin at all for 3 days!) 

So on to the fun part... One of my lucky readers will get a chance to try a bottle for themselves from free! Truceuticals has offered to send one of my readers a free bottle to try. All you have to do to enter is to use the form below! :) Good Luck!
