STAR INGREDIENT:
Omega-3s : Omega-3s may help protect the heart by reducing inflammation that can damage blood vessels and lead to heart disease. They may also help to lower triglycerides, a type of fat found in the blood that can increase risk of heart disease. Omega-3s can also reduce blood pressure and blood clotting, and improve arthritis symptoms. Some preliminary research has shown omega-3s may help prevent breast and prostate cancer from developing, but more studies are needed.
