The North American diet is almost completely void
of the essential fatty acid Omega-3. Researchers
believe that at least 60% of North Americans are
presently deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids and
that children are obtaining almost no Omega-3.
In fact, the deficiency of Omega-3 in the North
American diet has now been linked to an extensive
list of health-related problems sited in over
2,000 scientific studies.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to health.
They are considered essential fatty acids, which
means that they are essential to human health
but cannot be manufactured by the body.
The National Institutes of Health and International
Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids
(ISSFAL) recommends that individuals consume at
least 220mg daily of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid),
the most important Omega-3 fatty acids, and that
pregnant and nursing women consume at least 300mg
daily. For comparison purposes, there is 100mg
of DHA per 1/4 cup of canned tuna.
The Xoçai™ Omega Squares™
have a minimum of 200mg of DHA and EPA per three
11 gram squares. The Xoçai™ Omega
Squares™ are an excellent source of Omega-3
and promotes the necessary balance of essential
fatty acids though the Açaí Berry,
flaxseed and a patented, plant-based, encapsulated
Omega-3.
