Description

🌿 Omega-3 Power Blend

Looking to boost your omega-3 intake?
Here is your daily dose of clean, anti-inflammatory omega-3s—no fish required.

In a world of overhyped supplements and questionable seafood, this is a clean, affordable, and evidence-based way to get the omega-3s your body truly needs.

Omega-3s are essential fats that support immune health, reduce inflammation, and protect your heart and brain. While many people rely on fish or fish oil supplements to get their omega-3s, these sources come with growing concerns.

Farmed fish are often raised with antibiotics and exposed to pollutants like mercury, PCBs, and dioxins. Even wild-caught fish are increasingly contaminated by ocean waste (Hites et al., Science, 2004). Some studies have also linked frequent fish consumption—especially fried or processed forms—to a higher risk of diabetes, weight gain, and inflammatory diseases (Wallin et al., Diabetes Care, 2012).

Fish oil supplements don’t escape scrutiny either. High doses have been associated with a slight increase in bleeding risk and atrial fibrillation, and for many people, the actual heart benefits are minimal at best (Manson et al., NEJM, 2019).


🌱 This is where plants shine.

Our Plant-Based Omega-3 Power Blend is a simple mix of flax, chia, and hemp seeds—all rich in ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), the plant-based omega-3. While it’s true that ALA must be converted into EPA and DHA, research shows that when people cut back on omega-6 oils from processed foods, their body becomes much more efficient at making that conversion (Goyens et al., Am J Clin Nutr, 2006).

✅ With just 2 tablespoons a day, this blend gives your body a powerful nutritional upgrade:

  • Clean omega-3s without toxins or side effects
  • Bonus nutrients like fiber, magnesium, zinc, and plant protein
  • Simple to make and easy to add to smoothies, oatmeal, soups, or salads

🌀 Method

  1. Grind flax and chia seeds in a coffee/spice grinder or high-speed blender until fine.
  2. Lightly pulse hemp seeds (or leave whole for texture).
  3. Mix all together with turmeric and cinnamon, if using.
  4. Store in an airtight glass jar in the fridge (or freezer for longer-term storage).
