Omega Squares
The North American diet is almost completeley void of the essential fatty acid Omega-3. Researches 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.
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 ¼ cup of canned tuna.
The Xocai Omega Squares have a minimum of 200mg of DHA and EPA per three 11 gram squares. The Xocai Omega Squares are an excellent source of Omega-3 and promotes the necessary balance of essential fatty acids though the Acai Berry, flaxseed and a patented, plant-based, encapsulated Omega-3.
