today
... Try the Omega Whey!
Pregnant
Women and Mothers
Having a healthy diet during
pregnancy is critical for the good development of the baby.
Mothers are the only source of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA)
for the fetus and the primary source for infants if she chooses
to breastfeed. Therefore, they need a diet rich in DHA to ensure
that her child is getting enough of this essential nutrient for
its growth and developmental needs. Once mothers stop
breastfeeding it is particularly important to make sure that
children are receiving adequate intakes of omega-3 fatty acids.
Research indicates that during fetal development and infancy DHA
is essential to the development of the child's vital organs. As
such, the baby needs to get enough DHA from conception through
to infancy to develop:
- A healthy
brain
- Good eyes
and eyesight
- A fully
functional nervous system
Research has also indicated
that omega-3 fatty acids can help significantly reduce the
symptoms of postpartum depression, also known as "baby blues"
Proteins are the building blocks for your body, and fetuses and
babies are definitely doing a lot of "building". Omega Whey
provides women with 22.5 grams of the most bio-available
protein, helping ensure the needs in those critical phases in
life are met. Children Research shows that DHA is a part of
every brain cell and it plays a crucial role in the brain's
ability to function. As the brain continues to grow and develop
throughout childhood, children need to consume the recommended
daily intake of Omega-3s as it may help to reduce the symptoms
of:
- Dyslexia
and other learning disorders
- Attention
Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and other behavioral disorders
- Dyspraxia
and other coordination disorders
- Poor
eyesight and other health conditions
Studies have also shown that
children with a higher intake level of omega-3 fatty acids
perform, on average, 6 points higher in IQ test than those who
have diets low in omega-3. In addition, protein remains a key
part of the diets of children due to their rapid development,
and Omega Whey provides them with the most bio-available source,
whey protein isolate.
What's in it
for you?
OmegaWheyTM is a protein drink
with added omega 3 DHA and EPA fatty acids.
Only the very best whey protein
isolate is used in our formulation, which means not only are you
getting 22.5 grams of protein per serving, you are getting 22.5
grams of the most bio-available protein! Whey protein isolate is
more available to your body than soy protein, egg, or meat!
Pharmaceutical grade omega-3
fatty acids from MEG- 3® provides you with the type of omega-3s
your body actually needs: DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (Eicosapentaenoic
acid). These microencapsulated fatty acids are contaminant-free
(no PCBs or heavy metals), odorless and tasteless. Even better,
the encapsulation is designed to only brake down in your lower
intestine, exactly where omega-3s are absorbed! All the benefits
of omega-3 fatty acids without the huge pills or fishy smell!
