📚 Read time: 4 minutes

Coming up: hearts, eyes, taking care of your brain, what to do if you don’t eat enough fish, how you can join the 20%, many helpful supplements, and everything you need to know about what Omega-3 can do for your health.

👋 We’re Elaine and Rob, the married-couple Irish team who’ve spent years crafting and perfecting supplements here at Sentro Labs.

… and we’ve both been taking Omega-3 for a long time.

So:

What can Omega-3 do for you? Can it help with sleep + stress? How does it help your brain + heart? Might an Omega-3 supplement give my daily life a little boost?

Coming up: all that and more.

🧠 A quick note before we get on with it: because only 20% of the planet are getting enough Omega-3, not many people are experiencing the wide range of benefits.

… and those (big and brilliant) benefits include:

7 benefits from getting more Omega-3

Boosted brain health

Omega-3 can have positive effects on your:

Memory
Brain cells
Neurotransmitters

It can improve concentration and mental clarity—and reduce both inflammation and cognitive decline. Regular intake may lower the risk of depression, Alzheimer's, and age-related mental deterioration.

💭 Obviously, your brain is one of your most important organs. And Omega-3 gives you an easy way to take care of it!

A healthier heart

Omega-3 helps your heart in many ways. By:

Keeping arteries flexible—so they can expand and contract properly with each heartbeat
Increasing healthy cholesterol, and reducing blood pressure
Perhaps helping to prevent heart disease and strokes
Supporting a steady heartbeat
Reducing inflammation

♥️ In general, Omega-3 is great for the heart, helping it to function properly— which can be especially helpful as we get older.

More flexible and mobile joints

Omega-3 can:

Help reduce joint pain —especially in people with arthritis
May slow the progression of age-related joint damage
Can improve athletic performance
Supports mobility and flexibility
Helps with joint lubrication
Reduces inflammation

Eye health

👁️ Omega-3 can help with:

Dry eyes
Age-related vision decline
Improving blood flow to the eyes
Macular degeneration (an eye disease that’s relatively common when you hit 50+)

Improved sleep + stress

If you’ve read many of our other blog posts, you’ll know sleep + stress are heavily intertwined…

✅ … and by improving one…

✅ … you can automatically improve the other.

Well: Omega-3 helps with both sleep and stress. It:

Reduces cortisol levels (that's the body’s stress hormone)
Can improve sleep quality
Can help you feel calmer

Interestingly, higher Omega-3 levels are linked to decreased anxiety, better mood, and improved sleep cycles.

👉 To give your sleep + stress an even bigger boost, here’s EQUILIBRIUM. Featuring L-Theanine, Lemon Balm, Magnesium Bisglycinate, Chamomile Extract, Hops Extract, L-Ornithine HCL, and KSM-66 Ashwagandha, it’s specifically designed to improve sleep and reduce stress—and it’s made us feel much more alive and energetic.

Can help with hormones (for both men and women)

Omega-3 is great for hormones:

♀️ In women, Omega-3 can improve menopause and perimenopause symptoms. This has been especially useful for Elaine, who’s currently going through perimenopause.

♂️ In men, Omega-3 can improve testosterone production. Especially useful because: from the age of around 30, testosterone levels begin dropping by 1-2% per year.

… and Omega-3 also helps with hormone regulation indirectly—by improving stress, sleep, exercise recovery, and general health.

💡 Btw, at Sentro Labs, we’ve recently crafted two simple but powerful hormone complexes:

PERFORMANCE: a testosterone-supporting complex for men. Featuring Vitamin D, Maca Root, Zinc, Selenium, Fenugreek, L-Arginine, and Carnitine, it can boost your sex drive, muscle mass, strength, energy, and mood.
HARMONY is specifically designed to ease the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause. Featuring Vitamin D, Magnesium Bisglycinate, Zinc Bisglycinate, Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Selenium, and Lion’s Mane, it can help with mood, sleep, energy, gut health, and stress.

Exercise Recovery

As we get older, we’ve both prioritised our recovery from exercise.

(... because, at this age, recovery is arguably more important than the exercise itself).

💪 And Omega-3 can help a lot, by:

Improving blood flow
Assisting muscle repair
Supporting joint recovery
Reducing muscle soreness

How to get more Omega-3

🍽️ Option 1: from food

When you think of Omega-3, you probably think of fish…

… and, yep, you’d be right:

🐟 Oily fish (like salmon, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, herring, and trout) are basically the ONLY foods that offer a high and reliable source of Omega-3.

So… if you don’t eat much fish, your next-best choice is:

💊 Option 2: our Omega-3 supplement

Our Omega-3 supplement is made from fish oil.

🎣 It includes both EPA + DHA, two different Omega-3s—and if you’re gonna take an Omega-3 supplement, it’s essential you get one that includes both.

Our Omega-3 fish oil is part of our essentials range, which also includes:

Magnesium Bisglycinate
Vitamin D3 (which, importantly, comes with added K2)

Our Omega-3 is a carefully measured dose of 1,000mg, it’s made from wild-caught, responsibly-harvested fish oil, it’s third-party tested for purity, it’s easy for your body to use and absorb, and it’s made in Ireland.

Oh, and because we’re officially Guaranteed Irish, you know our supplements are high-quality, our service is reliable, and we’re super proud to be a local Irish business! 🍀

Omega-3: final thoughts

There you go, that’s everything you need to know about Omega-3, why we love it, and what it can do for you.

To sum up, it’s a convenient way to boost your quality of life, and can help your:

Hormones
Eyes + brain
Heart + joints
Sleep + stress

Our Omega-3 is easy to absorb, it’s carefully dosed, and it includes both EPA + DHA. So, it does exactly what you want it to, it’s a simple supplement, and it’s reliable and effective. Not bad for a little bit of oil!
