THE SOUTH AFRICAN DIETThe recent South African National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (SANHANES) revealed that South Africans do not eat enough fruit, vegetables and cold water fatty fish.

ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS Accredited literature indicates that marine-derived fish oil, plant-derived carotenes, as

well as vitamin E are essential to maintaining good health.

CLOSING THE NUTRITION GAPResearch suggests that food supplements may be helpful to ensure that South Africans

get all the vitamins and minerals necessary to achieve optimum health.

CHOOSING A TRUSTED SUPPLEMENTGlobally, the omega-3 fatty acid supplement industry is expanding rapidly, yet research

shows that the industry is not adequately regulated and controlled. In 2012, 63 commercially available omega-3 fatty acid supplements in South Africa were tested.

ONLY 52% HAD ACCURATELY LABELLED THE EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID (EPA) CONTENT (A FATTY ACID).

MORE THAN 80% OF SUPPLEMENTS HAD PEROXIDE LEVELS HIGHER THAN THE RECOMMENDED CONTENT.

44% OF SUPPLEMENTS WERE FOUND TO BE IN EARLY STAGES OF RANCIDITY.

WHY SUPPLEMENT YOUR DIET?
