As we age, our body loses a portion of its DNA, where the telomeres is found. While these telomeres keeps getting shorter and shorter, so is our body, it continuous to age. With the presence of omega-3s, these telomeres are preserved, making the aging process slower. Contributing to a healthier and younger you.
