Carlson Olive Your Heart'--Blending Award-Winning Omega-3s and Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Carlson is renowned for their high-quality, award-winning omega-3 nutritional supplements, and now they're available in a premium olive oil. Carlson Olive Your Heart, an industry first, blending premium Terra Creta extra virgin olive oil from the heart of Crete, Greece with the most beneficial omega-3s, EPA and DHA, from deep, cold-water fish. It's mild and smooth, and is available in natural flavor or with a delicate hint of lemon, basil, or garlic.

Extra virgin olive oil from high-quality olives naturally contains important antioxidants, called polyphenols. Like other antioxidants, polyphenols help fight oxidative stress and promote inflammation balance.* Carlson recommends 1 tablespoon of Olive Your Heart daily for optimal nutritional benefits.

A single serving of Olive Your Heart also offers a healthy dose of the important omega-3s EPA and DHA. Omega-3s are one of the most researched nutrients in the world, with more than 30,000 scientific studies demonstrating their importance at every stage of life. They're found mainly in marine fish and play an important role in heart, brain, vision, and joint health.*

In order to receive the recommended amount of omega-3s for optimal health benefits, the American Heart Association suggests we eat at least two 3.5-ounce servings of salmon per week. Since most Americans don't get this amount from diet alone, Carlson Olive Your Heart is a delicious, heart-smart option.

Carlson Olive Your Heart also naturally provides the omega-9 oleic acid (a staple of the Mediterranean diet). Omega-9 supports inflammation balance, and promotes immune and cardiovascular system health.* When our body has enough omega-3s and omega-6, it can produce omega-9. However, if we don't have enough omega-3s and omega-6, then we must get omega-9 from our diet.

For a delicious, premium olive oil that packs the powerful punch of polyphenols and sneaks in the health benefits of omega-3s and omega-9, choose Carlson Olive Your Heart.
