Let’s get right to the point:
If you’re not already taking a high-quality omega-3 supplement, there’s a very good chance you’re missing one of the most powerful tools available to support:
- Hormone health
- Brain function
- Mood stability
- Inflammation control
- Heart health
- Skin, hair, and joint resilience
At Antigravity Wellness, omega-3s are one of our foundational supplements—right alongside a quality multivitamin, Vitamin D3/K2, and magnesium. Nearly every client we see is either deficient in omega-3s or simply not getting enough through diet alone.
And that’s why we recommend nearly everyone get started on one—especially if you’re over 35 and experiencing symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, joint pain, brain fog, or cycle-related inflammation.
Let’s break down why they matter, how to take them, and our favorite omega-3 supplement to recommend.
What Are Omega-3s—and Why Do They Matter?
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats—meaning your body cannot make them on its own, and they must come from food or supplementation.
The two most important forms are:
- EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) – reduces inflammation, supports mood, heart, and hormone balance
- DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) – supports brain health, memory, focus, and cellular repair
These fatty acids are key players in:
- Reducing systemic inflammation
- Supporting healthy hormone production
- Regulating mood and stress response
- Improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar balance
- Promoting heart health
- Supporting skin elasticity, hair growth, and joint mobility
A 2020 review in Nutrients highlighted that omega-3s have significant benefits in perimenopausal and postmenopausal women, including improvements in mood, inflammation, cardiovascular markers, and hormone modulation (Serini et al., 2020).
Are You Getting Enough from Food Alone?
Unless you’re eating wild fatty fish (like salmon or sardines) at least 3–4 times per week, chances are—no.
In fact, most women we test are either deficient or suboptimal in omega-3s. The Standard American Diet is notoriously low in EPA and DHA—and high in inflammatory omega-6 fats (like those from seed oils).
A 2016 study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that 95% of adults in the U.S. fail to meet recommended omega-3 intake, with women over 40 being among the most affected.
Why We Recommend Omega-3s to Almost Every Client
At Antigravity Wellness, we use omega-3s to help with:
- Painful, heavy, or inflamed menstrual cycles
- Mood instability or PMDD
- Autoimmune flare-ups and chronic inflammation
- Brain fog or difficulty focusing
- Perimenopausal transition symptoms
- Metabolic issues like insulin resistance or weight loss resistance
- Skin dryness, brittle nails, and dull hair
It’s also one of the first things we reach for when we see:
- Elevated CRP or inflammatory markers
- High triglycerides or lipids
- History of depression, anxiety, or mood disorders
- Low omega-3 index (from labs or intake history)
Our Favorite: Barlean’s Super Omega-3
There are a lot of fish oil supplements on the market—and frankly, many of them taste fishy, go rancid quickly, or upset your stomach. That’s why we recommend: 👉 Barlean’s Super Omega-3
Here’s why we love it:
- Ultra-purified, pharmaceutical-grade omega-3s with high EPA & DHA content
- Available in delicious emulsified liquid form—no fishy burps or aftertaste
- Easier to digest and absorb than traditional softgels
- Comes in yummy flavors like Mango Peach and Citrus Sorbet that clients actually enjoy
- Kid- and husband-approved too 😉
We’ve found that the better the taste, the more likely you are to take it daily—and that consistency makes all the difference.
Barlean’s is available from our Fullscripts dispensary and we’ve also seen it even cheaper at Costco!
When and How to Take It
✔️ Take it with food, ideally one that includes some fat
✔️ Best taken in the morning or midday—but consistency matters more than timing
✔️ Liquid form can be mixed into smoothies or taken straight
✔️ Typical dose: depends on the type and dosing of each serving of EPA and DHA (based on needs and lab markers)
Case Study: Meet “Jamie”
Name changed for privacy
Jamie, 45, came to us with joint stiffness, brain fog, and crushing PMS. She’d been told her labs were “normal,” but she knew something was off.
Her omega-3 intake was almost nonexistent. We didn’t even need fancy labs to know she was deficient.
We started her on:
- Barlean’s Super Omega-3, 1.5 tsp daily
- Magnesium, DIM, and B-complex
- An anti-inflammatory meal plan with hormone-supportive foods
By her second cycle, her PMS had significantly improved. She reported less breast tenderness, better mood stability, and finally felt like her brain “clicked back on.”
“This one supplement has made such a difference—I didn’t realize how inflamed I was until I wasn’t.”
Omega-3s Are Foundational, Not Optional
If you’re still not taking omega-3s—or you’re taking a generic fish oil that leaves you burping up sushi flavor all day—it might be time for an upgrade.
At Antigravity Wellness, omega-3s are one of our non-negotiables because the benefits are that powerful—and the risks of deficiency are too high to ignore.
