Selenium: an antioxidant, considered an essential trace element in the human diet, with an established recommended dietary allowance by Health Canada.

Selenium: a dietary antioxidant involved in the formation of a protein that defends against oxidative stress.

DHA EPA Omega-3 Fatty Acids: since lack of these fatty acids leads to deficiency symptoms and they can only be obtained from the diet, they are essential dietary nutrients.

DHA Omega-3: supports normal physical development of the brain, eyes and nerves.

For information on a significant amount of compelling human health research on DHA Omega-3, please visit www.heartandstroke.ca and www.dhaomega3.org.

Willowgrove Hill has eliminated the need for antibiotics in their product. Reducing the use of antibiotics helps to diminish the growing threat of antibiotic resistance in humans. It is also better for the environment, as it stops antibiotics from entering surface and ground water.

We encourage you to learn more about the health benefits of Omega-3 and organic Selenium from the experts: your family doctor, Health Canada or the Canadian Medical Association.
