More Fruits and Vegetables is a Whole Lot Better

To keep the heart healthy it is recommended to have five servings of fruits and vegetables per day (about two-and-a-half cups). It appears if you routinely eat this amount you have a slightly lower risk of heart attack and stroke. Eat more the daily recommended amounts to 10 servings per day and you might lower your risk of cardiovascular disease by 28% according to a study published Feb. 22, 2017 by the International Journal of Epidemiology.

Fish Oil
Third-party tested for purity



  • High concentration of EPA & DHA
  • More omega-3’s for your money
  • Product of Canada


  • Not all Fish Oils are Created EqualThe benefits of including additional Omega-3’s to your diet are well known. However, unless you’re taking a high quality supplement, you may be better off not taking one at all. In this case, what you don’t know could hurt your wallet and your health.

    Your Wallet

    The amount you pay for a bottle of fish oil can be deceptive. It’s not how much a bottle costs, but rather the amount you pay for 1,000 mg of the health-promoting ingredients EPA and DHA contained in the oil. If you look at our comparison, you’ll see that ultra-pure Life's Abundance Fish Oil represents one of the best values on the market today. In addition, you’ll also notice that our fish oils also contain sesame lignans and astaxanthin, two key ingredients that enhance the health-promoting qualities of fish oil.

    Your Health

    In its unpurified form, fish oil contains many contaminants, some of which can be harmful to your health. To purify the oil takes many steps, each one adding to the cost of manufacturing. It is important to buy your fish oil from a company that not only says it purifies the oil, but one that is willing to share the results from every batch made with you, so you can know you and your family are safe.

    The Solution

    Life's Abundance omega-3 fish oil supplements are highly concentrated and ultra pure and they meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry for quality assurance. In fact, each and every batch of Life's Abundance Fish Oil is tested by an independent third party organization (IFOS) and the results are posted right here so you can see the quality, concentration and purity that ultra-pure fish oil supplements can offer you and your family.



    To get even more fruits and vegetables in your daily diet try Life's Abundance Greens Blend and the Mineral and Antioxidant Drink

    Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.

    We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.

    Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants drink mix is a delicious way to supplement your diet.

    This unique mix is made with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health.

    Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.

    Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy.

    Give hydration a boost with Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants. In two delicious flavors, Cherry and Tropical Fruit, pour into a water bottle for a convenient, go-anywhere nutritious drink. Take it to the gym or give a bottle to the kids … it’s delicious, refreshing and nourishing!

    Our Greens Blend nourishes your body with a blend of raw, certified-organic grasses plus certified, organic mushrooms.

    Our organic raw greens are grown in glacial soil and cut at peak harvest before the jointing stage, so you're getting the best quality greens. Because they are raw, they retain more nutrients than cooked greens.

    To boost this formula’s nutrient value, we added a certified organic blend of reishi, maitake, and shitake mushrooms to provide a vegetarian source of iron and B vitamins, and also a great source of phytonutrients and antioxidants.

    Life’s Abundance Greens Blend has a delicious-yet-subtle berry flavor and silky smooth texture. It mixes easily with water or into your favorite smoothie. It is one of the best tasting GMO-free greens blends on the market and leaves no "grassy" aftertaste.

    At only 25 calories per serving, this nutrient dense supplement is a simple way to help you consume the recommended 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables daily.
