Joint Ventures sells Barlean’s Organic Oils at each office for $15.00/8 oz bottle.
Barlean’s Organic Oils are an omega fatty acid that comes in 3 great flavors: Orange Swirl, Lemon Zest and Banana Strawberry. These liquid fish oils and flaxseed oils can be added to other liquids, mixed into hot cereals or smoothies, or even taken right off a spoon! Omega 3 fatty acids are an essential (must be obtained through diet) fatty acid that contain two compounds, DHA and EPA. These compounds have been found to improve brain and immune system function while decreasing risk of certain cancers, heart disease and inflammation. Omega 3 fatty acids can also be found in cold-water fish (specifically wild salmon), walnuts, avocados, macademia and flaxseed.
Joint Ventures also sells cold, pressed Coconut Oil from Barlean’s Organic Oils at each office for $15.00/16 oz jar.
Coconut Oil is a wholesome food getting quite a bit of press lately. The Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) present in coconut oil can be digested and used for immediate energy, as opposed to other fats that are digested and typically stored as fat until needed for energy production. Additional benefits include improved heart health, favorable impact on cholesterol panels, and anti-oxidative and regenerative properties that contribute to improving skin, nails and hair.
