About Omega 3

What is Omega-3?

Omega-3 is a fatty acid found in fish oil that lowers your risk of heart attack and stroke, and boosts the immune system.

Omega 3 provides two essential fatty acids - EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid ) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). EPA and DHA are naturally found in certain cold-water fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel. They can also be derived in the body from alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is an Omega-3 found in certain seeds and plant-based oils.

Omega 3 Fish Oil is without doubt one of the most essential supplements for people wishing to maintain overall good health. The benefits of Omega 3 stem from the presence of 2 essential fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Our bodies cannot produce these acids naturally, so, unless our diet has a high content of oily fish such as mackerel and herring, we won't get enough of them.

A simple and practical way to ensure that the body's requirements are met is to take a Omega 3 capsule or liquid every day. The fish oil is delivered directly into the digestive system, without the fishy smell or taste.

Where can Omega-3 be found?

Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish, such as salmon, tuna, and halibut, other marine life such as algae and krill, certain plants (including purslane), and nut oils.
