Omega-3 is an unsaturated fatty acid that our body needs to take in through the diet. Praised as one of the most important nutrients for overall body health, supporting normal function of the heart1, brain and eyes2 – there’s a reason this fatty acid is called essential.
There are several types of Omega-3; the most well-known are EPA, DHA and ALA. EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) can mainly be found in foods such as oily fish, while the ALA (Alpha-linolenic Acid is often found in plant sources like seeds, some nuts, kale, spinach and soybeans. Because our bodies don’t produce Omega-3 on their own, it’s important that we consume it in our diet. These important fats are needed by the body to ensure vital organs function normally.
From supporting the normal function of the heart[1] to playing an important role in the normal working of the brain and eyes[2], Omega-3 offers numerous health benefits.
