Omega-3 fatty acids consist of a group of three important fatty acids that may provide essential health benefits, such as brain and eye support, along with supporting cardiovascular health.* The body does not produce a significant amount of omega-3 fatty acids, so they need to be obtained through diet or supplements.
The three types of omega-3 fatty acids include:
- Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
ALA is mostly present in plant oils, nuts, and leafy vegetables. EPA and DHA are mainly found in cold-water fatty fish like salmon, tuna, sardines, and mackerel.
Now that we know a bit about omega-3s, here’s a few of their benefits:
Cardiovascular health*
