What are Omega-3 fatty acids?
The group of omega-3 fatty acids include the fatty acids ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
Alpha-linolenic acid is an essential fatty acid (cannot be produced by our bodies) and is found in large quantities in, for example, flaxseed oil. From alpha-linolenic acid the body can make the fatty acids EPA and DHA, but these can also be obtained from fatty fish or fish oil supplements (krill oil, Cod Liver Oil).
