What are Omega-3 fatty acids?

Omega-3 visolie supplementThe 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).

Omega-3 fatty acids for your health

The active ingredients in fish and krill oil are the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function and are good for blood pressure. DHA is good for vision and supports brain function. Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) contributes to maintaining normal blood cholesterol levels.
