Why Omega-3 is important for the body?
Our body is a very powerful, unique and complex machine. Omega-3 fatty acids are one of the supportive foods that our body needs to function smoothly. However, since our body cannot produce omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA or DHA*, we have to consume them regularly through food or dietary supplements. (*The body can produce at least small amounts of EPA/DHA from ALA itself.)
What does Omega-3 help me with?
Omega-3 fatty acids support your body with important nutrients such as EPA or DHA. EPA & DHA have both been shown to help maintain various body functions: DHA has been shown to help maintain our brain function and vision (as long as 250 mg of DHA is consumed daily). DHA and EPA also contribute to normal
Heart function (but for this too, 250 mg of DHA and EPA must be consumed daily for the effect to occur). A balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle are also important.Why should we use Omega-3?
