Fish oil is a natural source of the omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid). These are considered essential because they cannot be produced by the body and must be supplied through the diet. Every living cell in the body needs essential fatty acids, however unfortunately the modern diet is generally low in omega-3 fatty acids, which may contribute to some conditions within the body.
The health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids from fish are well documented and include cardiovascular system support, anti-inflammatory properties and the maintenance of a healthy brain. In fact, it is becoming increasingly evident that omega-3 fatty acids are important throughout the whole human lifecycle. Finding out whether you are achieving your optimal Omega-3 intake is as important start.
