Omega 3 Fish Oils

Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids. They are essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body.
Omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function as well as normal growth and development.
Extensive research indicates that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent risk factors associated with chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and arthritis.
There are three major types of omega-3 fatty acids that are ingested in foods and used by the body: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
The body converts ALA to EPA and DHA, the two types of omega-3 fatty acids more readily used by the body. These essential fatty acids are highly concentrated in the brain and appear to be particularly important for cognitive (brain memory and performance) and behavioral function.
