Omega 3 (Fish Oil) is an important nutritional supplement for your body.
The active ingredients in fish oil are essential fatty acids such as EPA and DHA.
These fatty acids together form the well-known Omega-3 fatty acid group.
We call these essential fatty acids because our body needs these substances but does not produce them itself.
Just like vitamin C, for example, which cannot be produced by the body.
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. Long-term deficiency of Omega-3 fatty acids can lead to a range of health problems.
Under ideal conditions, humans can obtain sufficient Omega-3 fatty acids from their diet. Linseed, walnuts, green leafy vegetables and game meat contain the 'vegetable' Omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alpha-linolenic acid).
