FAQ's for Omega-3

• What are Omega-3 fatty acids, and why are they important?

  Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that the body cannot produce on its own. The most well-known types are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are found in fish oil. They support heart health, brain function, eye health, joint mobility, and help manage inflammation.

• What are the best sources of Omega-3s?

  Omega-3s are most commonly found in fatty fish (like salmon, sardines, mackerel), fish oil supplements, and algal oil (a vegan source of DHA). Plant-based sources like flaxseed and chia contain ALA, which the body can convert to EPA/DHA, but only in small amounts.

• How much Omega-3 should I take daily?

  General recommendations suggest 250–500 mg of EPA + DHA per day for healthy adults. Higher doses may be beneficial for specific conditions (like joint stiffness or high triglycerides), but always follow product directions or consult a healthcare provider.

• What’s the difference between fish oil and Omega-3?

  Fish oil is a source of Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly EPA and DHA. Omega-3 refers to the actual nutrients, while fish oil is the carrier. High-quality fish oil supplements are purified and concentrated to deliver effective Omega-3 levels.

• Can Omega-3 help with brain and mood health?

  Yes. DHA is a major structural fat in the brain and supports cognitive function, focus, and memory. EPA may help reduce inflammation linked to mood imbalances, and studies suggest Omega-3s may support a healthy mood and emotional balance.
