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.
