Why are all the Omega-3s important?

Omega-3s are a family of unsaturated fatty acids that are important components of cell membranes. The most common Omega-3s are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) all of which have important functions in the body.

ALA is the only essential Omega-3, meaning the human body cannot product ALA - it must be obtained from dietary sources. ALA is crucial for maintaining cardiovascular health and can reduce the risk of diabetes or cancer. EPA and DHA are primarily found in cold-water fish, like mackerel, tuna or salmon and they can be produced in the body from ALA. EPA supports cardiovascular health, and DHA plays a key role in infant and brain development.
