We rely on food as our source of Omega-3 fatty acids, while they're essential for optimal health, our bodies can't make them. You’ll also see Omega-3 called ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid).

Omega-3 contains 2 special compounds:

• EPA - Eicosapentaenoic acid
• DHA - Docosahexaenoic acid

Omega 3 Fish Oil contains high concentrations of EPA and DHA, the two special compounds used directly by the human body. Food sources of EPA and DHA are primarily oily fish (salmon, sardines, trout) but also shrimp, oysters and other shellfish.

Omega 3 Fish Oil or Krill Oil supplementation is a reliable way of ensuring every day optimal intake of EPA and DHA for general health and well-being.

Vegan source of omega-3

Omega-3 can also be found in plant-based sources.

• Algae oil is the vegan source of DHA.

Plant-based sources primarily provide ALA as source of omega-3. Once ingested, ALA is partially converted into EPA and DHA to make it available for use within the body. Vegan sources of omega-3 ALA include:

• Hemp seeds and Hemp Seed Oil
• Flaxseeds and Flaxseed Oil
• Chia seeds
• Walnuts
