What are Omega 3 Fatty Acids?
Omega 3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that occur naturally in certain foods such as nuts and fish. The omega 3’s in this Ultra Omega supplement by NOW Foods are made of EPA and DHA, both of which are beneficial in a variety of ways. Eicosapentaenoic acid EPA is an important omega 3 fatty acid that has been extensively researched. The results suggest that EPA may significantly reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Docosahexaenoic acid DHA is a vital component in the structure of the brain, skin, and retina of the eyes. Both EPA and DHA can be synthesized from ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) or derived from fish oil and some forms of edible algae.
