Description

Omega-3 fish oil supplements provide EPA and DHA, two essential fatty acids with strong evidence for cardiovascular health, inflammation reduction, and mental health support. Most adults benefit from 1-2g combined EPA+DHA daily. Triglyceride-form fish oil absorbs 70% better than ethyl ester form. Always check for third-party oxidation testing.

EPA (Eicosatetraenoic acid): Primarily associated with anti-inflammatory effects and cardiovascular benefits. It competes with arachidonic acid (an omega-6) for incorporation into cell membranes and produces anti-inflammatory mediators called resolving and protecting.

DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid): Essential for brain structure, visual function, and neurological health. It comprises approximately 40% of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the brain and 60% in the retina. DHA is critical for brain development, cognitive function, and visual acuity.

Omega-3 supplementation helps restore balance, promoting a pro-inflammatory state that is implicated in cardiovascular disease, autoimmune conditions, and mental health disorders
