🧬 What are Omega-3s?
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that the body needs but cannot produce on its own. The most important are:
- EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) – powerful anti-inflammatory effect
- DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) – extremely important for the brain and vision
- ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid) – plant form, partially converted into EPA and DHA
❤️ What are the benefits of Omega-3?
✅ Maintains a healthy heart and blood vessels
✅ Reduces inflammation in the body
✅ Improve brain function, concentration and mood
✅ Supports joints and flexibility
✅ Strengthens the immune system
✅ Improves the condition of skin, hair and vision
✅ Positively affect hormonal balance , especially in women
⚠️ What happens with Omega-3 deficiency?
- chronic inflammations
- dry skin and brittle nails
- decreased concentration and memory
- joint pain
- bad cholesterol and increased risk of heart problems
🐟 Main sources of Omega-3
| Source | EPA/DHA (mg per 100 g) |
|---|---|
| Salmon | ~2,200 mg |
| Sardines | ~1,500 mg |
| Mackerel | ~2,000 mg |
| Fish oil (supplement) | up to 1,000 mg per capsule |
| Flaxseed (ALA) | ~2,300 mg per 1 tbsp. |
❗ ALA from plant sources is only partially converted into active forms – therefore fish oil remains the most effective source.
