OMEGA-3 SUPPLEMENT

Omega-3 fatty acid which is a polyunsaturated animal oil, is not produced and stored in our body, so we need to take as an external nutrient. Seafoods are rich sources of Omega-3 (used as fish oil in the literature) and they are known as fish oil by society. There are many available Omega-3 fatty acids. The most important and most known Omega-3 fatty acids are EPA, DHA, ALA. While EPA and DHA are found especially in animal foods, ALA is found in plants that contain high amounts of fat. In order for ALA to be effective in the human body, it needs EPA and DHA.
