Omega-3s are a group of essential fatty acids that play a major role in heart, brain, metabolic, and immune health. “Essential” means your body can’t make them, so you have to get them from food or supplements. Omega-3s are foundational nutrients for cardiovascular and metabolic health, especially in people with inflammation, insulin resistance, or elevated triglycerides.
The 3 Main Types of Omega-3s
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid)
Found in fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel)
Strong anti-inflammatory effects
Supports heart health, triglyceride reduction, and vascular function
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)
Also found in fatty fish and algae
Critical for brain, eye, and nervous system health
Supports heart rhythm and blood vessel integrity
ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid)
Found in plant foods (flax, chia, walnuts)
Must be converted to EPA/DHA (conversion is limited)
