Types of Omega-3 and Their Benefits
ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) – Found in plant sources (flaxseeds, walnuts, rapeseed oil) and contributes to cardiovascular health through its anti-inflammatory effects.
EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) – Present in fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel), helps reduce triglycerides, and supports the immune system.
DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) – Essential for brain and retinal health, as it is a structural component of cell membranes.
