Omega-3 fatty acids are something that most people lack in their diet. Especially in Ukraine, where fish is not a staple of the diet. This supplement has dozens of scientifically confirmed effects.
Benefits of Omega-3
- Heart — lowers triglycerides, supports vascular health
- Joints — reduces inflammation and pain
- Brain — improves cognitive functions and memory
- Skin — hydrates from within, reduces acne
- Mood — helps with depression and anxiety
EPA vs DHA — what's the difference?
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) — main anti-inflammatory effect. Better for joints and heart.
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) — main component of the brain and retina. Better for cognitive functions.
The ideal is a supplement with both in a ratio of 2:1 (EPA:DHA) or 1:1.
How to choose a quality Omega-3?
- Look for EPA+DHA, not just general "fish oil". You need 1000-2000 mg of EPA+DHA per day
- Form — triglycerides (TG) are better absorbed than ethyl esters (EE)
- Brand — Solgar, Nordic Naturals, Now Foods — trusted manufacturers
- Freshness — quality fish oil should not smell fishy
