What are Omega-3 fatty acids?

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids (the good kind) found in the tissues of fatty fish and in vegetable sources such as flaxseed, hemp seeds, walnuts, and canola oil. Also known as PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids), omega-3s are essential. Fatty acids are the major building blocks of fats, and as such they comprise an important source of cellular energy for the human body. There are three major types of omega-3s: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Is fish oil an omega-3?

Fish and fish oil naturally contains omega-3 fatty acids, most importantly EPA and DHA. The ALA form of omega-3 fatty acid mostly comes from herbal seeds and oils.

It is important to maintain a dietary balance between omega-3 and omega-6, another essential fatty acid. This is because omega-3s help to offset some of the negative effects of omega-6s, which can affect overall health and wellness. Unfortunately, the typical American diet contains up to 25 times more omega-6s than omega-3s, and this is one reason sensible supplementation can be important.

What is the recommended amount of omega-3 per day?

The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming about 8 ounces per week of a variety of seafood, providing an average of 250 milligrams per day of EPA and DHA, for general heart health.1*

More than 90% of U.S. adults don’t get enough of EPA and DHA omega-3s from fish to meet current recommendations for cardiovascular health.2,3

Because of the vast body of scientific evidence, the American Heart Association and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services have aligned in making recommendations for fatty fish intake, along with achieving a balanced diet and an active lifestyle, for reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Supportive but not conclusive research shows that the consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. For information regarding dosage of omega-3 fatty acids, see the supplements facts panel on your product label.
