What is Omega-3
Omega-3" is a term for a group of fatty acids.Omega-3 fatty acids are essential compounds in our bodies, but as for vitamins, the body cannot produce these itself and they have to be included in our diet
Omega-3s have many functions in our body, both as building blocks in the cells and as precursors in signal transmitting in many processes in the body.
The omega-3 fatty acids include ALA (Alpha Linolenic Acid) is the shortest Omega-3 and we commonly get this one from plants and vegetable oils. The long chain fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are produced by the algaes in the oceans and because the fish feed on the algaes these fatty acids are stored in the fish fat. Because these fatty acids are found from sources in the ocean, these are often called marine Omega-3s.
Omega-3 is not just Omega-3
Omega-3s from the plant kingdom are shorter in length than the marine EPA and DHA. Because they are different in their nature, they have different effects in our bodies. The activity of EPA and DHA in our bodies has been the focus of many studies during the last 25-30 years and the accumulated evidence for the beneficial effects of the marine omega-3 fatty acids is constantly increasing. These studies have shown that EPA and DHA have beneficial effect in heart health, and for example can substantially reduce the risk of a fatal heart attack. These are also important in the stabilisation of our immunes system and important for development and maintenance of the brain functioning.
