Why get omega-3 from fish oil?
Omega-3 fatty acids can be derived from other sources, such as flaxseed oil, but they need to first be metabolised in the body in order to create EPA and DHA. This process has been demonstrated to be very inefficient, and it is therefore considerably more effective to take in EPA and DHA in the form of omega-3 fatty acids derived from fatty fish.

Why omega-3s are essential
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are classified as essential nutrients because they perform crucial functions in the body. Due to the body's limited ability to synthesise them, it is imperative to obtain Omega-3s from the foods we eat or through supplementation.
Recognised as vital for human health, it is well-established that EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) must be included in a normal, healthy diet. These essential fatty acids play a significant role in supporting the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as the musculoskeletal, immune, and gastrointestinal systems. Furthermore, they are essential for maintaining the functionality of cell membranes throughout the body, particularly in the retina, brain, and heart.
