Omega 3
Omega 3
Omega-3s are like the oil that keeps your body’s engine running smoothly. They work by keeping your cell membranes flexible, which allows nutrients and signals to move in and out efficiently. This helps your heart pump more easily, your brain cells communicate clearly, and your joints stay cushioned. Omega-3s also calm inflammation at the cellular level, protecting your body from long-term wear and tear.
Does it really work?
Omega-3s are among the most well-researched nutrients. Strong evidence shows they lower triglycerides, protect heart health, reduce inflammation, and support brain and eye function. EPA has solid data for mood and joint support, while DHA is proven vital for brain and vision.
Can I get enough in real food?
Yes — mainly from fatty fish like salmon, sardines, and mackerel, which provide EPA and DHA directly. Plant foods such as flax, chia, and walnuts offer ALA, but your body only converts a small fraction into the active forms. If you don’t eat fish regularly, it can be hard to reach optimal levels from diet alone.
Do I need a supplement for everyday health?
Because most people don’t eat fatty fish several times per week, an Omega-3 supplement is often the most reliable way to support heart, brain, eye, and joint health.
