Omega-3 Primer

Do you want to make sense of omega-3 fatty acids?

Omega-3 fatty acids, also known as omega-3’s or n-3’s, are a type of fatty acid found in foods. They gradually improve health when consumed at minimum recommended levels and noticeably enhance cardiovascular, joint, brain and immune health when consumed at doses proven effective through scientific research (also known as the therapeutic dose).
