Omega-3 fatty acid are polyunsaturated essential fats required for optimal physiological function. The three primary types include: • ALA (α-linolenic acid): Found primarily in plant foods. • EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid): Predominantly marine-based. • DHA (docosahexaenoic acid): Predominantly marine-based; structurally important for the brain and retina. HEALTH BENEFITS -Cardiovascular Health • Reduces serum triglyceride levels • Supports blood pressure regulation • May decrease risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease • Contributes to improved vascular function -Neurological and Cognitive Function • DHA is essential for brain development during pregnancy and early childhood • Supports cognitive performance and memory in adults • Associated with reduced risk of neurodegenerative disorders • May aid in management of depression and anxiety symptoms. Anti-Inflammatory Effects • Helps reduce systemic inflammation • Beneficial in inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis -Ocular Health • DHA is a major structural component of the retina • Adequate intake may reduce risk of age-related macular degeneration and support overall visual function.Dermatological Benefits • Supports skin barrier function and hydration • May reduce inflammation associated with acne, eczema, and psoriasis - Pregnancy and Infant Development • Critical for fetal brain and eye development • Associated with improved cognitive outcomes in infants.
