Omega-3
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to us, as our bodies do not manufacture them. It is therefore vital that we receive omega-3 fatty acids in foods or food supplements. Seafood in general contains high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, people with a low fish diet can therefore compensate by taking fish oil supplements.
Extensive research has been conducted worldwide on the health-promoting benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA on various forms of disease, such as coronary heart disease, mental disorders, rheumatism and arthritis.
Omega-3 fish oil is reported to have positive effects on mental health. Moreover, omega-3 fish oil is thought to play a vital role in the development of the brain and central nervous system.
A great deal of research has been done on the influence of omega-3 fatty acids, especially EPA and DHA, and the results have been published in prominent scientific journals worldwide. The positive effects of omega-3 acids are also regularly reported on in the media.
Omega-3 does not contain vitamins A or D and can therefore be safely taken with cod liver oil supplements containing those vitamins.
