Omega-3 / Fish Oil

What Is Omega-3?

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats your body can’t make on its own. The two that matter for health are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). You get them from fatty fish, fish oil supplements, or algal oil.

Fish oil is one of the most popular supplements in the world. It’s also one of the most studied. We reviewed data from over 200 randomized controlled trials across 4 major health claims.
