Omega-3 fatty acids are essential healthy fats that play a major role in heart health, brain function, joint support, and overall inflammation control. Since your body cannot produce omega-3s naturally, you must get them through food or supplements.


The three main types are:

  • EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) – supports heart health

  • DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) – supports brain and eye function

  • ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid) – found in plant sources, converted in small amounts to EPA/DHA


Benefits of Omega-3

  • Reduces inflammation (great for recovery)

  • Supports joint health and mobility

  • Improves heart health

  • Boosts brain function & cognitive performance

  • Supports mood, stress, and hormone balance

  • Helps reduce muscle soreness after training


Best Sources of Omega-3

  • Salmon

  • Tuna

  • Sardines

  • Mackerel

  • Fish oil supplements

  • Algae oil (vegan source)


Who Should Take Omega-3?

Omega-3 is especially helpful for:

  • Athletes wanting better recovery

  • People with joint stiffness

  • Individuals under stress

  • Anyone who doesn’t eat fatty fish regularly

  • Those wanting heart & brain support
