What are omega 3s?
Omega 3s are a family of fatty acids that form part of a balanced diet. The best known are ALA, EPA and DHA.
ALA is mainly found in certain plant foods, while EPA and DHA are found above all in oily fish and some food supplements.
The body needs these nutrients, but a good choice depends on your diet, your personal needs and the product used.
ALA
Found in walnuts, chia seeds and flax seeds, among others.
EPA
Mainly found in oily fish and fish oils.
DHA
Found in oily fish and certain food supplements.
Why are they important?
In line with the health claims authorised in the European Union:
These effects are linked to the amounts consumed and to the conditions set for each authorised claim.
Omega 3 in your diet
A varied diet always remains the starting point. Common sources of omega 3 include salmon, sardines, mackerel, walnuts and chia or flax seeds.
The amount and type of omega 3 can vary considerably between foods.
