The essentials

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.

With care

Why are they important?

In line with the health claims authorised in the European Union:

EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart; DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function; DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.

These effects are linked to the amounts consumed and to the conditions set for each authorised claim.
