Fish oil is made up of two types of Omega-3 fatty acids: EPA and DHA. These contribute to the maintenance of normal heart, vision and brain function. The body does not produce Omega-3 therefore it must be obtained from eating foods such as oily fish, or by taking supplements.
A balanced ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 is recommended and as the average diet in the UK is high in Omega 6 (e.g. red meat and eggs), supplementing with Omega 3 is important to balance this ratio. Omega 3 is anti-inflammatory and can help reduce triglycerides, blood pressure and lower your risk of diabetes. Studies have also found that people who regularly consume Omega 3 have lower rates of depression and anxiety, as well as improved sleep quality. In addition, supplementing with Vitamin E together with Omega-3 may help to control inflammation and work in combination to improve skin health.
Different types of Omega supplements
