We all need omega 3 fatty acids in our diet for sustained physical and mental health. Research indicates that omega 3 fatty acids may help reduce the risk and symptoms of a variety of disorders. Omega 3 fatty acids can lower triglyceride levels, increase HDL cholesterol, help minimize inflammation and blood clotting, and keep blood vessels healthy. These fatty acids are found primarily in oily fish that live in deep, cold water, such as salmon, mackerel, black cod, sardines, and herring. Omega 3 fatty acids derived from molecularly distilled fish oils are naturally high in both EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). EPA supports heart health. DHA makes up membranes of nerve cells in the brain and is thought to play an important role in normal brain development and function.
