Are you getting enough omega-3?

The EFSA recommends a daily intake of 250mg of EPA and DHA, but the global intake is below that recommendation in most countries (Sioen et al., 2017). Omega-3 fatty acids are a vital part of all cells in your body, and are especially beneficial for heart, brain and eye health.

The best sources of EPA and DHA are oily fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, and herring. You should aim to eat two portions of oily fish a week. If you don’t like fish, or don’t consume two portions of oily fish a week, you could benefit from taking a supplement with omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, like Wellosophy Omega 3.

*The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of EPA and DHA. **The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA.

Are you getting your omega-3s?

Omega-3 fatty acids are a vital part of all the cells in our body. They are important for our health and essential parts of different bodily processes.

There are three types of omega-3 fatty acids – ALA, EPA, and DHA.

• ALA (alpha linoleic acid) comes from plant sources including flaxseeds, walnuts, chia seeds, rapeseed oil, hemp, and soy.
• EPA and DHA can come from either animal or plant sources including oily fish, krill, algae, seaweed, shellfish, egg yolks, and some dairy products.

While all three are important to our health, and essential nutrients to include in our diet, EPA and DHA provide the most direct health benefits (Oregon State University, 2021).

• Higher intakes of omega-3 fatty acids show beneficial effects on heart health and its function (Djuricic & Calder, 2021).

• DHA is the most abundant omega-3 in your brain and plays a critical role in its function. (Schaefer et al., 2006).
• The retina of the eye contains high concentrations of DHA, important for vision and other functions within the eye (Giannaccare et al., 2019).
• Omega-3s are beneficial for skin heath as they help fight inflammation and have been shown to improve the skin’s lipid barrier (McCusker & Grant-Kels, 2010).
