Omega-3

Omega 3s are essential fatty acids that our bodies can't produce, and for that reason, we need to ensure we are including a source of this nutrient in our diets. These fatty acids help support our heart and brain health, and they work to keep our overall nervous system and cellular health in check.

There are several sources of omega 3-fatty acids: fish oils, krill oils, plant-based oils, flax oil, algae, and more. Foods such as walnuts, chia seeds, and flax seeds are all sources of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which is the precursor to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaneonoic acid (DHA).
