The beneficial ingredients of natural essentials Omega 3 Pure Fish Oil Capsules are two essentials fatty acids. DHA & EPA. We can make these in our body to some degree, but nutritionists believe that our production of these may not always be very efficient.
DHA is an Omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid that is the primary building block of the brain. DHA is the most abundant fat in the brain and retina and essential for optimum function of both. Its primary source is eggs, animal organs and 'fatty' fish such as Mackerel. EPA is also an Omega-3 fatty acid found mainly in fish, certain vegetables, flaxseed and walnut oil. These oils are proven to lower blood pressure, the risk of Cardiovascular disease and also help good joint function. Most people are deficient in both as food today contain insufficient DHA & EPA.
