Summary

Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) are long-chain fats found in fish and algae that become part of cell membranes and give rise to anti-inflammatory and cardiometabolic signaling molecules. They are commonly used to support cardiovascular health, lower triglycerides, and provide a foundation for people who rarely eat fatty fish. Product quality and oxidation status vary widely between brands.
