WHAT IS A FISH OIL?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A fish oil is a source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are known as \u201cessential\u201d fatty acids. The term \u201cessential\u201d means that they can\u2019t be made in sufficient amounts by our body so we have to get them from our diet as they are vital for health. The two most important types of Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish oils are DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). These are only ever known as DHA and EPA so don\u2019t worry about the long names!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. DHA is important for normal vision. DHA is proven to support normal vision (2).<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  4. Omega 3 fats can help absorb important nutrients such as the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. These vitamins also provide health benefits as part of a varied diet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
