Omega-3 fatty acids

What are omega-3 fatty acids?
Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids. The best-known types of omega-3 fatty acids are α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Since our bodies can only produce small amounts of the latter types of acid, EPA and DHA, themselves, we must make sure we get more of them through our diet.
