Omega-3 is an essential nutrient. This means that our body cannot produce this fatty acid itself and therefore depends on us consuming it through food.

Omega-3 fatty acids lower blood pressure, clotting factor and blood lipid levels and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and sudden heart failure.

They also contribute to the formation of vasodilating tissue hormones, to increasing the fluidity of cell membranes and to optimizing blood circulation properties.

Omega-3 also helps prevent depression, promotes overall emotional well-being, improves immune system response, and may help reduce symptoms in people suffering from chronic rheumatoid arthritis pain.
