What is Omega-3 Fatty Acid? : Seven Seas

Oil from fish contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Both are Omega-3 fatty acids which help maintain healthy blood triglyceride levels.

The Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil help to balance Omega-6 fatty acids, which are found mostly in vegetable oils. When these two groups of fatty acids are out of balance, it is more likely to release chemicals that promote inflammation.

EPA and DHA can be found in mackerel, salmon, herring, sardines, sablefish (black cod), anchovies, albacore tuna and wild game. Cod Liver Oil and Cod Liver Oil supplements also contain large amounts of EPA and DHA.
