Omega3 fatty acids
Omega 3
Important Omega 3 fatty acids in nutrition are: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA is synthesized from ALA, and DHA is then synthesized from EPA. Both EPA and DHA are the functional forms of Omega 3, and are classed as non-essential fatty acids because they can be synthesized in the body. Cold water fish such as salmon and herring are good sources of the Omega 3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Other sources include flaxseed, rape seeds, walnuts, grains, legumes, and green leafy vegetables.
