Omega-3

The Brain Fat

EPA + DHA

  • Fatty Acid
  • Heart & Circulation
  • Cognition

The fats your brain and eyes are partly built from.

Omega-3 fatty acids (mainly EPA and DHA, from fish) are building blocks the body can't make in useful amounts on its own. They are firmly established for lowering triglycerides, while the popular "fish oil protects your heart" claim has largely not held up in large trials.
