Fish Oil Supplements, Fish Oil Pills, EFAs, Essential Omega Fish Oils and Flaxseed Oil Blends

Fish oil supplements have Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs), a type of polyunsaturated fats referred to as “good fats”. They include Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats, found primarily in cold-water fish, flax seeds and certain vegetable oils, and they are considered essential because the human body cannot produce them on its own. In addition to supporting the structure and function of every cell in the body, EFAs help lubricate the colon and promote gastrointestinal health. Although not considered essential (as the body can produce limited amounts on its own) Omega-9 fats are also important, as they have been shown to support the immune system and promote a healthy inflammatory response in the body. While each is important to our overall health, the typical American diet is most deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids. The World Health Organization recommends at least 2 grams of Omega-3 oils per day, which is consistent with Brenda Watson's H.O.P.E. Formula. Because the body does not produce these beneficial fats, the only way to get them is through diet or dietary supplementation through concentrated fish oil supplements. Two types of Omega-3 oils you may be familiar with are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Other than some types of fresh kelp, plant foods rarely contain EPA or DHA. By contrast, a third Omega-3 oil, ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), is found primarily in dark-green, leafy vegetables and flaxseed oil, and is easier to include in your diet.
