Health Benefits
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential to our health, since they play a major role in the development of cognitive functions and in health maintenance. Well-documented research supports benefits of EPA and DHA in heart, brain and cognitive health, and in pre-natal brain and eye development. Scientific evidence supports benefits from omega-3 consumption throughout all life stages, for pregnant women, children, adults and the elderly.
EPA and DHA have also been shown to support the prevention of liver diseases and thus help to improve the quality of life. Consumers are well aware of the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and the need to increase the intake of omega-3s for a balanced diet.
