What it does
Omega-3s are the good fats your brain and heart are partly built from. EPA helps calm everyday inflammation, while DHA is a major structural fat in the brain and eyes. Most modern diets are heavy on other fats and light on these, unless you eat oily fish a few times a week, which is why a quality fish or algae oil is one of the most universally useful supplements.
The science
EPA and DHA reduce systemic inflammation, support brain structure, cardiovascular health, and mood. Most people are chronically deficient without oily fish 3x per week.
Most relevant for
Anyone who rarely eats oily fish, plus heart, brain, and mood support.
