Omega 3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that occur naturally in fish, algae and certain plant foods. The best-known forms are EPA, DHA and ALA.
EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are omega 3 fatty acids mainly found in fish and algae. ALA (alpha-linolenic acid) is a plant-based omega 3 fatty acid present in flaxseed, chia seed and walnuts, among others. These capsules contain 517 mg EPA and 984 mg DHA per daily dose.
DPA (docosapentaenoic acid), like EPA and DHA, is an omega 3 fatty acid that naturally occurs in fish and fish oil. EPA and DHA are generally present in larger quantities, whereas DPA is usually found in smaller concentrations as part of the natural fatty acid profile. DPA in this product is from plant-based sources.
Schizochytrium sp. is a microscopic microalga that naturally occurs in the sea. The alga feeds on organic plant material, such as dead leaves. It naturally contains a lot of DHA and EPA and is therefore used for the production of algae oil.
Algae are at the beginning of the marine food chain. Fish obtain omega 3 fatty acids through the algae they eat, and this is how EPA and DHA end up in fish. Algae oil derives these fatty acids directly from the source, without fish.
Omega 3 fatty acids are fats. That is why it is recommended to take the capsules during or just after a meal, preferably a meal that contains fat.
