<p>We rely on food as our <strong>source of Omega-3</strong> fatty acids, while they're essential for optimal health, our bodies can't make them. You’ll also see Omega-3 called <strong>ALA</strong> (Alpha-linolenic acid).</p>
<h3>Omega-3 contains 2 special compounds:</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>EPA</strong> - Eicosapentaenoic acid</li>
<li><strong>DHA</strong> - Docosahexaenoic acid</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Omega 3 Fish Oil</strong> contains high concentrations of EPA and DHA, the two special compounds used directly by the human body. Food sources of EPA and DHA are primarily oily fish (salmon, sardines, trout) but also shrimp, oysters and other shellfish.</p>

</ul>
<p>Plant-based sources primarily provide ALA as source of omega-3. Once ingested, ALA is partially converted into EPA and DHA to make it available for use within the body. <strong>Vegan sources of omega-3</strong> ALA include:</p>
