Omega-3 fatty acids is a fat lot of good.
Strong scientific evidence supports the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, found primarily in oily fish. In fish, omega-3 fats occur primarily as EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
By eating fish or taking fish oil supplements, omega-3 fats are ingested in their biologically active forms that help support optimal cardiovascular, nervous system and joint function.
