ANY TAKERS?

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA):

Necessary for physical and mental health. Found primarily in fish and fish oil.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA):

Especially important to your body and necessary for various bodily functions involving your brain, blood vessels, and immune system. They are also found in shellfish, fish, fish oil, and enhanced foods (like baby formula).

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA):

This is the only omega-3 found in plants like flaxseeds, canola, soy, hemp seed, English walnuts, and enhanced foods. When you consume ALA, your body converts it into EPA and then eventually into DHA.
