BioCare Junior DHA And EPA - Omega 3 Fish Oil - 30 x 255mg Fish Gel Caps
Oil from fish contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA); both are omega-3 fatty acids.
The parent fatty acid in the Omega 3 family of polyunsaturates is Alpha-Linolenic Acid which can be converted in the body to longer chain members such as Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA).
DHA and EPA are essential to health and particularly important for brain function. Both DHA and EPA are vital for sending and receiving messages in the brain and DHA is also useful for normal visual development.
The main dietary sources of Omega 3 Fatty Acids are oily fish such as mackerel and herring which are little consumed by Western populations.
