Omega-3 Fish Oil Capsules - 1000mg

Omega-3s are essential fatty acids, they are called essential because they have to be consumed from our diet and cannot be made by the body. 

What is Omega-3?

Omega-3 fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) are naturally contained in oily fish like sardines, tuna and herring who in turn get their Omega-3s from plankton. The plankton in cold water has a higher concentration of Omega-3s than that in warm water hence why oily fish has high levels of Omega-3s as they live in colder seas.
