Why do we need omega 3?

Omega 3 must be eaten: Omega 3 is a group of essential fatty acids that only can be added through diet. 

Nutrients vital for our body: It is in omega 3 from marine sources like fish that we find the most important fatty acids DHA and EPA. DHA and EPA are vital for the body and have the best documented effects of all omega 3 fatty acids. 

Declining fish consumption: In modern diets, intake of fish has been declining, and especially the intake of oily fish such as sardines, anchovies, mackerel and salmon that are rich in the essential omega 3 fatty acids DHA and EPA.  This often makes it essential to take marine omega 3 as a dietary supplement.
