Once regarded with skepticism, fats are now celebrated for their critical role in our wellbeing and physiological constitution. Omega-3 fatty acids stand out as a prime example – they are indispensable for human health!

What’s the function of omega-3 fatty acids, their significance in our system, and which supplements stand out? Let’s delve into this nutritional titan.

Omega-3 Overview
