Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid (EFA) that comes from fish oil. Fatty acids are the basis for fats and oils, and are essential for overall health and well-being. They are important to the human body because they are part of every living cell in the body. EFAs are essential for the rebuilding of existing cells and the formation of new cells. Essential fatty acids are made up of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which are both fatty acids that have been shown to provide a range of health benefits. A number of studies have shown that fish oil can reduce the risk of heart disease, reduce the incidence of stroke, and improve some depression.
Recent studies have also shown that essential fatty acids can store glycogen directly from glucose (a digestible carbohydrate), overshadowingmco at the same time driving other fatty acids in the body away from triglyceride synthesis (fat storage) and onto fatty acid oxidation. Simply put, essential fatty acids save carbohydrates while burning fat.
