Omega 3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids (also called ω−3 fatty acids or n−3 fatty acids) are fats commonly found in marine and plant oils. They are polyunsaturated fatty acids with a double bond (C=C) starting after the third carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain.

They are considered essential fatty acids, meaning that they cannot be synthesized by the human body but are vital for normal metabolism.
