Each capsule of omega 3 fish oil concentrate contains a rich source of eicosapentoenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaeonoic acid (DHA). These two essential fatty acids are used by the body in the production of prostaglandins and are important constituents of cell membranes.
The benefits of Omega 3 are broad, benefiting not just healthy adults, but pregnant women, children and those suffering with all kinds of illnesses.
