Benefits of EPA and DHA

As the brain is made up of about 10 per cent fat, a diet low in omega-3s may affect the fatty acid composition of cells in the brain, which may alter their function. 

EPA and DHA have anti-inflammatory activity by reducing the synthesis of prostaglandins and inflammatory cytokines. 

DHA is a vital component of the membranes in cells, especially those in the brain and retina (the nerve layer that lines the back of the eye which senses light and transmits impulses through the optic nerve to the brain). 

As such DHA is necessary for normal brain development and for the maintenance of normal brain function throughout life. DHA is preferred by the brain to any other fatty acid.

Due to its anti-inflammatory action, omega-3s have also shown significant benefits in relation to joint stiffness and swelling caused by mild arthritis.

Fish oils are key sources of the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, which need to be in the diet because the body cannot produce them. 

Cold-water fish such as herring, kipper, mackerel, pilchard, salmon, sardine, and trout are rich sources of these omega-3 fatty acids.
