Essential fats

Omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA, are essential for human well-being, playing a crucial role in cardiovascular health, brain function, and development. EPA, with its anti-inflammatory properties, contributes to cell communication in the brain and is abundant in fatty fish.

DHA is vital for brain development and retinal health, offering neuroprotective effects. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6, is also important for maintaining an anti-inflammatory balance.

Daily consumption of these essential fatty acids is recommended to support various bodily functions, including heart health, blood pressure regulation, cognitive functions, and vision.

Following the guidelines of the Federal Office of Public Health, which suggests a daily intake of 500 mg of combined EPA and DHA, and an additional intake of 200 mg of DHA for pregnant and breastfeeding women, can help maintain optimal health.
