What is Fish Oil?
Fish oil is a dietary source of omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, meaning they are not produced naturally in the body and must be obtained from food.
Eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, usually referred to as EPA and DHA, are two common types of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and are primarily found in fatty fish such as salmon, trout, and various shellfish. However, EPA and DHA can also be found in various non meat products like yogurt, eggs, butter, and cheese. EPA and DHA have been researched extensively for their roles in fish oil benefits.

What is EPA and DHA?
EPA and DHA are considered to be the foundation of most fish oil benefits. DHA is most abundant omega-3 fatty acid in cell membranes and most abundant in the brain and retina. Although, EPA is only structurally present in small quantities, it is always being utilized while DHA acts primarily in a structural role. DHA stays attached to the glycerol backbone. This means that DHA freely moves into the gut while the other fatty acids have to re-bind to a glycerol molecule or could potentially be oxidized. Research has indicated that DHA is a major building block of the brain and it is believed to promote brain health and other neurological functions.
Subjects in a small research study that took a DHA supplement reported heart and cognitive benefits. Studies show that EPA may be the dominant fatty acid in terms of pain management benefits. Although, EPA is known well known for its joint and inflammation benefits, Research has found that EPA seems to promote skin health when ingested orally. Additionally, evidence supports that EPA is effective at supporting cognitive function. Several studies found that EPA had additional memory and cognitive benefits.
