Omega-3 (SC)

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is the essential omega-3 fatty acid found in plants. "Essential" means your body can't produce it, so it must come from your diet, where it serves as a fundamental building block for cell membranes and contributes to heart and brain health. While powerful on its own, ALA also acts as the starting point for creating the long-chain omega-3s, EPA and DHA, which are typically found in oily fish. However, this conversion process is not very efficient. This is why combining rich plant sources of ALA with direct marine sources of EPA and DHA creates the most effective and well-rounded approach to your omega-3 intake.
