Omega-3 and Oils: EPA, DHA, and Normal Heart Function

Omega-3s, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) from fish oil, are among the most sought-after dietary supplements in France to support a balanced diet. These essential fatty acids contribute to maintaining a normal concentration of triglycerides in the blood and play a role in normal brain and vision function.

When choosing an omega-3 supplement, two criteria regularly appear in consumer searches: the concentration of EPA and DHA per capsule, and the freshness of the oil (measured by the TOTOX index). Some oils are also plant-based (algae), a popular alternative for vegans or those allergic to fish.
