In recent years, there has been a sharp increase in research interest from international public health institutions and experts in the field of health regarding Omega-3. What significant impacts do Omega-3 fatty acids (including DHA and EPA) found in the fish oil of deep-sea fish have on human health? This is a research topic of common interest to these experts.
The development and health of the brain's nerves and retina require a large amount of DHA. For children, adults, and the elderly alike, DHA is an essential nutrient for promoting neuronal function (learning ability and intellectual development) and visual health. DHA + EPA plays an extremely beneficial role in controlling and preventing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and related chronic diseases.
According to statistics, the current average daily intake of DHA/EPA for pregnant and lactating women in North America is only 20% of the amount recommended by scientific experts (300 mg/day). The average daily intake of DHA/EPA for children in North America is even less ideal, at only 19 mg/day. The recommended total daily intake of DHA/EPA for the general population in North America should be 650 mg/day. Because the public cannot obtain sufficient amounts of DHA/EPA by changing their dietary structure and eating habits, it is particularly important to supplement with appropriate DHA/EPA nutritional products. This is because for children, adults, and even the elderly, DHA/EPA are essential nutrients for maintaining brain and visual health.
It should be noted that plant-based foods rich in ALA (such as flaxseed oil, canola oil, nuts, etc.) do not contain DHA and EPA. Furthermore, the Omega-3 fatty acid extracted from plants, ALA, cannot be effectively converted into DHA/EPA during human metabolism. DHA/EPA are only found in the fish oil of deep-sea fish.
