Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexanoic acid (DHA)
Two examples of Omega-3 fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA and DHA are commonly found in oily fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel.
I've read that herring is both high in omega 3 fatty acid, and low in Mercury.
Ácido graso omega-3.
There are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram, so 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acid is equivalent to 1000 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acid.
Eicosanoids are produced from arachidonic acid, which is an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid. Other fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) from the omega-3 family, can compete with arachidonic acid and lead to the production of different types of eicosanoids with potentially different biological effects.
Omega 3 is an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid and not a carbohydrate.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of n-3 fatty acids and therefore not a drug or chemical. There is no more specific a name for this group of fatty acids than omega-3. Three fatty acids in this group that are of nutritional significance in the human diet are: α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are fats that are required by the human body. We need to get through our diet or through supplements. The two significant groups of EFAs are Omega-3 and Omega-6. (There are Omega-9 fatty acids, but they are not essential.) Omega-3 fatty acids include alpha-linolenic acid, EPA, and DHA. Omega-6 fatty acids include linoleic acid.

Yes, omega-3 fatty acids primarily come from fish. Fish are a good source of two important omega-3 fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fatty acids are important for brain function and overall health.
Omega 3 is a fatty acid, not a bacteria. It is believed to be useful for health to consume Omega 3 fatty acids, which are found in fish and certain other foods.
