Omega-3: Benefits, Sources and Daily Needs
Nutrition Fact
Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of important fats that you must obtain from your diet. The three main types are ALA, EPA, and DHA.
Nutrition Description
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats that the body cannot produce on its own. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart, provided an adult consumes at least 250mg of EPA and DHA combined per day. They come from a mix of food sources, and there's a recommended daily amount worth knowing.
Food Sources
ALA (the plant-based omega-3) is found in flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts and hemp seeds. Nua Naturals' Organic Hemp Protein Powder contains 1700mg of Omega-3 per 100g. EPA and DHA (the marine-based forms) are found mainly in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines.
How Much You Need Per Day
EFSA guidance behind the authorised heart-function claim is 250mg combined EPA and DHA per day for adults, alongside a source of ALA from plant foods. Omega-3 doesn't have a single EU NRV covering all three types, so this is general dietary guidance tied to the specific authorised claim, rather than a blanket reference value.
