Description

ω-3 Fatty acids, represented primarily by docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and α-linoleate, are essential dietary nutrients required for normal growth and development. ω-3 Arachidonic acid methyl ester is a neutral, lipid-soluble form of the rare fatty acid ω-3 arachidonic acid. The ω-3 fatty acids, as a group, are associated with decreased inflammatory and autoimmune activity, and a reduction in thrombosis and platelet activation.¹
