What Is Omega 3 Fat And Why Is It Good For You?
That is the question asked by millions of people to day. Omega-3 EFA`S, (essential fatty acids) are DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) essential acids that at one time where known as Vitamin F.

It was discovered that the omega-3s, among their many other health benefits, are powerful anti-inflammatory agents.

Omega-3 oils are the lubricating fluids of your joints, the balancing fluids of your heart, skin and pancreas, the force for the battle against cancers and the fluid to keep the brain tuned.

The body cannot manufacture them; they must come from the diet.

Omega-3 vegetable sources do exist (Flaxseed, walnuts and rapeseed for example) but the body is invariably unable to convert the omega-3 linolenic acid they supply into the useful DHA and EPA forms. They are less likely to produce real benefits.

Oily fish and fish oil supplements of the right kind are the only readily available sources of Omega-3 DHA and EPA that reduce levels of potent chemicals.

But for these healthy truths to happen to your body the Omega-3 oils must reach the parts of your body where they are needed most.

The healing Omega-3 Oils must reach the "LACTEALS"- the lymph vessels that will help carry the life saving oils to your joints, heart, brain and other important parts of your body.

How do you do this?

There is only one way to send Omega-3 oils to the parts of the body where they will be of their peak benefit.
