Goodhealth Omega 3 provides the essential omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, extracted from cold-water salmon. These fatty acids are very important for health and well-being, but are not made in our bodies which means adequate dietary intake is necessary. These fatty acids are highly beneficial for the health of the cardiovascular system. They also promote healthy function of joints and the health of eyes, hair and skin. This supplement is particularly important for individuals with diets high in trans or saturated fats since these fats increase our body's need for essential fatty acids.
