Omega-3 fatty acids support normal cardiovascular function, normal brain function and normal vision. As essential nutrients, omega-3 fatty acids cannot be produced by the human body. That is why they must be taken on a regular basis through the diet. The current Western diet has a low consumption of omega 3, so the balance that this must maintain with another essential acid, omega 6, is unbalanced. That is why omega 3 capsules are an effective and approved remedy to help compensate the situation, improving the omega 6 - omega 3 ratio that the body needs.
