  1. WHAT IS OMEGA-3? Omega-3 is a type of essential fatty acid that the body cannot produce on its own. It must be obtained through diet or supplements. Omega-3s are important for overall health, including heart, brain, and eye function.

  2. Types of Omega-3s ALPHA-LINOLENIC ACID (ALA) EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID (EPA) DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID (DHA) ALA is primarily found in plant- based foods like flaxseeds. Our bodies convert ALA into EPA and DHA, but this process is inefficient. EPA helps with inflammation and has been linked to cardiovascular health. It's primarily obtained from seafood and grass-fed animal products. DHA is crucial for eye health, supporting the retina and tear film production. Like EPA, DHA is obtained from fatty fish.

  3. STRUCTURAL SUPPORT DHA, an omega-3, is crucial for retinal cell membranes, maintaining their structure and function for sharp vision. ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS Omega-3s reduce inflammation, improving tear film stability and alleviating dry eye symptoms. POTENTIAL AMD SLOWDOWN WHAT DOES OMEGA-3 DO FOR THE EYES? Omega-3s may slow age-related macular degeneration (AMD) progression through their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

  4. WHERE CAN YOU GET OMEGA-3? FATTY FISH Salmon, tuna, mackerel, and herring are excellent sources of omega-3s. NUTS AND SEEDS Flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and almonds are good sources of ALA. EGGS Some eggs are fortified with omega-3s, providing a convenient way to boost your intake.

  5. CONVENIENT SOURCE Fish oil supplements in capsule or liquid form, often flavored to reduce the fishy taste. EFFECTIVENESS Two capsules daily provide EPA & DHA, with results seen in 60–90 days USAGE TIPS Take with food for better absorption; consult a healthcare provider, especially with blood thinners.

  6. WHAT ABOUT SUPPLEMENTS? BENEFITS Omega-3 supplements can be a convenient way to ensure you're getting enough omega-3s.
