Omega-3 Fatty Acids
The Power of Omega-3s
Essential fats necessary for heart and brain health. Found in eggs (especially pastured or omega-3 enriched), flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, and algal oil.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats—meaning the body cannot make them on its own. They are critical for maintaining heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting cognitive function.
While fish are well-known sources, they are also found in eggs, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts. For a veggan diet, balancing these sources helps ensure you receive the full benefits of both EPA and DHA types of fatty acids.
