OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are important fatty acids for humans, dogs and cats because they cannot be made in the body. The only source of EPA and DHA for these species is through diet and/or supplementation.
Daily supplementation with Omega-3 Fatty Acids helps support optimal health for your pets. EPA and DHA are necessary structural components of cell membranes because they maintain the fluidity and permeability of the cell membrane needed for healthy, functioning cells.
EPA and DHA are found abundantly in cold-water fish. Flax seed oil contains ALA, another omega-3 fatty acid that requires the body to first convert ALA to EPA and DHA before utilization.
Humans and dogs have limited ability to make this conversion, while cats have even less ability to make this conversion. Therefore, supplementation with high-quality omega-3 fish oil is recommended for humans, dogs and cats.
The omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) found in fish oil support:
- Cellular health
- Immune system health
- Skin and coat health
- Joint and heart health
- Brain and eye development and maintenance
