Omega-3 refers to a group of unsaturated fatty acids.  One fatty acid is alpha linolenic acid or linolenic acid.  It is also refered to as omega-3. This essential fatty acid cannot be made in the body and must be obtained from the diet or a supplement. The other two fatty acids in the omega-3 family are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The body can produce EPA and DHA by linolenic acid.

Omega-3 fatty acids promotes cardiovascular health and other healthy functioning of many other biological activities.  Omega-3 oils spoil easily, so many food manufacturers remove it to keep their products fresh.  Thus Omega-3 is not sufficient in many people's diets.  Omega-3 oils mostly come from cold water fish and wild game, so most Americans don't get sufficient amounts of Omega-3 because they don't eat these things in abundance.

Another good source of O-mega 3 is flaxseed oil.  It can also be found in chia, rapeseed, soybeans, alfalfa, and walnuts.
