Omega-3-fatty acids

Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil such as DHA and EPA (docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid) are said to have health-promoting properties, including the prevention of cardiovascular and vascular diseases. Fish oil is therefore not only offered in food supplements, but is also used to fortify foods.
