Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients your body cannot produce on its own — meaning they must come from your diet or supplements. These healthy fats, particularly EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), play a crucial role in maintaining the normal function of the heart, brain, and vision. Despite their importance, many people across Europe and beyond don’t get enough omega-3 through food alone.

This tag brings together all our blog posts, articles, and guides that explain what omega-3 fatty acids are, how they work in the body, and how to choose a high-quality supplement. Whether you’re new to omega-3 or looking for advanced comparisons between krill oil and fish oil, this is your go-to hub for science-backed information.

At vipra.eu, we only refer to health claims approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), so all our content is aligned with current EU regulations. That means no exaggerated promises — only clear, trustworthy insights into what omega-3 can and cannot do.

In our content under this tag, you’ll discover:

• The difference between EPA and DHA, and why both are important
• How krill oil differs from fish oil in absorption and stability
• Why omega-3 is especially important for people with low fish intake
• The role of astaxanthin and choline in krill oil
• How much omega-3 is recommended per day, and how to ensure you're getting it

We also explore common questions such as:

• What’s the best form of omega-3: capsules, oil, or emulsified?
• Can omega-3 help with tiredness, inflammation, or mood?
• What’s the environmental impact of krill oil vs. fish oil?

One of our most popular omega-3 supplements is AntarcticRed Krill Oil, which provides EPA and DHA in a phospholipid form for superior absorption, along with natural astaxanthin for antioxidant support and choline for liver and lipid metabolism.

Whether your health goals relate to focus, heart function, energy, or general wellness, omega-3 fatty acids should be part of your foundational routine. Start with our expert-written articles to make informed, confident decisions about your supplement strategy.
