Omega-3s are essential fatty acids found in fatty fish like tuna, anchovies, and salmon. The two primary Omega-3s are DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). They are called essential because they can not be produced by the body but are required for normal cellular function.

In the case of Omega-3 fatty acids, the answer is likely to be 'no.' Research suggests most Americans aren't getting enough Omega-3s through their diets, so supplementing with omega-3 is a great addition to your nutritional toolkit.

Omega-3s and Curcumin are both support a inflammatory response and have been shown to work better when taken together.

Omega-3s and turmeric are both considered to be generally safe and well tolerated when taken by healthy individuals by mouth at the suggested dose. They are not intended to be used to treat any medical condition or disease.

If you have any medical concerns or are taking any medications, it is advisable to speak with your healthcare practitioner before starting any supplement.
