Fatty Acid Supplements: Nutrition Facts and Calories
Fatty acid supplements provide concentrated sources of specific fats, often in capsule or liquid form. This category includes products like omega-3s (found in fish oil, algal oil, and flaxseed oil), omega-6s, and omega-9s. These supplements are designed to provide fatty acids that might be less abundant in one's regular diet. When choosing a fatty acid supplement, examine the Nutrition Facts label. Look for the total fat content and the specific amounts of fatty acids, such as EPA and DHA for omega-3 products. The ingredient list is important to identify the source of the fatty acids (e.g., fish, algae, flaxseed) and to check for any added ingredients like fillers, artificial colors, or preservatives. Unlike many other food products, fatty acid supplements typically contain negligible or no added sugars or sodium. Always consult a healthcare provider before adding any new supplement to your routine. All values are shown per 100 g so products can be compared.
