Fatty acids are the body’s long‑burn fuel and cell‑membrane building blocks. Supplemental omega‑3s (EPA and DHA) act like tiny dampers for high triglycerides and gently nudge blood pressure and heart risk. In pregnancy, they help lower the chance of preterm birth.

• Lower high triglycerides
• Support heart health
• Help maintain healthy blood pressure
• Support a healthy pregnancy (lower preterm birth risk)

Omega‑3s are the flexible building blocks your cells use to keep membranes fluid and signaling on track—especially in the heart, brain, and during pregnancy. Think of them as the oil that helps your body’s gears run smoothly: they lower triglycerides, nudge blood pressure down, and support healthy pregnancy outcomes. Most benefits come from the long‑chain omega‑3s EPA and DHA found in fish oil, though certain plants can provide precursors that your body converts to EPA.

• Lower high triglycerides
• Support heart health in adults at risk
• Help maintain healthy blood pressure
• Support healthy pregnancy outcomes (lower risk of preterm birth)
• Tame low‑grade inflammation
