Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential nutrients that have been extensively studied for their potential health benefits. These fatty acids, including alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are found in various dietary sources such as fish oil and flaxseed. Research has explored their effects on a wide range of health conditions, including cardiovascular disease, depression, inflammation, and cancer.

Cancer
Inflammation and Autoimmune Diseases
Omega-3 PUFAs offer a range of health benefits, particularly in cardiovascular health, mental health, liver disease, maternal and child health, cancer prevention and management, and inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. These benefits are primarily attributed to their anti-inflammatory properties, ability to modulate lipid profiles, and effects on cellular signaling pathways.
