Essential fatty acid supplements
Healthy fats are fats that positively contribute to the proper functioning of the body. They serve as an important source of energy, support the absorption of certain vitamins, protect internal organs and should be incorporated naturally in your diet. Sources of healthy fats include fish, nuts, seeds, eggs, avocados, olives, olive oil and ghee.
The following dietary supplements with added fats are most beneficial:
- Omega‑3 fatty acids: Essential for cardiovascular and heart health. As the average diet is often low in oily fish, supplementation with anchovy fish oil, krill oil or algae‑based omega‑3 can help maintain optimal levels.
- Evening primrose oil: Sought after by women, as it helps with menstrual comfort and hormonal balance.
- MCT oils: More digestible fats that provide a quick source of energy for the muscles and brain, making them especially popular in the keto diet.
