Omega-3 is considered one of the good fats important for cellular, heart and metabolic health. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are two types of fatty acids that help maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system. Additionally, fish oil also helps maintain triglyceride levels already within a normal range. This is because of the high levels of Omega 3, specifically the effects of the EPA and DHA constituents on Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα), whose benefits include not only reduction of cholesterol, but also anti-imflammatory properties and positive effects on body composition
