Omega-3 fatty acids are mainly found in:
- oily fish (e.g. salmon, mackerel, herring)
- Algae oil (vegan source of DHA, partly also EPA)
- Fish oil as a raw material in food supplements
If fish is rarely on the menu, some people rely on a supplementary intake of suitable products – as part of a conscious diet.
