Abstract

Today modern nutrition focuses on omega 3 fatty acids for its effective metabolic activities. It has the significant health benefits that protects the joints, improves the brain cognitive function, reduces the risk of heart attack and promotes the eye sight. ALA. DHA and ELA are the main types of omega 3 fatty acids which are found in our diet. ALA can only be in plant foods thus vegan consumes has to get the other types of omega 3 DHA and ELA from alternative supplementary and algal sources. Studies have proved that omega 3 supplement up-take in our day-to-day life has significant advantage without any side effects.
