Omega's are important for great health and could prove useful in individuals with dry eyes. The 3 essential forms of omega 3's include:
- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
- Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)
- Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)
According to Dr. Oz, DHA and EPA come primarily from fish and what fish eat. ALA (walnuts, flaxseed, soybean, etc.) is everything else and does not get converted as easily by our bodies.
Exactly how many milligrams of omega 3's should our bodies take in?
Dr. Oz states that 600mg of DHA/EPA a day is essential to our health.
