As the body is unable to produce them, Omega-3 fatty acids are essential additions to the diet. Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. This beneficial effect can be found with a daily intake of 2g of ALA from food and supplements. Contained in rapid release softgel capsules.
