Influential genes: FADS1, FADS2
The FADS1 gene is connected to the metabolism of several omega-3 fatty acids, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), and their precursor alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
The FADS2 gene is closely associated with the metabolism of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as well.
Omega 3 DHA is a fatty acid found in most fish and seafood. It has been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, among other health benefits. You may know it as a dietary supplement in the form of fish oil, which is a source of both Omega 3 DHA and EPA.
Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for the proper functioning of the human body. Without them, you can suffer from various health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, depression, and dementia.
