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 EPA 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 EPA and DHA.
Omega 3 EPA deficiency can lead to hair changes, as well as to a whole range of other health issues. While it's uncommon to prescribe routine omega 3 tests, talk to your healthcare provider or take a blood test to determine your Omega 3 levels, if you suspect you might have a deficiency.
Omega 3 EPA can be consumed in foods such as salmon, tuna, trout, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, and herring.
