Omega-3 fish oil powder is a popular dietary supplement that is derived from various types of fish, such as anchovies, mackerel, and salmon. The powder is obtained through a process that involves the extraction of oil from the fish and then spray-drying it to form a dry, free-flowing powder. The powder is then encapsulated or used as an ingredient in various food and beverage products.
Omega-3 fish oil powder is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for maintaining overall health and well-being. Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, arthritis, and cancer.
