EPA与DHA两种Omega-3对人体健康益处良多。它们是制造人体细胞及脑部、心脏等主要器官的要素，并能抑制有害的化合物，供应有益的化合物，让身体能健康运作。研究指出，Omega-3除有利心脏健康外，对以下疾病及问题也有帮助：
对脑部健康的好处
DHA可用於制造及保养神经膜或脑细胞，因此对脑部十分重要。我们的脑部透过神经线交换电讯号及化学讯号运作，因此必须保持神经膜健康。研究显示，DHA可提供这方面的帮助。尽管人类对脑部所知有限，但研究发现EPA与DHA对下列疾病有帮助：
- 忧郁症
- 躁狂症
- 注意力不足／多动症
- 老年痴呆症及失智症
对炎症的帮助
发炎现象是化学物质在身体中形成的反应。这些身体反应包括肿胀、疼痛及不适等。研究指出，EPA与DHA有助减少或抑制大部分炎症化学物质的产生，而且证明能有效纾缓以下的炎症：
- 类风湿性关节炎
- 肠炎
- 肾功能障碍
- 克隆氏病(局部性回肠炎)
- 溃疡性结肠炎
- 哮喘
对退化的帮助
由於EPA与DHA与我们的整体健康息息相关，研究指出二者有助预防多种退化疾病，例如：
其他健康益处
EPA与DHA是制造人体主要器官细胞的要素，若未能摄取每日建议份量的Omega-3，可能会出现健康问题。要保持体魄强健，必须供给身体所需的重要营养。由於我们的身体无法自行有效制造足够份量的EPA与DHA，因此Omega-3被视为不可或缺的保健元素。ONC致力宣扬Omega-3对健康的种种益处，由於好处繁多，未能一一详述，但就目前所知，Omega-3无疑对我们的身心健康十分重要。
