ALA Omega-3

Per the package, "this granola contains 0.7 grams of ALA Omega-3 per serving." 

Alpha-linolenic acid ("ALA") is an essential fatty acid that is necessary for growth and development and is found mainly in plants, nuts, seeds, soy, and in fish oil containing docosahexaeonic acid ("DHA") and eicosapentaenoic acid ("EPA"). 

DHA and EPA help to suppress cardiac arrhythmias, decrease serum triglycerides, decrease risk of thrombosis, lower blood pressure, and reduce risk of death by heart attack and is found in fatty fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel and sardines, as well as in fish oil supplements. 

To get the recommended amount of ALA Omega-3, which is 0.6 to 1.2 percent of total calories, consuming two fatty fish meals per week is recommended.
