About Essential Fatty Acids
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are healthy types of fat the body needs in order to function properly. They are called “essential” because they cannot be made by the body, but rather must be obtained through the diet. There are two types of essential fatty acids: omega-3 and omega-6.
Omega-3 fatty acids include alpha linolenic acid (ALA), which can be converted by the body into stearidonic acid, eicosatetraenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Omega-6 fatty acids include linoleic acid (LA), which can be converted by the body into gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid (ARA).
Some of the most important roles of essential fatty acids in the body include:
* eye & brain development
* breast health
* cardiovascular health
* emotional balance
* hormonal balance
* joint mobility
* nerve function
* skin/healthy complexion
Some individuals have difficulty converting ALA and LA into other forms, or they may lack the proper balance of these two fatty acids in their diet. For these reasons, supplementing with direct sources of ALA, EPA, DHA, LA and GLA is recommended. Fish, flaxseed and krill oils are the best supplemental sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Borage, evening primrose and hemp seed oils are the best supplemental sources of omega-6 fatty acids.
