Omega 3 Fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fatty acid present inFishes like Salmon, Sardines, Pilchards, Kipper, Eel, Whitebait,Mackerel, Herring etc

Essential fatty acids, or EFAs, are fatty acids that humans and

other animals must ingest because the body requires them for goodhealth but cannot synthesize them. The term "essential fatty acid"refers to fatty acids required for biological processes but does notinclude the fats that only act as fuel

Only two fatty acids are known to beessential for humans:alphalinolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) and linoleic acid(an omega-6fatty acid).

Some other fatty acids are sometimes classified as "conditionallyessential," meaning that they can become essential under somedevelopmental or disease conditions; examples includedocosahexaenoic acid(an omega-3 fatty acid) and gamma-linolenic

acid(an omega-6 fatty acid).
