Essential Fatty Acids

The essential fatty acids, whose acronym is (EFA), are a type of fat that our own body cannot synthesise by itself alone and we must obtain them through diet or supplementation.

The only two essential fatty acids for humans are alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3) and linoleic acid (omega 6).If these are supplied, the human body can synthesise the remaining fatty acids it needs.

Among the omega 3 fatty acids we can find:

• Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA).
• Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA).
• Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

For its part, within the Omega 6 is the
