Omega 369
Fatty
acids are important for all systems of the body to function normally, including
your skin, respiratory system, circulatory system, brain and organs. There are
two fatty acids, termed essential fatty acids (EFA) that your body does not
produce on its own. EFAs have to be ingested.
The two essential fatty acids that
the human body cannot produce are the omega-3 fatty acid and omega-6 fatty
acid, which are important for brain development, immune system function and
blood pressure regulation.
What is Omega-3 Fatty Acid?
Omega-3 fatty acid
(Alpha-linolenic acid) is an essential fatty acid that plays an important role
in brain function and may aid in the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
