What are Omega-3 fatty acids? Omega-3’s belong to a group of
fatty acids known as long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Because the body does not manufacture them, Omega-3's are
classified as "essential fatty acids" (EFA’s), as it is
essential they be obtained from food. There are three important
Omega-3 fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA),
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). EPA
and DHA are found in fish, while ALA is found only in plant
foods such as flaxseed meal. The body can convert ALA into small
amounts of EPA and DHA, but recent studies have indicated that
our bodies are somewhat inefficient in this conversion.
