FATTY ACIDS DECODED
Fatty acids are carbon chain structures that are important components of fats. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are unsaturated fatty acids that are required in the diet for proper growth, maintenance, and functioning of the reproductive, nervous, cardiovascular and endocrine systems. These acids form part of the cell membrane structure and are not made by the body. Experts thus recommend including sufficient amounts of healthy essential fatty acids in your daily diet.

Protect and prevent
Many of the health benefits of EFAs in the prevention and treatment of diseases are substantiated by credible scientific research, which has also shown the safety of these nutrients taken in supplement form, such as salmon, borage (starflower) and flaxseed oils.
