Omega 3 and EFA Supplementation Made Easy
Doctors and researchers have really begun touting the benefits of EFAs, and EFA supplements are abundant on the market. EFA in the right amounts is believed to help fight a whole host of ailments including heart attack, stroke, arthritis, auto-immune problems, acne, PMS, weak bones, low energy, dry skin, obesity, type II diabetes, depression, hormone imbalance, mental fatigue, stress, and symptoms of mental illness and Alzheimer’s.
Finding the right supplement or dietary advice for getting the right mix of EFAs can get very confusing for most people because there are so many components, initials, abbreviations and lots of conflicting advice. Let’s break it down and see if we can’t get to the essential information on essential fatty acids.
EFAs, or Essential Fatty Acids are dietary components that our bodies require, but cannot make on their own. Omega 3 and omega 6 are essential fatty acids. Omega 9 is often included when discussing EFAs, but technically it is not one because our bodies can indeed produce their own supply of omega 9.
