    EFA’s are nutrients your body requires to function normally. They are not produced or stored in the body. While there are many different essential fatty acids, they are typically categorized into two groups, omega-6 and omega3 fatty acids. Both groups of EFA’s have many functions that benefit health and well-being:

    Alpha Linolenic (Omega 3), Linoleic (Omega 6) and Gamma Linolenic (Omega 6) Acids are components of all cell membranes and also act as precursors to a range of vital cell regulators called prostaglandins. The Omega 3 & 6 Fatty Acids each produce separate, distinct Prostaglandins with different functions. Prostaglandins play a vital role in the control of inflammation, heart disease, and the tendency for blood platelets to clot. EFA’s form a barrier that protect the cell from viruses & bacteria, as well as transporting beneficial substances into & out of the cell.
