What Are Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) from Fish Oil?

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are fats that the body cannot produce on its own and must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Fish oil is one of the richest natural sources of omega-3 EFAs, derived from oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, sardines, and anchovies. These omega-3s play a crucial role in reducing inflammation, supporting cardiovascular health, and maintaining brain and nervous system function.

The two most important omega-3 EFAs found in fish oil are:

• EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) – Supports heart health, reduces inflammation, and promotes joint comfort

• DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) – Essential for brain function, memory, vision, and nervous system health

Because modern diets are often low in omega-3s, fish oil supplementation is one of the most effective ways to maintain optimal EFA balance.

Types of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid)

• Promotes joint mobility and comfort

DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid)

• Supports eye and retinal health

• Important for mood and nervous system function

ALA (Alpha-Linolenic Acid)

• A plant-based omega-3 precursor to EPA and DHA

• Found in flaxseed, chia, and walnuts
