Fatty Acids - Fats are essential!

Fats are clearly essential macronutrients in our diet, with their main functions being energy providers, structural components of cell membranes and precursors to the range of eicosanoids.  The body is able to synthesize most types of fatty acids that we require with only two fatty acids are unconditionally essential, namely linoleic acid and alpha linolenic acid.  These two must be obtained through dietary intake. Theoretically, all other fatty acids can be synthesized by the body, although DHA (Omega 6) and AA (Omega 3) are incorporated into brain and neural tissue at such high amounts that internal biosynthesis is almost certainly inadequate in providing optimum levels. Consequently, DHA and AA are often considered to be 'conditionally essential' fatty acids.

Changes in fat consumption has occurred over the past 30 years with a decrease in saturated fatty acids and an increase in high linoleic acid based plant oils. While this should be considered overall as a desirable shift in dietary intake, it has accentuated the imbalance between the levels of Omega 6 and Omega 3 consumption, which has remained very low.

Omega 3 fatty acids are still chronically under supplied in the general population and yet these fatty acids have demonstrable benefits in many aspects of human healthcare and disease.  Pharmax fatty acid products establishes the correct balance  for intake of Omega 3 and Omega 6.
