What are EFA's?
Essential Fatty Acids are polyunsaturated oils - the "good" fats. They are "essential" because our body does not manufacture them, and they must be obtained through our diet on a daily basis for optimal health and well-being. EFAs produce beneficial hormone-like compounds called eicosanoids that affect the function of virtually every system in the body. The most important EFAs are EPA and DHA (omega-3s) and GLA (Omega-6). They are our "Look Good - Feel Good" nutrients responsible for cell flexibility, nerve communications, mood support, and even weight control.
