Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids (EFA), called so because they need to be sourced from the diet and cannot be synthesised by the body in sufficient quantities. Conditionally essential fatty acids DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) can be synthesised from the omega-3 fatty acid ALA (alphalinolenic acid), but this process may be insufficient under certain conditions. Fish body oils are a great source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids and may be of special benefit to people leading active lives and putting their bodies through strenuous physical activity.
