Omega 3 (Linolenic Acid)
Updated: Tuesday, October 19, 2004

Omega 3, also known as linolenic acid, is an essential fatty acid. Essential fatty acids, sometimes called vitamin F, cannot be made by the body, but must be supplied by the diet. Essential fatty acids improve hair and skin, reduce blood pressure, help prevent arthritis, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, reduce the risk of blood clots, and are beneficial for eczema, psoriasis, candidiasis, and cardiovascular disease. They are needed for the development and functioning of the brain, nerve pulse transmission, rebuilding and producing new cells, and for the production of chemical messengers.
