Function: Two PUFAs, linoleic acid (omega-6 PUFA) and alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3 PUFA) are termed essential fatty acids because they are required for optimal health but cannot be synthesized by the body. They therefore must be supplied by the diet. Existing scientific data has shown that LC-PUFAs, the long chain derivatives of these fatty acids, provide a range of health benefits. For the n-3 family these benefits are primarily in cardiovascular health, growth and development of the brain and neural systems in babies, and diseases with an inflammatory component (rheumatoid arthritis). For the n-6 family, the benefits are primarily in skin health and also in the promotion of growth and development of babies.
