PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) are essential for life; they cannot be made in the body and must be obtained via the diet.

Health benefits

Two large families of PUFA exist: omega-3 PUFA and omega-6 PUFA. Both families can be metabolized to long-chain PUFA (LC-PUFA). Numerous studies have suggested that dietary omega-3 LC-PUFA help maintain the performance of the heart and cardiovascular system, healthy bones and joints and a healthy brain. They are also very important immediately before and after birth, as they play a key role in the vision processes and brain maturation.
