Omega 3 EFAs are produced from Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA). The Omega 3 fatty acids are especially important for the heart, brain and cell membranes. ? Omega 6 EFAs are made from Linoleic Acid (LA). The body uses Omega 6 fatty acids to produce the PGE1 series of prostaglandins, which support immune system function and skin health. ?
