The essential fatty acids, linoleic acid alpha linolenic acid are members of the fatty acid families of omega-6 and and omega-3 respectively. Both are implicated in both health and disease, components of all cell membranes, and found in high amounts in the brain and nervous system. Other biological important omega-3 fatty acids exist, and the two primary ones are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). These omega-3 can be produced from alpha-linolenic acid, but the conversion process is slow and results in the availability of relatively small amounts of EPA.
