EFAs: Essential Fatty Acids
Our bodies require fatty acids for good health, but essential fatty acids (EFAs) are those your body is not able to produce on its own. Fortunately, we can get EFAs through supplements and foods including fish, nuts, oils, flax, and chia seeds. Getting enough of these healthy EFAs, which include omega-6 (linoleic), omega-3 (alpha-linolenic) and omega-9 (oleic or erucic) fatty acids, is important for body and tissue function, plus they can help support the immune system, heart and cognitive health, and improve energy levels while alleviating some joint health concerns. From omega-3s to chia seeds and coconut oil, check out our selection of quality, science-backed DHA and EFA supplements below—all with prices you’ll love.
