Essential Fatty Acid Supplements

Essential fatty acids are literally essential for life, which is why they must be regularly consumed in the diet or supplemented. When we don’t get enough essential fatty acids, our cell membranes become pro-inflammatory, weak and can break. Cell membrane integrity is absolutely critical to overall health, which is why essential fatty acids should be made a priority.

Great ways to supplement essential fatty acids are with fish oil and phosphatidylcholine Phosphatidylcholine is the primary component of cell membranes and bile. Fish oil contains DHA and EPA which are very important for brain and nerve health. These essential fatty acid supplements should always be taken with food. Because they each provide unique benefits, they can be rotated through the diet.^†
