Essential fatty acids are those necessary for life and that the body cannot manufacture on its own, these are gamma-linolenic and arachidonic acids (omega 3) and gammalinoleic acid (omega 6). Today, essential fatty acid deficiencies are common due to unbalanced diets, low in polyunsaturated fat and rich in saturated fat and cholesterol. Omega-3 is a cardiovascular protector, since it reduces blood cholesterol levels and reduces the formation of thrombi. It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory which helps to alleviate certain ailments such as migraines, arthritis and rheumatism. Omega 6, linoleic acid, a precursor of prostaglandins, substances with activity similar to that of hormones, since they regulate many responses in the body, such as: heart rate, blood pressure, blood clotting, reproductive system, immune system (they control the release of white blood cells) From a hormonal point of view, prostaglandins control the release of hormones secreted by the pituitary gland, the thyroid gland and the adrenal gland. In the nervous system, prostaglandins promote the release and reception of neurotransmitters, the chemical messengers of the nervous system. Various studies indicate that a deficiency in an essential fatty acid reduces mental capacity and alertness. The most immediate symptoms are tingling in the extremities, poor vision, dry skin, physical exhaustion. Cells throughout the body are dangerously affected, since, as we have said, fatty acids are essential for the functioning of cell membranes and, therefore, necessary for life Omega 9, or oleic acid. Omega 9, unlike the previous ones, is a monounsaturated fatty acid and is not essential. However, an omega 9 supplement promotes an adequate inflammatory response. In addition, several studies show that oleic acid reduces triglyceride levels and increases "good" cholesterol levels.
