Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Lab Technician

Fats are chemicals made up of long chains of carbon atoms surrounded by hydrogen atoms. When a carbon chain is attached to the maximum number of hydrogen molecules that it can hold, it is called a saturated fat. When one or more carbon atoms are joined by double bonds, the fat is unsaturated. These double bonds allow the molecules to be easily broken down and used for a variety of essential body functions.

Omega-3 fatty acids have many different uses in the body. They are essential for the production of new cells and give flexibility to cell membranes, allowing for better absorption of minerals and nutrients.
