Omega-3 fatty acids are essential pillars of human nutrition. They are called "essential" because the body needs them for good health, but cannot produce them itself. They must therefore be obtained from the diet or from supplements. Omega-3 fatty acids are required for many body functions, from normal growth to brain development. These long-chain fatty acids are an integral part of tissues throughout the body, including the heart, skin, eyes and brain. In nature, omega-3s are synthesized as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), found primarily in plants, and as long-chain EPA and DHA, derived primarily from cold water fish. The body has the ability to slowly convert shorter-chain ALA to the more active long-chain EPA and DHA. The slow conversion is due to the activity of the delta-5 and delta-6 desaturase enzymes, which limits the synthesis of EPA and DHA. In addition, major changes in the modern diet over the past century have led to a decrease in the overall consumption of omega-3 fatty acids. Because omega-3 fatty acids are known to be beneficial for cardiovascular health, and for supporting brain function and cognition, achieving a good balance of omega-3 fatty acids has become an important health strategy, requiring supplementation for most people. The American Heart Association recommends that people concerned about blood lipids take up to 4 g of omega-3 fatty acids per day.
