Fatty Acids

Our bodies need fatty acids to regulate blood pressure and maintain our immune system. Essential fatty acids that can be taken in supplement form (usually as capsules) include Omega 3 fish oil, Omega 6 starflower oil, flax and evening primrose oil. Fatty acids can improve concentration and are linked to mood enhancement. They cannot be made naturally in the body, so we rely upon our diet and supplements to provide this important source of nutrients.
