Many of us have heard of the benefits of fatty acids for some time now. In fact, there is a great deal of good research into these products and their uses. I will attempt to write a synopsis to help you as a possible consumer of fatty acid supplements - either for yourself or for your pet(s). This information is largely based on a recent lecture I attended by Dr. Kenneth Kwochka.
Fatty acids are important sources of energy, but I will focus on their benefits to cells and management of inflammation. Neither Omega 3 or 6 fatty acids can be synthesized in the body. We (and our pets) get fatty acids from our diets.
