Omega fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that perform energy and structural functions in our body and also have a very important metabolic and regulatory role: they are indispensable for the formation of cell membranes, healthy skin, the synthesis of haemoglobin and molecules that regulate the production of hormones, vasoconstriction, immune, coagulative and inflammatory processes. Among the many properties attributed to them are also antioxidant properties and, in general, those related to the good functioning of the cardiovascular system.<\/span><\/p>\n

The omega fatty acids include Omega 3, 6 and 9.<\/span><\/p>\n
