This is a fact sheet intended for health professionals. For a general overview of Omega-3 Fatty Acids, see our consumer fact sheet on Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

Introduction

The two major classes of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Like all fatty acids, PUFAs consist of long chains of carbon atoms with a carboxyl group at one end of the chain and a methyl group at the other. PUFAs are distinguished from saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids by the presence of two or more double bonds between carbons within the fatty acid chain.
