  ALA is converted into essential fatty acids but the problem is that it cannot be converted to DHA.(See DEFICIENCY)
• BENEFITS... What are the benefits of taking Omega 3-6-9 (EFA's)?
  There are numerous studies that have been done that show that EFA's can help with the heart, cholesterol, skin and joints, etc.(See STUDIES)
