Clinical trials: Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) Status
The Influence of Fish Consumption on Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) Status
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are important for health, for example for the immune system, heart health and the brain. PUFA are found in fish, nuts and oils; including these foods in the diet provides the body with PUFA.
