It is derived from alpha linolenic acid (ALA) which is also known as the parent of this family. Eicosapentaenoic acids (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acids (DHA) are the most effective omega 3 fatty acids.  Human body is can transform ALA to EPA and DHA, but most animals like fish can convert less ALA into more EPA and DHA. That’s why we are recommended to take oil-rich fish in our diet at least twice a week, every week.
