Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) belong to the long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) containing more than one double bond. For example, depending on the chain-terminal double bond position, Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3 PUFAs) contain a double bond 3-carbons away from the terminal carbon on the fatty acid tail. PUFAs are usually regarded as safe and beneficial, but that depends on potency, concentration, and oxidizability
