Omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3 PUFAs) are essential fatty acids in the human diet. They alter the structure and function of cell membranes.
Omega-3 fatty acid-rich diets have been correlated with higher levels of SCFAs and SCFA-producing bacteria
Calviello et al. (2004) showed they enhance cardiovascular function
