About utility

A large amount of fatty acids are concentrated in fish oils, which are rarely found in food products other than fish:

3. Oleic;
4. Eicosapentaenoic;
5. Arachidonic;
6. Linoleic;
7. Docosahexaenoic.

Organics are often much more expensive than complex synthetic preparations due to the more complex production process.
