Structured EFA dietary supplement contains vitally important essential and conditionally essential fatty acids which may be lacking in many athletes' diets. A deficiency of these indispensable nutrients has been linked to compromised function of several very important metabolic systems. Structured EFA includes only unsaturated fats.
Saturated fats are the kind usually found in meat and dairy products.
Your body can use them for energy, but not much else. If you eat too many of them, day in and day out, chances are you'll gum up your arteries and suffer from a host of physical problems. Unsaturated fats generally come from plant products, and your body uses them to construct cell membranes, support nerve function, and produce hormones, among other things. Your body can also use them for energy if the more vital roles of these fatty acids listed above have been fulfilled. This means that unlike the essential fatty acids, you can live without it.
