Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) is the most common omega-3 short-chain fatty acid and is found in plants. It is an essential precursor from which EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are formed. EPA and DHA are both long-chain fatty acids and have been shown to reduce inflammation. Moreover, ALA can boost the mood, and improve the ability to learn and store memory.
