Now this question could take a long time to answer. However, I’ll outline the most important functions, with the first one being the basis for most of the others. They form an important part of the membrane surrounding all the cells in your body and brain, because of their unique structure; they improve the production of energy within your cells; they regulate hormone production; the ensure a strong immune system; they are responsible for the optimal functioning of the central nervous system (CNS) including the brain; they regulate heart function, blood pressure and assist cholesterol control; they facilitate mood stability due to their CNS functions; they facilitate optimum skin function and texture; they help to regulate insulin production. And their function in the brain is not completely understood yet, but we know that 20% of the brain is made up of these oils, so their presence must be very important.
