Fatty Acids

Every fatty acids entry in the Typed supplements library. Each one is a full page: what it does, stage by stage, and what the evidence says.

• Algae Oil (Vegan Omega-3)A vegan source of the same omega-3 fats found in fish oil, grown directly from algae instead of extracted from fish.
• CeramidesFatty molecules that help form the outer seal of your skin — this supplement tries to add more from the inside.
• CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid)A modified fat sold as a fat burner — the real effect is tiny.
• Cod Liver OilA traditional supplement that naturally combines omega-3 fats with vitamins A and D — historically used to treat rickets long before anyone knew what vitamin D was, but its vitamin A content means you need to watch your dose more carefully than with plain fish oil.
• GLA (Evening Primrose Oil)A plant oil people try for skin and period-related discomfort — though good evidence for either is thin.
• Krill OilAn omega-3 oil from tiny Antarctic crustaceans, often marketed as better-absorbed than fish oil, though the actual proof of that advantage is mixed.
• MCT OilFats that skip the slow route into your body.
• Omega-3 (Fish Oil)The clearest benefit is if your blood fats are already high.
• Sea Buckthorn OilAn oil from a bright orange berry that’s one of the few plant sources of a less-common fat called omega-7, with real clinical trial support for dry eyes specifically.
