About the Fatty Acids Database



An open, evidence-based reference for the fatty acids that matter most in human nutrition — their structure, food sources, metabolism, and health effects — gathered in one place and cross-linked so you can follow a molecule from its chemistry all the way to what it does in the body.

Target Audience

We aim this to be a resource for researchers, as well as anyone looking to learn about the roles that fatty acids have on our health.



This is a non-profit project.
