DEAR FRIEND
Fatty AcidsFatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat. During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood.
Glycerol can be used as a source of energy. Unlike glycerolfatty acids are important sources of fuel because they yield a large amount of energy.
Amino acids, often referred to as the building blocks of proteins, are compounds that play many critical roles in your body. They're needed for vital processes like the building of proteins and synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters
