Dry, flaky skin is one of the first indications of an essential fatty acid deficiency. It is important to ask whether or not you are using hydrating lotions. Many people take it for granted that they need to use moisturizing lotions in order to have moist skin.

Essential fatty acids is often due to a biliary dysfunction, leading to incomplete emulsification of fatty acids, and is often accompanied by a mineral deficiency, especially calcium.
