They are oils that are carried in FOOD. If you don't consume enough in your food, you take them in capsule form. They are considered macronutrients, not vitamins which are called micronutrients.
Your body uses macronutrients to build and repair tissue. Vitamins are used as cofactors in enzyme systems that move macronutrients around.
Think of it this way.... Oils like Omega-3 are like bricks in a wall.
The enzymes are the tools that put them there and stick them together.
Without the bricks you have no wall. Without the enzymes the wall falls apart.
