Omega-3 ComplexCombines Fish Oil, Flax Seed Oil, and Borage Oil. This unique combination of essential fatty acids (EFA’S) help support numerous functions in the body. The fatty acids in this product are derived from both grain and marine sources. Essential
fatty acids play a role in every life process in our body. Life without them is
impossible. Like vitamins and minerals, EFAs are essential to health for many
reasons: we must have them to live and to be healthy. Our bodies cannot make
them from other substances. We must obtain an adequate supply from external
sources as from food and supplements.
Ailments associated with EFA deficiency include eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, lupus, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, memory loss, irritable bowl syndrome, allergies, and asthma. Deficiency of Omega – 3 EFA’s, results in the deterioration of cells and tissues, and ultimately in death. Facts about Omega-3 and EFA’s Modern Day Deficiency Mass commercial refinement of fats and oils, and the products and foods containing them has effectively eliminated EFAs from our food chain-contributing to our modern day deficiency. - Fat metabolism is as important, if not more critical, than our body's metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, as evidenced by the drastic rise in fat related degenerative diseases, such as vascular disease and strokes. A lack of essential fatty acids has been suggested to actually facilitate degenerative disease. - Omega-3 fatty acids have a regulatory effect on the body's fatty acid metabolism. Without them, a malfunction of fat metabolism is certain. - Omega-3 fatty acids are grossly lacking in the Standard American diet (SAD). Americans must work at reducing their Omega-6 intake, while increasing their Omega-3 intake, primarily by eating more fatty fish, and switching from vegetable oils to live oils and eating more fruits and vegetables. Supplementation is also key since our bodies cannot produce either of these essential fatty acids. - Oils which should be reduced include polyunsaturated fats (corn oil), and saturated fats from meat products, margarine, and other hydrogenated oils. - The flaxseed oil is extracted from unrefined flaxseeds and is unique because it contains both essential fatty acids-Alpha-Linolenic (an Omega-3 fatty acid), and Linolenic Acid (an Omega-6 fatty acid) in appreciable amounts. - Essential fatty acids must be consumed in the right combination in order for the body to function properly. The ratio between Omega-6 and Omega-3 oils should ideally be 1:1. However, it is typically an astounding 20:1 or even higher, which can cause major imbalances throughout the body.World’s Richest Source of Omega-3 Flaxseed oil is the richest source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
