EFA's - Essential Fatty Acids Essential fatty acids play a role in every life process in our body. Life without them is impossible. Like vitamins and minerals, EFA's 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; from food and from supplements; deficiency results in the deterioration of cells and tissues, and ultimately in death. The definition of "essentiality" reflects the fact that essential nutrients perform key functions in our cells and tissues that the body cannot live without. EFA's play their "essential" roles by helping to form the membrane barrier that surrounds our cells and intracellular factories (organelles); determining fluidity and chemical reactivity of membranes; increasing the body's oxidation rate, metabolic rate, and energy levels; serving as starting material for hormone-like regulating molecules (prostaglandins) that govern cell activities on a moment to moment basis. It is common today to consume foods that are low or even completely deficient in essential fatty acids. The over-processing of food allows the it to have a longer shelf life but as a result, the make up of fatty acids in food has lost much of its nutritional value and balance. Hydrogenated oils have become commonplace in today’s food market. These oils do not provide the same nutritional benefits as natural oils (fish oils, olive oil, oils found in butter, etc). These highly processed hydrogenated oils play a role in the current lack of proper health and nutrition today. The Need to Supplement:Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids are classified as “essential” because every living cell needs them for proper function and our bodies cannot produce them on their own. While primitive man lived on roughly equal amounts of Omega-6 and Omega-3, the dietary ratio for modern man is nearly 20 parts Omega-6 to 1 part Omega-3. Essential Fatty Acids have slowly become more and more deficient in our diets. Although the increase in food preservation technology has contributed to the recent surge in EFA deficiency, it was first made known over 75 years ago. As more studies on the impact of EFA deficiencies are conducted, subtle effects of fatty acids in terms of skin changes, & visual function are only just being discovered. Health Benefits of EFA's:EFA’s and Heart Health Brain and Nerve Function Associated with EFA's The human brain is primarily made up of Essential Fatty Acids. These EFA's are required for the development and function of brain and nerve tissue, particularly the omega 3s. Benefits of EFA's for Hormones EFA's are vital in keeping hormone-producing (endocrine) glands active in the body. The endocrine glands secrete hormones that circulate within the body through the bloodstream. The hormones secreted affect cells within specific organs. The endocrine glands are instrumental in regulating one’s mood, growth and development, tissue function, and metabolism. Some examples of endocrine glands are the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands. Includes Omega-9 Roex EFA's are a blend of 5 different oils including the ideal ratio of 1:1:1 parts Omega 3, 6 and 9. Omega-9 fatty acids are not classified as essential fatty acids because they can be created by the human body from unsaturated fat and are therefore intake is not essential. Quality Ingredients Roex EFA's contain the highest quality ingredients available, including marine lipid concentrate, unrefined borage oil, and organic flax seed oil. Roex EFA's are molecularly distilled to ensure the purity and quality of the oils (properly blended from naturally grown plants and high quality fish oil). Proper Manufacturing Processes Dark black bottles are used for Roex EFA's in order to shield the product from light. The raw materials are enclosed in carob capsules to protect the EFA's from heat and oxygen.
Directions: As a dietary supplement, take two (2) capsules, two times a day. Other Ingredients: Gelatin, glycerin, carob extract, purified water and d-alpha tocopherol. DID YOU KNOW:
