DID YOU KNOW:
 | 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 in Roex EFAs 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. Roex EFAs contain a 1:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 oils for this reason. |
| Flaxseed oil is the world's richest source of Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for: high cholesterol levels; stroke and heart attack; angina (heart pain); high blood pressure; arthritis; A.D.D.; multiple sclerosis; psoriasis and eczema. They also promote smoother muscle action, clearer thinking, relieve allergies, and assist in weight loss. |
| Omega-6 fatty acids, also known as linoleic acids, are abundant in the polyunsaturated safflower oil in Roex's EFAs formula. Borage oil, and pumpkin seed oil are also part of the Omega-6 fatty acids included in Roex's EFAs. |
| The safflower oil in Roex EFAs helps to maintain the correct body balance of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are produced by every cell in the body and control functions such as reproduction and fertility, inflammatory reactions, immunity and cell communications. |
| Olive Oil is a monosaturated fat, and has been shown to reduce harmful LDL, cholesterol levels in the bloodstream. It is included in Roex EFAs, as part of the Omega-9 fatty acids, along with pumpkin seed oil. |
| Borage Oil is the richest source of GLA (gamma linoleic acid) which is almost non-existent in today's Standard American Diet; therefore, Roex also included it in the EFAs. |
| The Omega-3 fatty acids in Roex EFAs are provided both by flaxseed oil and fish oil. Omega-3 oils are natures richest source of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (dihomogammalinolenic acid). |
| The brain is mostly fat, and Omega-3 fatty acids are important for its proper function; hence the Omega-3 fatty acids in Roex EFAs promote cognitive thinking. |
