Product Description:

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) play a critical role in the workings of a healthy body. Why are they “essential”? Because the body must have them to survive, but cannot synthesize them from any other substance, so a direct source is required. Taken in the right amounts and ratios, EFAs improve and maintain health in the following ways:

1. INCREASE ENERGY PERFORMANCE AND STAMINA: help build muscle and prevent muscle breakdown, and accelerate fatigue recovery.
2. STRENGTHEN BONES: help to prevent osteoporosis by aiding in the transport of minerals that keep bones and teeth strong.
3. PROMOTE HEALTHY IMMUNE SYSTEM FUNCTION: produce eicosanoids that regulate inflammatory and immune responses, lowering inflammation and slowing autoimmune damage (arthritis).
4. AID IN WEIGHT LOSS: enhance thermogenesis. Recent data also suggests EFAs have been found to block fat producing genes.
5. HELP MAINTAIN A HEALTHY HEART: lower high blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, inflammation, and formation of clots.
6. SPEED THE HEALING PROCESS: form cell membranes and are essential for cell growth and division.
7. ENHANCE BRAIN FUNCTION: are necessary to make serotonin, the neurotransmitter essential to the entire nervous system. Mood and behavior disorders are linked to decreased levels of EFAs.
8. PRODUCE HEALTHY HAIR, SOFT SKIN, AND STRONG NAILS: insufficient amounts of EFAs result in dull hair, dry skin, and brittle nails.

Key Ingredients:

Alpha Linolenic Acid (omega 3) has been assessed for its role in cardiovascular health. Studies have found evidence that ALA is related to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease. People with certain circulatory problems, such as varicose veins, benefit from flax seed oil. Flax seed oil stimulates blood circulation, increases the breakdown of fibrin, a compound involved in clot and scar formation, and additionally has been shown to reduce blood pressure. There is strong scientific evidence that n- 3 fatty acids significantly reduce blood triglyceride levels and regular intake reduces the risk of secondary and primary heart attack.

Linoleic Acid (omega 6) is converted by the body to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), dihomogamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), and arachidonic acid (AA) which can be used for energy production and in membrane structures.

Oleic Acid (omega 9) unlike 6 and 3 can naturally be produced by the body. The body uses fatty acids to help synthesize certain hormones and hormone-like substances, provide structure for cell membranes, support natural growth, and to provide energy if necessary.

Suggested Use:

Take two softgel capsules daily with food
