Essential Fatty Acids

Top Form’s Complete Essential Fatty Acids Omega 3, 6, 9 EFA Complex is a mixture of Borage seed oil, Flax seed oil and Fish oil which together provide all three major categories of EFA’s: Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9. Essential fatty acids are essential nutrients for your body’s good health. EFA’s are found in every cell in your body, and are vital to the growth and functions of nearly every part of the body, yet because the body does not manufacture them, EFA’s must be procured from your diet or supplements. As many as 80% of Americans don’t get enough essential fatty acids, scientists say. This serious bodily deficiency could lead to many serious medical conditions, including heart disease, and diabetes.

Description

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) contains the essential fatty acids that we must obtain through our diet because they cannot be made by our bodies.

---10 IU Vitamin E – May help prevent or delay the chronic diseases associated with free radicals.

---400 mg Flax Seed Oil - Nearly every system in the body can benefit from flax seed oil's natural properties, including the cardiovascular system, immune system, circulatory system, reproductive system, nervous system, as well as joints.

---400 mg Borage Seed Oil – Borage Oil is an excellent plant source of the Omega-6 fatty acid Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA). Perfect for people on low-fat diets), Borage Oil assists in the production of prostaglandins and supports cellular and metabolic health.

---82 mg Gamma linolenic acid - helps the body make prostaglandins, hormone-like substances which can cause symptoms of PMS and menopause due to being off-balance in the body. GLA helps relieve such symptoms, as well as contributing to the regulation of the menstrual cycle and the easing of menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings. GLA may even lower the risk of heart disease by keeping plaque from forming on artery walls.

---120 mg Eicosapentaenoic Acid benefits (EPA) – is an omega 3 fatty acid, which help control blood clotting and other arterial functions. EPA also provides a natural approach to lower blood cholesterol and triglycerides.

---82 mg Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) - is an omega-3 EFA required for proper brain function. When the brain does not have enough DHA, cognitive problems and impaired mental abilities can result. ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactive disorder) in children can be linked to a lack of DHA in the brain as well. Depressed levels of DHA have even been connected with Alzheimer’s and depression.

Essential fatty acids (EFA's), especially DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), act as precursors to molecules which help regulate cellular function. They have been shown to play a role in blood pressure maintenance, immune system balance, sustaining healthy skin, and providing nutritional support during women's cycles.

The flax seed oil is organic. Both the flax and the borage seed oils are 100% cold expeller pressed and hexane free. The fish oil goes through extensive testing for heavy metals, PCBs and other possible contaminants.
