Essential Fatty Acid Complex - Liquid Combo
Like vitamins, essential fatty acids cannot be made by the body, but must be taken in as food or supplements. Essential Fatty Acid Complex is a convenient way to be sure to get an easily absorbed, balanced mix of omega 3 & omega 6 essential fatty acids for all the protective benefits available to you. The movie "Lorenzo's Oil" is about the benefit of essential fatty acids for some neurological disorders.*
This liquid contains a wide range of polyunsaturated fatty acids, derived from borage, black currant seed, safflower, sunflower, sesame, virgin olive oils & natural lecithin. Also included are mixed tocopherols of the vitamin E family.*
Linoleic acid is found mostly in seed oils such as sunflower, sesame, safflower, corn, soy, & evening primrose oil. Some is in peanut & olive oil. Alpha-linoleic acid is found in green leafed vegetables, soy & flax oil. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is found mainly in fish oils. Essential fatty acid deficiency is relatively common.*
Essential fatty acids have 2 major functions in our bodies. They are a constituent of all cell membranes in all body tissues. They are precursors to body chemicals called prostaglandins & leukotrienes of which there are over 50 types.*
Prostaglandins are made from essential fatty acids in almost every organ of the body & greatly influence immune, cardiovascular, secretory, digestive, & reproductive functions.*
Most of these chemicals have positive anti-inflammatory, vascular dilating actions. A few have inflammation causing actions. It is important to have a proper balance of essential fatty acids to guarantee a predominance of anti-inflammatory benefits.*
Essential fatty acids improve platelet function resulting in a decrease in thrombotic complications and a lower cardiovascular death rate.*
In Studies:
53 subjects (children with ADHD) had significantly lower concentrations of essential fatty acids than 43 controls.
In a study of boys age 6-12, a greater number of learning & behavior problems, temper tantrums, sleep disorders, & more general health problems were reported in subjects with decreased omega 3 fatty acids, whereas more colds & antibiotic usage was found in those with decreased omega 6 fatty acids.
Those with prostate symptoms showed decreased residual urine following regular use of an essential fatty acid complex.*
