Product Description
Biotics Research Corporation Optimal EFAs - 120 Capsules Optimal EFAsfrom Biotics ResearchCorporation supplies a unique blend of the highest quality fish, flaxseed and borage oils, providing a balanced blend of omega-3, 6, and 9 essential fatty acids in optimal ratios. Fatty acid imbalances are common in societies like ours that consume an abundance of processed foods with artificial ingredients and hydrogenated (trans) fats, and have an over-reliance on grains. Essential fatty acid (EFA) deficits generally occur in combination; therefore, supplementation with a balanced combination of EFAs makes logical sense. Optimal EFAs supplies a unique blend of the highest quality fish, flaxseed and borage oils and provides balanced proportions of ALA, EPA, DHA, GLA, and Oleic acid, as indicated by current research to support good health. Fish oils are a rich source of the long-chain polyunsaturated Omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. DHA is a vital component of cell membranes, and is especially important for optimal function of the brain and eyes. Both EPA and DHA are important for maintaining healthy blood lipids and inhibiting the conversion of arachidonic acid (a fatty acid associated with cancer and heart disease) into pro-inflammatory chemicals (such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes) that cause pain and inflammation. The FDA recently established that increased consumption of EPA and DHA found in fish oils helps to protect against heart disease. Flaxseed oil is a very rich source of Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, and Oleic acid, the same fatty acid attributed to the heart protecting effects of olive oil. Increased consumption of ALA inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory compounds (such as prostaglandins and cytokines) and inhibits platelet aggregation thus reducing the risk of arterial blockage. Borage oil is an excellent source of Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which is considered "the good Omega-6 fatty acid.
