What
are EPA and DHA?
These
are two specific essential fatty acids found in fish oil. Both Eicosapentaenoic
Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) have been well documented
in regulating cellular functions and promoting good health. Diets
deficient in EPA and DHA have been associated with a number of health
problems, most notably cardiovascular disease.
What
is GLA and how is it different from other Omega-6 sources?
GLA (Gamma
Linolenic Acid) is an Omega-6 fatty acid found in high amounts in
borage oil, and to a lesser degree in black currant and evening primrose
oils. In contrast to the sunflower, safflower and other Omega-6 oils,
the presence of GLA in borage oil results in very different physiological
effects. Linoleic acid in its current dietary excess promotes inflammation
due to the production of arachidonic acid (AA). GLA on the other hand,
actually interferes with the production of AA and decreases inflammation.
GLA has been used with success in treating various medical conditions,
most notably rheumatoid arthritis and eczema. Emerging science also
indicates that GLA has synergistic activities with the Omega-3 marine-derived
DHA and EPA, particularly in cardiovascular health and fat metabolism.
We all
want to be healthy, happy and fit with enough energy for work and
for play. A well-balanced diet, exercise, and enough rest go a long
way in helping us get the most out of life. And Essential fatty acids
(EFA) have been proven to help us achieve healthier and happier lives.
These ‘good fats’ truly are essential and the majority of
us are not consuming enough of the well-researched Omega-3 fats. Now
getting the right amount of Omega-3 to suit your specific health needs
is easier than ever. Introducing a new line of essential fatty acids
specifically formulated for a healthy heart, shape and outlook.
