Omega EFA with Vitamin E

Storage: Store below 30° C

A supplement for general health and wellbeing, providing a balanced combination of the two major forms of Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) - omega 6 (w-6) and omega 3 (w-3) - with a therapeutic amount of vitamin E. EFAs are precursors to prostaglandins, which control numerous homoeostatic mechanisms throughout the body. They are necessary for normal growth and development, can help with the symptomatic relief of premenstrual syndrome, and can support a healthy cardiovascular system.

For optimum health, the ratio of w-6 to w-3 fatty acids should be between 1:1 and 4:1. (The typical “Western” diet is usually in the range of 11:1 to 30:1). In this formula, the Evening Primrose Oil constitutes 75% w-6 oils (including the 10% GLA), while the Fish Oil provides 30% w-3 oils (EPA and DHA), 30% triglycerides and an additional 40% w-6 oils. It will thus deliver an approximately 4:1 ratio of w6 to w3, and may be especially beneficial to those with overall EFA deficiency, for instance low fat diets, poor fat absorption (cholecystectomy, pancreatic dysfunction), and chronic inflammatory conditions.
