Essential Fatty Acids
Essential Fatty Acids are integral for overall health.
The fats most prevalent in our diets, however, are predominantly Omega 6, which are pro-inflammatory. Corn and safflower oils, which are in practically everything in the way of prepared foods, are Omega 6. To restore the optimal balance of fats in our nutrition we need to add more Omega 3 fatty acids.
Sources of Omega 3 are walnuts, flax and fish. When you consider that an enzyme (deficient in many people, and especially in disease conditions) is needed to convert flax to the anti-inflammatory form we need, and that Flax also contains Omega 6, the clear winner is fish, with a supplemental form being both convenient and pure.
The two fatty acids present in high amounts in Fish Oil are EPA and DHA, both precursors to important ANTI-inflammatory substances in the body, and both connected in studies to a lowered risk of cancer.
Additionally, a 2003 study at the University of Edinburgh determined that Omega 3s can halt and reverse the weight loss and lack of appetite (Cachexia) experienced by some cancer patients. See RESOURCES at right for the study report.
In many cases it is difficult to get the quantity or consistency of Omega 3 oils on a regular basis for optimal health benefits. Power Omega 3 Oil is high potency krill oil . Features include :
- High potency source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
- More absorbable than fish oils & easier on the digestive system
- Vitamins A, D & E
- Over 40X more potent than fish oil in terms of ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity) values . Due to Astaxanthin ( red pigment that gives Krill, Lobster & Shrimp their reddish colour), a powerful antioxidant derived from algae that the Krill eat.
- Protects against UV- induced skin damage thanks also to Astaxanthin
