Product Description
Of all the health supplements that may be ingested, essential fatty acids (EFAs) are among the most beneficial and important. Without these essential fats, the heart and brain become less efficient, and a general predisposition to degenerative processes can occur. The two main classes of EFAs are omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs. Among their many important functions, EFAs are used to make powerful short acting hormones known as eicosanoids. Omega-6 EFAs tend to generate pro-inflammatory hormones, whereas omega-3 EFAs are used to make hormones that reduce inflammatory processes. The optimum ratio for balance of these effects is felt to be approximately 1:1. However, most foods supplying EFAs in the U.S. diet have a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 EFAs typically in a 6-20:1 ratio. This means that most diets are not only deficient in omega-3 EFAs the ratio of EFAs that are ingested tends to fuel inflammatory processes in the body.Feature
