Description

Heaven & Earth's EFA Complete features a highly beneficial blend of Omega 3, 6 and 9 fatty acids derived from flaxseed oil, marine lipid concentrate, borage seed oil and evening primrose oil. Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids are considered essential because the body can't make them from other substances and they must be supplied by the diet. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are the building blocks for all cells and are necessary for the production of prostaglandins - hormone-like regulatory compounds that are involved in vital body functions.

Omega 3s, 6s and 9s offer many benefits including heart health, healthy mental function, anti-inflammatory effects, hormonal regulation, joint health, healthy skin and weight management. Omega 3 oils derived from fish contain the essential fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Flaxseed contains the omega 3 essential fatty acid known as ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), which requires conversion into EPA and DHA. Borage oil and evening primrose oil contain the omega 6 essential fatty acid known as GLA (gamma linolenic acid). Olive oil contains the omega 9 essential fatty acid known as oleic acid.

Research suggests that low levels of essential fatty acids may contribute to illness. EFA supplementation can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, inflammation, obesity, certain cancers, skin disorders, arthritis and hormonal imbalances. The National institutes of Health scientific advisory board highlighted the importance of a balanced intake of omega EFAs to reduce the adverse effects of arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid, derived from dietary animal fats, is a fatty acid that causes the production of pro-inflammatory compounds and a fatty acid imbalance in the system.
