Optimum EFA

Description

The complete fatty acid profile research contains EPA, DHA, ALA, GLA and oleic acid for maximum effect on inflammation, brain, digestion and longevity. The cheaper the EFA’s or fish oil you purchase, the more potential there are for harmful toxins to be present in the oil. Each oil must go through a process to assure safety and quality. Furthermore, many EFA’s on the market fail to incorporate vitamin E with mixed d-alpha tocopherols for stabilization. This means if you open a bottle, even once, and expose it to air it begins to oxidize, thus losing its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

The majority of high-quality fish oils are a combination of DHA and EPA fats. These are both important for maintaining healthy blood lipids and inhibiting inflammatory and pain chemicals throughout the body. Research has established that increased consumption of EPA and DHA can protect against heart disease and inflammatory conditions. However, to make this work other oils such as alpha-linolenic acid and oleic acid are required. These four oils together with vitamin E are what decrease inflammation, platelet aggregation resulting in plaque.
