Omega 3 Fats On Steroids!

By Steve Zones


There is a lot of information available on the effects of essential fatty acids and their importance. The term 'Omega-3' is a buzzword in health these days, but very few know exactly how to maximize the effect of this essential oil. There is a product that enhances the effects of Omega 3 fats in a way that has never been formulated. Think of it as Omega-3 fats on steroids. But before we discuss this wonderful product, we need to explore essential fatty acids in detail.

Unsaturated fats, or "good fats", have got a liquid consistency at 70 degrees. They will remain in fluid form after cooling. Good fats are referred to as vital fats: omega-3 and omega 6 with both being unsaturated fats.

EPA and DHA are essential fatty acids occurring naturally in fish oil. A great deal of research has been performed on them. Both have roles in regulating cell functions and promoting good health. Diets deficient in them are associated with various health problems including cardiovascular disease.

Everyone desires happiness with good health including enough energy for work and for play. Of course it is well known that a balanced diet, exercise, and sufficient rest go a long way with getting the most out of life. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) have proven to help us achieve all those positive goals in life. EFAs are essential and the majority of people do not have enough in their diets. Getting the right amounts of Omega Fats for your specific health needs is not hard to do.

Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) is an Omega-6 fatty acid found in borage oil where it occurs in considerable quantities. It is also found in smaller amounts in black currant and evening primrose oils. Contrast this to the sunflower, safflower and other Omega-6 oils, the GLA found in borage oil has markedly different physiological effects. Linoleic acid in its present dietary form causes inflammation. This is caused by an associated production of arachidonic acid (AA). GLA plays an interfering role in the production of AA and this lowers inflammation.

Sources of Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fats include:

- Cold water fish - sardines, trout, halibut, herring - sunflower seeds

The Omegasentials product is granular - you sprinkle it on whatever you're eating, making it easy to prepare and consume. The many choices in supplements can be confusing, but there may finally be a product hat covers all bases.
