EFA
Complex contains a unique combination of the
omega-6 fatty acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA),
and the omega-3 fatty acid, eicosapentaenoic
acid (EPA). Both these forms of essential fatty
acids (EFAs) are 'essential' because the body
cannot produce them – they must be obtained
from the diet. The human body must have these
essential fatty acids found in certain oils in
order to survive. The World Health Organization
of the United Nations has recommended that at
least 3% of daily calories should come from EFAs.
EFAs are essential for
good health because they are the precursors of
prostaglandins – extremely short-lived,
hormone-like chemicals that regulate virtually
every system in the body, including the
cardiovascular, immune, and nervous systems.
PhysioLogics derives
its GLA from borage oil, which has the highest
amount of omega-6 fatty acids extracted from any
plant source (23%). Cold-water fish provide a
rich source of the omega-3 fatty acid –
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Both these types of
essential fatty acids help optimize
cardiovascular health, and research suggests
that these fatty acids also help promote a
balanced inflammatory response in the body.
Many people have
difficulty converting linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic
acid into active fatty acids such as GLA and
EPA. PhysioLogics' EFA Complex provides these
fatty acids in their active forms, rather than
relying on the body to synthesize them. This
allows for better support and production of
beneficial prostaglandins, vital for overall
good health.
The essential fatty
acids in EFA Complex can:
- Promote a healthy
immune system
- Support the
formation of prostaglandins that enhance
proper hormone function for mental and
physical health*
