The Total EFA Vegetarian Liquid by Health From The Sun 16oz

The Total EFA™ Vegetarian provides a balanced blend of Borage Oil, Evening Primrose Oil and Certified Organic Flax Oil with a high lignan content. With a fresh delicious taste, it can be taken alone or drizzled over salads, pasta, vegetables, and other food. It contains the highest Omega-3 Alpha Linolenic Acid (ALA) content per tablespoon for any product and is the ONLY formula with Evening Primrose Oil. Flax Oil is a vegetarian alternative to Fish Oil. The omega-3 ALA in Flax Oil is converted into omega-3 DHA and EPA (typically found in Fish Oil) by the body. As always, all of our products are processed without chemicals, ensuring the most bioavailable EFAs.

Essential Fatty Acids- General Information

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are polyunsaturated fats that are necessary for a healthy lifestyle. Like vitamins and minerals, EFAs are essential nutrients that we must get from foods or dietary supplements. There are two families of essential fatty acids, the Omega-3 family and the Omega-6 family. Since these fatty acids are not interchangeable in the body, both must be supplied in the diet.

WHY ARE ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS IMPORTANT? EFAs are important components of cell membranes where they maintain proper fluidity and flexibility. They are also the building blocks for prostaglandins - chemical messengers that regulate cardiovascular function, brain and nervous system functions, fat metabolism, skin health, joint flexibility and inflammatory response.

Who Can Benefit From EFA Supplementation?

Everyone! Experts agree the typical western diet is deficient in Omega-3 fatty acids. Most people do not eat enough food rich in Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids like fish, walnuts or dark green leafy vegetables. On the Omega-6 side, most people get enough Omega-6 Linoleic Acid but they fall short with Omega-6 Gamma-Linoleic Acid (GLA) because it is rarely found in foods. Instead, the body must rely on its ability to make GLA from dietary Linoleic Acid. Unfortunately, stress, a poor diet, alcohol, advanced age, and disease all interfere with the ability to make GLA.
