What are Essential Fatty Acids?
Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are essential fats which are necessary for normal body functioning. The body cannot manufacture essential fatty acids on its own and they must be obtained through food or supplemental sources. EFAs support the cardiovascular, reproductive, immune and nervous systems. They also play a role in immune function by regulating inflammation and stimulating the body to fight infection.

Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are one of the two essential fatty acids the body requires for optimal functioning. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish and certain plant oils. However, it is important to maintain an appropriate balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6 (another essential fatty acid) in the diet as these two substances work together to promote health. Research suggests that Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent certain chronic diseases such as heart disease and arthritis. Infants who do not get enough Omega-3 fatty acids from their mothers during pregnancy are at risk for developing vision and nerve defects.

EFA deficiency and Imbalance of Omega-6 versus Omega-3
EFA deficiency is very common in North America, particularly Omega-3 deficiency. A balance of essential fatty acids in the body is critical for the maintenance of optimal health. Over the last several decades, the average Western diet has shifted to much higher levels of Omega-6 and less Omega-3 fatty acid intake. An EFA deficiency and Omega-6 to Omega-3 imbalance is linked with serious health conditions such as heart disease (including high blood pressure and cholesterol), cancer, insulin resistance, asthma, lupus, schizophrenia, depression, postpartum depression, accelerated aging, stroke, obesity, diabetes, arthritis, ADHD and Alzheimer’s disease, among others.

Signs of EFA deficiency:
• Fatigue
• Dry skin and hair
• Hair loss
• Mood swings or depression
• Poor memory
• Arthritis-like pain
• Visual or learning difficulties
• Decreased immune function
• Reproductive problems
• Cardiovascular problems

Why Supplement with Omega-3?
Most people in North America are more deficient in Omega-3 essential fatty acids than they are in Omega-6. In general, individuals receive ample amounts of Omega-6 fatty acids in their diet through a high daily consumption of vegetable cooking oils, animal products and processed foods.

Health Benefits of an Omega-3 Fish Oil Supplement
The many health benefits of taking a fish oil supplement are supported by a wide range of clinical trials and research. These benefits include enhancement of cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological and musculoskeletal function, as well as anti-aging support.
