The benefits of omega 3 and 6 essential fatty acids
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are found within every cell in the body where they have both structural and functional roles.
Essential fatty acids are equally as important for health as vitamins and minerals, however not all essential fatty acids can be made in the body so must be obtained from food or by supplementation.
The balance between these essential fatty acids is important, and this is why Omega Balance has been formulated to provide an appropriate ratio for women.
Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) contributes to:
- GLA is metabolised in the body to prostaglandins, which regulate many body functions such as blood pressure, the reproductive cycle and the immune system
- Many women choose to supplement with GLA around the time of their period, or during the menopause.
DHA contributes to:
- The maintenance of normal brain function (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA)
- The maintenance of normal vision (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA)
DHA and EPA contribute to:
- the normal function of the heart
- normal blood pressure (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g EPA/DHA)
- normal (fasting) blood concentrations of triglycerides (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of EPA or 2g of DHA)
