Description
The watch word for better health used to be ‘low-fat’, but after many years
of low-fat diets without the expected reductions in obesity, cancer, heart
attack, and other illness rates, many experts now recommend replacing
unhealthy fats with good fats rather than lowering overall fat intake. In fact,
supplementing the diet with concentrated, therapeutic fatty acids has been
proven to have beneficial effects on mood, arthritis, eczema and psoriasis,
cardiovascular health, eye health, and even weight management.
The two main families of good fats are omega 3 found in fish and flax
oils and omega 6 found in borage oil. The specific omega 3 fatty acids
that are responsible for the beneficial effects of fish oil are called EPA
(eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). The active fatty
acid in omega 6 is GLA (gamma linolenic acid). Unfortunately, it is not easy
to obtain enough of these compounds from our diet.
As a multivitamin fills in dietary gaps of vitamins and minerals from
our food, a multiple fatty acid supplement such as SISU Essential EFA
combines both omega 3 and 6 fats from fish and plant sources and
provides some of the nutrients you need to achieve and maintain vibrant
health.
