Facts: It is hardly news that OMEGA-3 essential fatty acids are beneficial; numerous studies have shown that they significantly reduce the risk of heart disease, promote healthy levels of blood triglycerides, have anti-inflammatory qualities, and contribute to overall good health in many ways. Now, there is new research and evidence that indicates that specific compounds of Omega-3 are even more critical to our health and well-being. EPA & DHA : REVOLUTIONARY, NEW CONCEPT TO ELEVATE MOOD, ENHANCE BRAIN FUNCTION AND PROMOTE EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. A noted scientist at Harvard Medical School confirmed in a published, double blind clinical trial that the Omega-3 components EPA and DHA have powerful brain enhancing, mood elevating and mood-stabilizing qualities. This major scientific breakthrough demonstrated for the first time that a combination of EPA and DHA has the ability to enhance brain function and a person’s mood and promote a natural sense of well-being and energy. It is the first essential nutrient proven to do so. It represents a vital, new side effect-free alternative to other commonly-used mood elevators including St John’s Wort and has been shown to be effective on individuals who have not benefited from other products. The problem is, in order to achieve the brain-enhancing and mood elevating benefits of EPA and DHA, there needed to be a more advanced, concentrated way to supplement your diet than the common Omega-3 fish oil currently found in your local health shop or pharmacy. And unfortunately, Omega-3 from flaxseed oil contains no EPA or DHA, and has not been proven in clinical trials. Bioharmony’s ESSENTIAL OMEGAS, by Patrick Holford, is totally new and unlike any other Omega-3 product on the market today. It has been specially formulated by Patrick Holford to effectively enhance brain function, elevate mood and promote emotional and physical well-being. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic (DHA) are the key omega 3 fatty acids important for a healthy heart and arteries, the brain and for flexible joints. Gamma -linolenic acid (GLA) is the key omega 6 fatty acid which helps balance hormones, keep the blood thin, relax blood vessels, maintain normal blood pressure and a normal response to inflammation and pain. Essential Omegas contains the ideal combination of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), obtained from fish oil from the North Atlantic sea, as well as the essential omega 6, Gamma Lionolenic acid (GLA) obtained from borage oil, enhanced with pure vitamin E and Rosmary extract is specially formulated to promote emotional and physical well-being. Essential fats facts The omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids play a critical role in the maintenance of good health and ensure normal development. They cannot be manufactured by the body and must be provided by the diet. The most active forms of omega 3 fatty acids are docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosopentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid that belongs to the class of nutrients called essential fatty acids. DHA, abundant in cold-water fish, is essential for neurological development and for normal brain function in adults. It lowers serum triglyceride levels, making it useful for preventing cardiovascular and other problems. DHA deficiencies are associated with difficulties in learning, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, unipolar depression, aggressive hostility, senility, sporadic Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis and other problems. DHA supplementation improves learning and is useful for hypertension, arthritis, atherosclerosis, depression, adult-onset diabetes, blood clots and some cancers. EPA is part of the membranes of all cells and the membrane around intracellular organelles. It is required for the production of a special group of substances in the body called prostaglandins, which control blood clotting and other arterial functions. EPA also provides a natural approach to lower serum triglycerides. It is also know to assist in lowering insulin requirements in diabetics. Omega-6 The other essential fat family is Omega-6. Of all the tissues in the body, the brain has the highest proportion of omega-6 fats. Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is obtained from borage oil. These levels of essential fats promote brain function and health. Supplementing with GLA, has proven effective in a wide variety of mental health problems. 100mg of GLA is recommended per day. Fish oils, mainly cold-water fish are best source of omega-3 fatty acids. At least 200mg of EPA and 200mg of EPA are required each day. EPA and GLA work best with balanced GLA supplementation.
