OMEGA-FORCE 3-6-9 - Flax, Borage and Cold Water Fish Oilby RoseMarie Pierce B.Sc Pharm What is OMEGA-FORCE? PRAIRIE NATURALS OMEGA-FORCE is an optimum ratio blend of three beneficial fatty acids- Omega-3, Omega-6 and Omega-9. This formulation combines oils extracted from borage seeds, flax seeds, and cold-water fish. Omega-3 and Omega-6 are essential fatty acids, EFA's, Omega-9 fatty acid acts as nutritional support for EFA's. WHAT ARE ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS AND WHERE DO THEY COME FROM? Essential fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids that the body requires for good health but cannot make; we must obtain EFA's directly from the foods we eat and the supplements we take. Essential fatty acids belong to two groups, which scientists have named the Omega-3,(alpha-linolenic acid) and Omega 6,(linoleic acid) families of EFAs. The primary food sources of the Omega-3 oils are flax seed oil and fish body oils from cold-water fish (sardines, herring, mackerel, bluefish and salmon), Omega-6 oils are found in borage oil, evening primrose oil and black current oil, obtained from the seeds of these plants. WHY ARE THE ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS ESSENTIAL TO GOOD HEALTH? Essential fatty acids are the main structural component of every cell membrane in the body, making the balanced intake of EFAs absolutely essential for the healthy cellular function. The Benefits of taking Omega fats include: -Regulation of the body's metababolism of cholesterol and triglycerides -Production of eicosanoids and prostaglandins (hormone-like substances that regulate nearly all bodily functions) -Insulation the nerves and cushioning and protecting the tissues -Strengthening the cardiovascular system -Maintaining the health of skin and hair -Reducing inflammatory response -And supporting the function of the brain and eyes. A deficiency or imbalance of the Omega essential fats is linked to numerous health problems which include: arthritis (rheumatoid and osteorarthritis, (lung disease, heart irregularities, hardening of the arteries, diabetes, various types of cancers, immune dysfunction, hormonal and endocrine imbalances, inflammatory skin conditions, inflammatory bowel disease, learning disorders, diminished vision, and dry eyes. So we can see why taking essential fats if essential. WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY ABOUT OMEGA-3? Substantial research from around the world confirm that all diseases with an inflammatory component, (arthritis, colitis, Crohn's Disease, eczema, acne, psoriasis, asthma) respond positively to the therapeutic use of Omega-3 oils. A year-long study of 78 people with Crohn's disease showed 59 were symptom free after incorporating Omega-3 oils into their daily nutritional program. German researchers found that 20 people with acute cases of psoriasis improved dramatically in just one week after using Omega-3 oils. Danish researcher John Dyerberg, M.D. found that cold-water fish and fish body oils ( as found in OMEGA-FORCE ) reduced the incidence of fatal heart attack by 29%. Reserachers at New York's Cornell Medical Center found that Omega-3 promoted the production of enzumes that fight cancer causing compounds. WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY ABOUT OMEGA-6? Clinical research studies have shown the health benefits of EFA'S from Omega-6 oils to include: immune support, blood cholesterol reduction, the lowering of blood pressure, inflammation control better fat metabolism, the control and improvement of MS symptoms, the treatment of PMS, the potentiation of insulin, the prevention of nerve deterioration caused by diabetes, the improvement of acne, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis and other skin disorders. A study published in the lancet Medical Journal linked an increase in the intake of a balanced ratio of the Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids to healthier brain function and the reduction of both Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY ABOUT OMEGA-9? Omega -9 oils are monounsaturated fats that convert to oleic acid, the fatty acid responsible for popularizing the health advantages of the "mediterranean Diet". In Mediterranean countries, the high olive oil, (hence oleic fatty acid) consumption is associated with lower rates of breast cancer and heart disease. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF OMEGA-FORCE supplementation? OMEGA-FORCE provides the most readily converted and assimilated source of the Omega oils, OMEGA-FORCE contains equal amounts of borage oil, fish oil and flax oil to create the most therapeutic blend of Omega oil. Laboratory reports confirm the purity and potency of PRAIRIE NATURALS OMEGA-FORCE. |
