BioCare - Patrick
Holford Essential Omegas
Fish Oil and Borage Oil
Complex
-
Essential Omegas is a combination of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids
-
Essential Omegas contains GLA from borage oil and DHA and EPA from fish
oil
-
Fatty Acids support the healthy function of many systems in the body
including the heart, skin, joints and brain
BioCare Essential Omegas, formulated and
endorsed by Patrick Holford, combines DHA and EPA from fish oil, together
with GLA from borage oil. EPA and DHA are the key omega 3 fatty acids,
important for maintaining a healthy heart and arteries, supporting brain
function and to help maintain flexible joints. GLA is an important omega 6
fatty acid which helps maintain hormone balance, helps keep the blood and
blood vessels healthy and helps maintain normal blood.
Nutritional Information per Daily Intake (2 capsules):
1514mg Fish Oil
(providing 300mg EPA and 200mg DHA)
500mg Borage Oil
(providing 100mg GLA)
Allergen Information:
Fish oil from fish, mixed
tocopherols (vitamin E) and lecithin from soya
BioCare Essential
Omegas is soon to be reformulated to contain DPA – another important Omega 3
fatty acid. |

Essential
Fatty Acids
Fatty
acids are the basic structural units of lipids, which are dietary fats.
The body can synthesize many fatty acids, but those that cannot be manufactured
in adequate amounts must be obtained from the diet. These are called
essential fatty acids (EFAs).
Fatty
acids are classified as saturated, monosaturated or polyunsaturated –
depending on the amount of hydrogen in the basic carbon chain of the molecule.
(The
process of ‘hydrogenation’ – hydrogenated vegetable oil – involves
adding hydrogen to the molecule to make a polyunsaturated, liquid oil, into a
saturated, solid oil, such as margarine).
Many
nutritionists and scientists report Americans consume too much omega-6 fatty
acids and under-consume omega-3 fatty acids. (The terms omega-3 and
omega-6 refer to the location of the first double bond in the carbon atom of the
fatty acid molecule.) Including more omega-3-rich foods such as fish in
the diet and decreasing the consumption of omega-6 foods such as some
hydrogenated oils, may help maintain proper hormonal balance and overall health
and wellness.
Essential
fatty acids offer profound benefits. They help:
-
Influence
hormone production, immunity and cardiovascular health.
-
Maintain
the structure and function of the cellular and sub-cellular membranes.
-
Regulate
cholesterol transport, degradation and removal from the body.
-
Influence
prostaglandins – hormone-like substances that promote smooth muscle
contractions, regulate blood pressure, regulate gastric secretions, and
impact other hormones – through a series of enzyme-dependent reactions.
-
Support
normal growth, especially of blood vessels and nerves.
-
Keep
skin and other tissue youthful and supple by lubricating abilities.
EFAs
are most abundant in fish oils and unadulterated seed oils, such as canola,
sunflower and safflower oils. Flaxseed oil is an exceptional oil,
containing both omega-3 and omega-6 in appreciable amounts. Cold saltwater
fatty fish – such as herring, haddock, cod, mackerel, and salmon – are also
rich in omega-3 polyunsaturates and serve as the source of fish oil supplements.
The
most important fatty acids are linoleic acid, linolenic acid, gamma linolenic
acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Omega
6 and omega 3 oils may not be suitable for individuals taking anti-blood
clotting drugs such as Warfarin, Coumarin and Heparin.
GLA
(Evening Primrose Oil) may not be suitable for people suffering from epilepsy.
Fish oils may not be suitable for people allergic to fish.
