The Value of Omega-3 EFAs

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are "healthy and good" fats that are required by the body for proper function and health. EFAs are not made by the body and must be supplied in the diet. Without them, the body cannot be healthy. The average diet is exceptionally high in Omega-6 EFAs, but is drastically low in the health benefiting Omega-3s. And unfortunately, the diet is even lower in the two most important Omega-3s: EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid).

The EPA & DHA Difference

Every team has its "Most Valuable Players," and when it comes to the Omega-3 Team, EPA and DHA are MVPs. EPA and DHA are the two most studied derivatives of the beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids. EPA and DHA are recognized by the scientific community as critical in providing the majority of health benefits associated with Omega-3s. Although products tout the health benefits of Omega-3s, many are relatively low in the most important ones: EPA and DHA.

Increasing Omega-3: Plant or Marine Source of Omega-3s?

Although Omega-3s can be found in high concentration in plant material (such as flax) the body must convert these "upstream" Omega-3s into the most active Omega-3s: EPA and DHA. Most experts agree this conversion of upstream dietary Omega-3s (such as ALA) for the average (non-pregnant) individual is between 1-10%, dependent upon metabolite. In addition, increased age, digestive challenges, ill health and poor quality plant oil can lower this rate even further. As such, almost all agree that direct supplementation with the active Omega-3 metabolites EPA and DHA are the best way to supplement one's diet.

   * Remember, the two prime Omega-3s that are most important to health are EPA and DHA
   * EPA and DHA are virtually absent in vegetable sources of Omega-3s
   * To obtain EPA and DHA in substantial quantities, we must turn to marine (fish) sources

How can I increase my EPA & DHA Omega-3s?

Fish is really the only significant source of these beneficial Omega-3s in the diet. However, there are warnings regarding consuming large quantities of fish due to concerns over environmental contaminants, such as mercury and PCBs. Furthermore, some individuals do not like the taste of fish.

An Omega-3 dietary supplement with high content EPA and DHA, like EFACOR, is highly recommended by healthcare professionals. In addition, the American Heart Association (AHA) recommends the daily dietary intake of Omega-3 essential fatty acids EPA and DHA at 1,000 mg per day for cardiovascular health.

Safely Using EFACOR

   * Omega-3 essential fatty acids have an excellent record of safety and minimal interaction with medication
   * However, before starting EFACOR or any dietary supplement, please consult your healthcare professional. Tell your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, are trying to become pregnant or are breast-feeding
   * EFACOR should be used with caution by people with known sensitivity or an allergy to fish
