Essential Fatty Acids

Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are the great health buzzword of the decade. Not only do they boost brainpower and mood, they help balance hormones, improve skin conditions, lower bad cholesterol and protect your heart. It sounds too good to be true, yet the research is pretty conclusive.

Studies show EFA's can improve IQ and concentration and ease hormonal imbalances like PMS by up to 60%. However many nutritionists believe we aren't getting enough of these important fats in our diets - which is why it's so essential to supplement!

Essential Fatty Acids come in different forms - the most famous being Omega-3 and Omega-6 fats. The best sources of Omega-3 fats are Cod Liver Oil, Linseed Oil and other Fish Oils, while the best source of Omega-6 is Starflower Oil (also known as Borage Oil). For a full cover of EFA's, try our Omega 3,6,9 supplement which contains a triple whammy and is in a fully Vegetarian form

Remember, deficiency in EFAs is a key factor in contributing to premenstrual tension, water retention and irritability (see our Women's Health section for more supplements). Supplementing with EFAs will also help you if you have dry or inflamed skin. Eczema can noticeably improve when people take an EFA supplement regularly (see Beauty from Within).

Any EFA supplement is likely to give your brainpower and mood a boost too. A large part of the brain is made from these fats and studies have found they can lift depression and increase children's performance in exams. Don't forget your Heart health either. EFA's lower levels of bad cholesterol and protect blood vessel walls so provide a fantastic form of health insurance for later on in life.
