Omega 3 supplements are a great start to taking control of runaway inflammation in your body. But did you know you also need health forms of Omega 6 and Omega 9 oils for optimum clinical effectiveness? Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) all work together in the body to promote health and protect against degeneration and disease.

Consumption of EFAs is absolutely required for optimal health. EFA imbalances are very common in modern societies, particularly those whose diet is over-reliant on grains or in those who consume an abundance of processed foods containing artificial ingredients or hydrogenated fats (the standard American diet, SAD).

Everything from cognitive and neurological deficits, elevated blood pressure, coagulation issues, altered lipid profiles, impaired wound healing, immune and mental deficiencies, impaired vision or growth, and a wide variety of dermatological responses have been attributed to EFA deficiencies. Optimal EFAs Caps® was strategically formulated with noted researcher and author, Alex Vasquez, DC, ND, DO to provide an ideal balance of Omega-3, -6, & -9 fatty acids. Supplied as a unique blend of the highest quality fish, flaxseed, and borage oils that are tested for purity, collectively they provide ALA, EPA, DHA, GLA, and Oleic Acid in ratios that are optimal.
