Essential Fatty Acids are like vitamins because they cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained from dietary sources. Once ingested the main dietary essential fatty acid linoleic acid (LA) must be transformed first to GLA in this process and then to a whole series of other natural substances essential to the bodys well being including prostaglandins (Essential Fatty Acid Metabolic Pathway). The effective completion of the first step in this process varies from person to person as has been shown by many university investigators. The formation of GLA may be blocked by substances in a typical western diet and can be hampered by stress excess alcohol smoking poor eating viral infections and a number of commonly occurring diseases. Under these conditions Efamol scientists found that there may be considerable advantages to supplying preformed GLA to the body directly using EPO.

The key ingredient of Efalex is tuna oil selected from a specific part of the fish due to the high DHA content. These oils are purified and do not contain levels of vitamin A and vitamin D typically found in fish liver oils. Rich in omega-6 fatty acids Efamols high quality extensively tested evening primrose oil is a main ingredient. Vitamin E and thyme oil are added as antioxidants.- Support all aspects of brain and eye function. - Supplement the intake of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPs) needed for healthy brain and visual development, including learning ability, concentration and co-ordination. - Supply DHA and AA - important building blocks of the brain, nervous system and eye. - Provide EPA & GLA - needed in the transmission of messages between nerves.
Good nutrition is important throughout life, but medical and nutritional experts agree that it is even more important if you are planning to conceive, are expecting a baby, or are currently breastfeeding. Indeed, it is increasingly being recognised that the nutritional status of a woman has important implications for the development, and future health and wellbeing of her children. This does not mean that you require a special diet, or need to ‘eat for two’, it simply means that you need a good intake of those nutrients that are essential for your baby’s healthy growth and development. Variety is key to a healthy balanced diet. By eating a range of different foods each day, including fruit and vegetables, cooked meat and fish, sources of carbohydrate like pasta, as well as dairy products including milk and cheese, you will obtain all the various nutrients that your baby needs, as well as keeping yourself in top condition, too. Of particular interest is the fact that organisations such as the Department of Health and the British Nutrition Foundation recommend we all eat more fish – at least two portions a week, of which one should be oily fish like salmon or mackerel. The main reason for this is because in addition to being an excellent low-fat protein source, oily fish is also rich in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. In particular, the structural fatty acids play a vital role in the ‘nutritional preparation’ for pregnancy, since a diet that includes these can have positive outcomes for the developing baby and the expectant or breastfeeding mother. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) also recommends that we should all eat at least two portions of fish a week. They also say: ‘Girls and women who might have a baby one day, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, should eat no more than two portions of oily fish a week. Other women, men and boys, can eat up to four portions of oily fish.’

Eye Q offers a combination of the specific omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids required for optimal brain and eye function. The formulation is delivered in the form of high grade natural oils. We don’t use the word ‘natural’ lightly: in processing and selecting our oils, we ensure that only pure, naturally-sourced fatty acids are used. Our main reason for this specification is that many who take eye q are youngsters, and so we believe this makes it even more important that there are no ‘nasties’ included within the formulation. When we developed eye q, we looked closely at the research showing that certain fatty acids play a vital role in the development of vision, co-ordination, learning ability, memory and concentration, in children and adults. To reflect this work, we combined the highest possible natural source of omega-3 EPA, in the form of a particular marine lipid, with omega-6 GLA, provided by cold-pressed virgin evening primrose oil. There is good evidence that this formulation delivers the optimum ratio of fatty acids for eye and brain function. Testimonials from parents and children have indicated real benefits in learning ability and concentration. eye q has become the supplement of choice in the UK and leading European markets for anyone with concerns about fatty acid deficiency in learning and behaviour. The formulation has been scientifically tested, most notably in the ground-breaking Durham schools trial, the most thorough study yet of how fatty acids may be of benefit in the classroom.

Essential fats ‘oil’ the body by lubricating the joints and skin, as well as being a vital component of every human cell. The body needs them to balance hormones, insulate nerve cells, keep the skin and arteries supple and to keep the body warm.The Western diet is usually high in Omega 6s - but we are eating too much Omega 6 oils and not enough Omega 3.Over the last century there has been an 80% decrease in the consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids - many people are deficient in these important and essential fatty acids.The Department of Health recommends that we should all double our intake of omega 3’s by eating oily fish (such as salmon) two to three times a week. But more and more research indicates that it is wise to supplement fatty acids and not to rely just on dietary intake.Benefits:• Omega 3 oils can reduce the risk of heart disease, circulatory problems such as varicose veins• May help to decrease the risk of irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias), reduce the possibility of harmful clots by reducing the clumping together of platelets• Decrease the growth of fatty plaques that can fur up the arteries• Help to lower blood pressure• Reduce the levels of triglycerides (stores of fat) in the blood• Omega 3 fatty acids help to reduce inflammation and painful joints in general.• Omega 3 supplementation may be helpful for both mood swings and anxiety• Helping children with hyperactivity and dyslexia is well knownNHP’s Omega 3 Plus capsules have ALL the above key quality factors – it is probably the best and strongest Omega 3 Supplement in the UK

Every stage in life requires fatty acids for essential brain function, and adults are no exception. Optimal mental function is vital for any task, and the research is clear: particular nutritional inputs can greatly enhance performance. This is why the latest addition to our range is eye q mind: a formulation specifically developed for adults that includes a combination of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, B vitamins, zinc and magnesium.Fatty acids: matter for the mind The billions of nerve cells and connections that form the central nervous system depend on the presence of omega-3 and -6 long chain fatty acids for the brain to function. In fact about 20% of the dry weight of the brain consists of these fatty acids. In order of importance, the fatty acids included in the formulation, are: - Omega-3 Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) plays an important role in maintaining and developing certain aspects of brain and eye function, such as moment to moment brain cell signalling. - Omega-6 Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) contains anti-inflammatory properties and can be converted by the body into Arachidonic Acid, a fatty acid that forms an integral part of nerve endings. - Omega-3 Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is a structural fatty acid found in the brain and eyes, thus is important for providing ongoing repair. The following nutrients work to ensure the proper functioning of the nervous system and so influence concentration and mental performance: B Vitamins for a better brain Vitamin B12 and folic acid play a role in the formation of healthy blood, which transports oxygen and facilitates its utilisation through the hemispheres in the brain. Vitamin B6, along with zinc and magnesium, are essential elements for the functioning of the nervous system and are also required for the synthesis of neuro-transmitters, which allow for communication between neurons and cells. Zinc and Vitamin E Zinc and Vitamin E are antioxidants that help protect cells and tissues from free radical damage. Antioxidants are of particular importance in helping to protect nerve cells. Zinc may also help maintain healthy nerve cells because of its role in cell replication. Magnesium for muscles and nerves Magnesium assists muscle and nerve function, and also helps regulate blood glucose levels, important in fuelling the brain throughout the day. Our bodies cannot make these nutrients, and it is therefore crucial that an adequate intake is maintained in our diets. eye q mind can help ensure dietary intake of these vital nutrients.
