Having the correct balance of fatty acids within the body is vital. Healthcare professionals currently recommend that you eat a couple of portions of oily fish every week as part of a healthy diet. Oily fish are a rich source of omega-3 fats which are important to heart health, but which are also involved in many important roles within the body. They are beneficial for the normal development of the brain & nervous system & the maintenance of healthy eyesight. They have also been shown to help maintain blood lipid levels, support the health of the cardiovascular system & help maintain the flexibility & mobility of joints. Omega-3 fatty acids are not the only important source of fatty acids. Seed oils such as borage seed oil provide omega-6 fatty acids which again have multiple health benefits such as helping to maintain healthy skin & hormones. Essential Omegas combines DHA & EPA from fish oil, together with GLA from borage oil & now also DPA, another important Omega 3 fatty acid. EPA & DHA are the key omega 3 fatty acids, important for maintaining a healthy heart & arteries, supporting brain function & to help sustain flexible joints. GLA is a key omega 6 fatty acid which helps maintain hormone balance, helps keep the blood & blood vessels healthy & helps maintain normal blood.
