OMEGA-3 FATTY ACID
Fatty acids are not 'fats' in the common sense of the word. Rather they are nutrients that the body utilizes to make
other chemicals that it needs.
There are 2 essential fatty acids, Omega-3 and Omega-6. By essential is meant that the body cannot make them
and must obtain them from other sources - in this instance, plants.
There are essentially 3 types of Omega-3 fatty acids.(more on Omega-6s later):
- Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) - These are ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS found only in plants and cannot be made by
the body. - Eicospentanoic acid (EPA) - These are very important Fatty acids that can be made by the body from ALA
or they can be taken in from foods, especially fish. - Decosahexanoic acid(DHA) - These are also very important Fatty acids that can be made from Omega-3s
or taken in from food, especially cold water fish.
SO, NO ALA = NO EPA OR DHA - EXCEPT FROM COLD WATER D FISH. ( FISH CANNOT MAKE THEM EITHER BUT
THEY GET IT FROM ALGAE) -- AND WE CAN GET IT BY EATING THE FISH.
FUNCTION
ALA - The only known function of ALA in humans is to serve as a source for the synthesis of EPA and DHA. In other
words, no ALA = no EPA and no DHA (although these can be obtained from some foods, especially cold water fish
(the fish get ALA from microscopic plants that they eat and convert it to EPA and DHA ... as we do)
EPA - Excessive Allergic and Immunological Responses.
These are present in cell membranes and play a critical role as chemical and structural agents in immune and
inflammatory responses..In a normal, balanced food intake the ratio of the Omega-6 (more about these later) and
Omega-3 would be 1:1 or 1:2. The ratio in the average American diet it is more than 10:1 - not very healthy
because this creates imbalances in immune and inflammatory responses leading to exaggerated allergic and
immune response type of diseases.
LIGNANS AND SOLUBLE FIBERS - Anti cancer Phytochemicals.
Flax is richer in these phytochemicals than any plant source. For example, 2 of Omega-3 SuperVeggies Veggies capsules contain more
soluble fiber, for which oat meal is touted, than 3 cups of oat meal.
The way to overcome this imbalance is to take in more Omega-3s and less Omega-6. To our knowledge the best non-animal source of
Omega-3 is Flax seed and Flax seed sprouts. There are others such as walnut, poppy seed, purslane and canola oil but they are also rich
in omega 6s.
To decrease the intake of Omega-6s, one must decrease the intake of Fast foods, Pre-prepared food, cookies, cakes etc. since these are
very rich in useless trans fatty acids and Omega-6s.
Pre-term Infants and Children - DHA is found in very high concentrations in the retina and has been shown to be needed for the proper
development (foetus and child). of eye and brain functions.
Pre-term infants obtain DHA from mother. So, a mother must have adequate intake of Omega 3- ALA, EPA and DHA. This can be done
by taking flax, walnuts, etc.) or through cold water fish or fish oils. In th case of taking EPA and DHA supplements one must be careful to:
1- Maintain the balance of Omega- 6a to Omega-3s
2. To avoid fish or fish oil from fish exposed to toxins such methyl mercury, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
As a bonus, when one takes the Omega-3 Blend for the Omega-3 benefit, they also obtain large amounts of anti-cancer soluble fiber -
two of our capsules contain more soluble fiber than 3 cups of oatmeal.
