YOUR INFONOTES Immuno Quest Laboratories, Inc. 724 York Rd. Baltimore, MD 21204 800-937-4881 www.iq-lab.com 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):
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.
