Complete Essential Fatty Acids | Vitabase health

Fatty acids are divided into two categories: essential and non-essential. The human body can produce non-essential fatty acids by converting amino acids found in meals.

The body, on the other hand, cannot produce necessary fatty acids. It can only receive them from food sources directly. Linoleic acid (LA), an omega-6 fatty acid, and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fatty acid, are both essential fatty acids.

These fatty acids help to regulate the immune system and the central nervous system by producing hormones.

Vitabase Complete Essential Fatty Acids

EFAs (essential fatty acids) are fats that are essential for good health. They must be consumed through diet or supplements because the body cannot generate them. EFAs are found in every cell of your body and are essential for cell, muscle, neuron, and organ growth and function.

According to estimates, up to 80% of Americans do not consume enough EFAs, resulting in a deficiency that can lead to major health issues such as heart disease and diabetes. Omega-6 EFAs are more common in our diets than omega-3 EFAs, although both are essential for good health.

Omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids should be balanced, with a ratio of 1:1 to 1:3 being ideal. Unfortunately, Americans are currently eating these EFAs at an unbalanced ratio of 1:40! Excessive consumption of omega-6 EFAs can result in diabetes and obesity.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been endorsed by the American Heart Association as beneficial to the heart. Consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may lessen the incidence of coronary heart disease, according to preliminary studies. Strong evidence suggests that GLA and HDA, two popular EFAs, can aid with menopausal symptoms and that DHA is essential for brain function. Before conclusive health benefits can be established, more research is required.

Why not take a supplement that has all three essential fatty acids instead of trying to select between fish oil, flax seed oil, and borage oil? This step ensures that you obtain the full range of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acid advantages.
