People often associate fats as something to avoid in your diet. However, certain fats are not only beneficial, but essential for a healthy functioning body. These beneficial fats are known as Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). They are termed “essential” because your body cannot produce them on its own so they must come from your diet and/or supplementation.
These EFA are necessary for the following processes:
Formation of healthy cell membranes
Proper development and functioning of the brain and nervous system
Proper thyroid and adrenal activity
Hormone production
Regulation of blood pressure, liver function, immune and inflammatory responses
Regulation of blood clotting
Crucial for the transport and breakdown of cholesterol
Support healthy skin and hair
EFA Complex is a good source of essential fatty acids from evening primrose oil, borage oil, organic flaxseed oil, and marine lipids.‡
Warning: If you are pregnant or lactating woman, have any health conditions, or are taking any medication, make sure to consult your healthcare provider prior to use.
