Nutritional Oils Quick Facts

Fish Oils
A flood of scientific findings on the protective power of fish oils for the heart points to a startling conclusion: Certain omega-3 fatty acids in the oil, consumed either from fish or fish-oil capsules, appear to offer as much protection against dying from coronary heart disease as do cholesterol-lowering drugs. That's particularly important after menopause in women and after age 45 in men, when coronary risk starts to rise.

Flax Oil
Flax oil is the richest vegetable source of omega 3 oils, providing the hormonal balance necessary for a healthful body shape. Studies have shown that the omega 3's also:
1. Reduce the pain, inflammation and swelling of arthritis
2. Lower bad cholesterol and triglyceride levels
3. Help reduce the hardening of cell membranes.

Q&A on Nutritional Oils
What do I need to know about Nutritional Oils?

Contrary to popular myth, the body needs fat, the right kind of fat: essential fatty acids (EFAs). There are about 20 known fatty acids used by our bodies to maintain normal function. These include Omega 3s and Omega 6s.

Of these EFAs, omega 3s and omega 6s cannot be synthesized. We must attain them through our diets or supplementation. The omega 3s are the most difficult to find in the diet and we rarely consume enough.

One of the most critical roles of essential fatty acids are in brain function. EFAs are found in high concentrations in the brain They aid in transmission of nerve impulses and are needed for normal development and functioning of the brain. EFA deficiency can lead to impaired ability to learn and recall information.

What are the consequences of a deficiency of essential fatty acids?

Deficiencies can lead to skin problems such as dry, scaly skin and eczema. Other common imbalances are dry hair and hair loss, nail problems, gallstones, irritability, liver problems, varicose veins, vulnerability to infections, low body weight and retarded growth.

I've heard remarkable things about the benefits of nutritional oils, such as improving skin and hair, reducing blood pressure, aiding in prevention of arthritis, lowering bad cholesterol, etc. Can these essential oils really affect all these areas of health?

New research is constantly proving the remarkable benefits of nutritional oils (EFAs). Add to the list reducing triglyceride levels and risk of blood clot formation (and thus heart attack and stroke), and combating such conditions as candidiasis, cardiovascular disease, eczema and psoriasis to name a few. There is a vast amount of easily accessible EFA information on the Internet. A little research will convince most people of the importance of EFA's, but the real proof of any nutritional supplement will always be in the usage.

Is it necessary to store Nutritional Oils in the refrigerator?

During normal usage (over a period of several months), storage at room temperature is entirely sufficient since there is sufficient Vitamin E, a natural preservative, to preserve the product's freshness. If you're storing your Nutritional Oils for an extended period of time, refrigeration is preferable.
