OmegaThera (100 Softgels)
Discontinued. See Super Omega 3-6-9 as a substitute.
DESCRIPTION
A unique mix of omega-3, 6, and 9 fatty acids plus conjugated linoleic acid to help rebalance fatty acid intake.
FUNCTIONS
This mixed fatty acid supplement supplies important fatty acids that are often difficult to obtain from the diet. OmegaThera was formulated to favor omega-3 fatty acids over omega-6 fatty acids to help maintain a healthy fatty acid ratio when added to typical diets that tend to be too low in omega-3. Omega-3 fatty acids are present as alpha-linolenic acid, an essential dietary fatty acid, as well as EPA and DHA, activated forms of omega-3 known for their ability to support a variety of physiological processes, including regulation of inflammation and lipoprotein metabolism, and brain and immune function. Omega-6 fatty acids are also supplied as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), the activated form of omega-6 whose conversion from linoleic acid (LA) may be compromised by poor diet and other factors. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a variant of linoleic acid, favorably influences fat metabolism and offers unique cell protective benefits. Oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid, is also present as a natural constituent of flax seed oil.
