ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS

Essential fatty acids (EFA) are necessary for the formation of healthy cell membranes, the proper development and functioning of the brain and nervous system, and for the production of hormone-like substances called eicosanoids (thromboxanes, leukotrienes, prostaglandins). These chemicals regulate numerous body functions including blood pressure, blood viscosity, vasoconstriction, immune and inflammatory responses. Humans have the ability to convert the linoleic and alpha-linolenic acid to longer chain fatty acids, which serve as precursors for eicosanoids.

EFAs cannot be made by the body, thus must be supplied through the diet. They can improve skin and hair, reduce blood pressure, aid in prevention of arthritis, lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels and reduce risk of blood clot formation. They are essential for rebuilding and producing new cells.

Essential Fatty Acids Supplements Failure to eat enough EFA's is a cause of hardening of the arteries, abnormal blood clot formation, coronary heart disease, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. EFA's are polyunsaturated fat and super polyunsaturated fat and are utilized as building materials for cell membranes in all cells in the body. Without them, the body has to use other harder fats, like saturated fat, which produce harder arteries, etc. EFA's also produce prostaglandins, hormone-like elements required for energy metabolism, cardiovascular and immune system health.
