Omega-3 Deficiency Symptoms:

In his book "Choosing the Right Fats", Udo Erasmus states "Your intake of n-3 (omega-3) is likely to have decreased to 1/6 of what people consumed in 1850. N-3 deficiency is widespread. This is due to the fact that n-3 is very sensitive to destruction during processing, and is removed from foods to extend product shelf life."

He continues "A deficiency in n-3 is more difficult to identify than n-6. The reason is that n-6 (omega-6) can partially cover n-3 deficiencies. N-3, on the other hand, cannot cover for a shortage of n-6. If your body suffers an n-3 deficiency, you may have the following symptoms."

He lists the following omega-3 deficiency symptoms:

• Retarded growth

• Behavioral* change

• Weakness

• Weakened vision

• Learning problems

• Depression

• Hyperactivity, attention deficit, and dyslexia

• Poor motor coordination

• Poor muscle growth

• Impaired healing of injuries

• Tingling sensations in arms and legs

• Insulin resistance

• High triglycerides

• High blood pressure

• Sticky platelets, or tendency to form clots in arteries, leading to heart attack, stroke, or embolism

• High lipoprotein(a) - a strong predictive risk factor for cardiovascular disease

• High fibrinogen - a clotting risk factor

• Inflammation in tissues

• Leaky gut

• Allergies

• Auto-immune conditions

• Increased susceptibility to tumor growth

• Water retention of odema

• Dry or inflamed skin

• Low metabolic rate

• Low energy level

• Lowered thyroid and adrenal function

• Low testosterone level

Eat the Right Fat or Die Prematurely! (The truth about the big "FAT" lies)

Suggested Intake: Take 1-3 teaspoons (5-15ml) daily

One teaspoon omega organic garlic-chilli flax seed oil (5ml) typically provides:

2533mg   Alpha-linolenic acid (omega 3EFA)

733mg     Linoleic acid (omega 6 EFA)

1000mg   Omega 9 fatty acids

No added: sugar, salt, starch, soya, yeast, wheat, gluten, maize/corn, lactose, dairy products, artificial preservatives, colours or flavourings. Non GM. Suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Kosher. Correct as at 20.12.05)

Keep refrigerated.

Fatty acids are the basic structural units of lipids, which are dietary fats.  The body can synthesize many fatty acids, but those that cannot be manufactured in adequate amounts must be obtained from the diet.  These are called essential fatty acids (EFAs).

Fatty acids are classified as saturated, monosaturated or polyunsaturated – depending on the amount of hydrogen in the basic carbon chain of the molecule.

(The process of ‘hydrogenation’ – hydrogenated vegetable oil – involves adding hydrogen to the molecule to make a polyunsaturated, liquid oil, into a saturated, solid oil, such as margarine). 

Many nutritionists and scientists report Americans consume too much omega-6 fatty acids and under-consume omega-3 fatty acids.  (The terms omega-3 and omega-6 refer to the location of the first double bond in the carbon atom of the fatty acid molecule.)  Including more omega-3-rich foods such as fish in the diet and decreasing the consumption of omega-6 foods such as some hydrogenated oils, may help maintain proper hormonal balance and overall health and wellness.

Essential fatty acids offer profound benefits.  They help:

• Influence hormone production, immunity and cardiovascular health.

• Maintain the structure and function of the cellular and sub-cellular membranes.

• Regulate cholesterol transport, degradation and removal from the body.

• Influence prostaglandins – hormone-like substances that promote smooth muscle contractions, regulate blood pressure, regulate gastric secretions, and impact other hormones – through a series of enzyme-dependent reactions.

• Support normal growth, especially of blood vessels and nerves.

• Keep skin and other tissue youthful and supple by lubricating abilities.

EFAs are most abundant in fish oils and unadulterated seed oils, such as canola, sunflower and safflower oils.  Flaxseed oil is an exceptional oil, containing both omega-3 and omega-6 in appreciable amounts.  Cold saltwater fatty fish – such as herring, haddock, cod, mackerel, and salmon – are also rich in omega-3 polyunsaturates and serve as the source of fish oil supplements.

The most important fatty acids are linoleic acid, linolenic acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Omega 6 and omega 3 oils may not be suitable for individuals taking anti-blood clotting drugs such as Warfarin, Coumarin and Heparin.

GLA (Evening Primrose Oil) may not be suitable for people suffering from epilepsy. Fish oils may not be suitable for people allergic to fish. 

Higher Nature have introduced Food FormTM vitamins and minerals to the UK and Europe. Their 'True Food CTM' was the first nutrition supplement product in the UK and Europe to provide a concentrated source of vitamin C truly bonded to proteins, carbohydrates and lipids in exactly the same was as in an orange. 

Higher Nature state that 'by pre-digesting the Ultra Food FormTM range of nutrients, they ensure that people with food sensitivities or allergies will not react to these supplements. Why? Because food allergies are triggered by long chain proteins and polysaccharides in foods. 

In Higher Nature Ultra Food FormTM nutrition supplements these big molecules have been pre-digested and broken down by natural enzymes, making absorption easy, and sensitivity reactions very unlikely.
