Without these healthy fats, our cells become porous and chemical or nutrient imbalances can occur. Essential fats are also used in our body to produce chemical messengers, such as hormones. This is how supplementation can help to optimize hormone levels in both men and women. [SOFTGEL]+ Earn 22 Reward Points

Flaxseeds are a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega 3 essential fatty acid. “Essential” means that the body does not produce the fatty acids on its own and therefore they must be taken in through the diet. The ALA in flaxseed oil helps maintain cholesterol levels because healthy fats build HDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is responsible for moving fat, from storage or plaques, into the liver where processing and excretion of fat occurs. By decreasing fatty buildup on arteries it helps to regulate blood pressure. This Flax Seed Oil from Omega Alpha is made with Linum usitatissimum (Flax Seed Oil) and Vitamin E (Mixed Tocopherols concentrate), designed to be taken as 1 - 2 tablespoon(s) per day.

Explore The Crucial Role Essential Fatty Acids Play In Health
Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are aptly named, given their pivotal role in sustaining optimal health and supporting the functioning of all of your body's systems. Indeed, EFAs are integral components the body cannot synthesize, so they must be acquired through dietary and/or supplementation. Among fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6 are the most significant. While both are indispensable, maintaining a delicate balance between the two is even more critical for optimal health and well-being. Let's take a closer look at each EFA and how they benefit health.
Navigating Omega's 3 & 6 As Essential Fatty Acids
Omega-3 oils represent a subset of essential fatty acids renowned for their profound physiological effects. In contrast to their far more prevalent omega-6 counterparts ubiquitous in Western diets, the levels of omega-3s in most people’s diets today are very subpar, with ratios looking more like 20:1 of omega-6s to omega-3s. This is problematic to health in many ways because, while omega-6s are indeed essential to health, they are also naturally pro-inflammatory. Omega-3s, on the other hand, are naturally anti-inflammatory. This is why a correct balance of omega-3s to 6s is critical to managing inflammation in the body, an integral part of our body's immune response. As a reminder, most chronic and degenerative conditions are known to be rooted in chronic inflammation, a fact that underscores the importance of a well-regulated inflammatory response.
Understanding Omega 3s For Health & Wellness
Omega-3s And Physiology
Omega-3 fatty acids are involved in a wide range of biological processes. From bolstering cognitive function and cardiovascular health to modulating inflammation and fostering skin health, these EFAs exert a significant influence throughout the body. Notably, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the two most prominent omega-3 fatty acids, play pivotal roles in cognitive development and cardiovascular health throughout life.
Unfortunately, as previously mentioned, most diets in industrialized countries lack omega-3 fatty acids. The potential repercussions are numerous, including cognitive deterioration, cardiovascular ailments, mood dysregulation, and the onset of inflammatory conditions. This is why it's important to ensure your diet includes plenty of omega-3-rich foods, both fish-based and plant-based. Supplementation can also significantly help bolster your omega-3 levels and even out omega-3 to omega-6 ratios.
Omega-3 Fatty Acid Sources
Omega-3 oils can be sourced from animals and plants, including fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines, all of which are abundant sources of EPA and DHA. Plant-based sources like flaxseeds, chia seeds, and walnuts are especially rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a precursor metabolized into the body's EPA and DHA in the body.
Research On Essential Fatty Acids
Research on omega-3s is extensive and has continually unveiled fresh insights into their therapeutic efficacy. Indeed, studies have shown that omega-3 supplementation can effectively mitigate cardiovascular risk factors, assuage symptoms of mood disorders, and counter age-related cognitive decline. Moreover, recent research has demonstrated that omega-3 supplementation modulates immune function and improves athletic performance, among many other surprising therapeutic benefits.
Health Benefits Of Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation
- Boosts Heart Health – Reduces Cholesterol, Triglycerides, & Risk Of Blood Clots
- Downregulates Inflammation
- Enhances Joint Health
- Helps Prevent Age-Related Cognitive Decline
- Helps Improve Fatty Liver
- Improves Symptoms Of Anxiety & Other Mood Disorders
- Promotes Brain Development During Pregnancy And Childhood
- Promotes Skin Health
- Reduces Symptoms Of ADHD
- Sharpens Eyesight
Omega 3s And Other Essential Fatty Acids – Forms & Dosing
Omega-3 supplements come in various forms, each with distinct characteristics that impact bioavailability and, ultimately, health benefits. Natural triglyceride forms of omega-3 supplements preserve omega-3 fatty acids in their natural state, enhancing their absorption and the body’s ability to use them.
- Free fatty acid omega-3 supplements offer a concentrated source of omega-3s that allows for quicker absorption, ideal for individuals with digestive issues.
- Ethyl esters omega-3s are synthetic forms commonly found in cheaper supplements; they require conversion by the body, which reduces absorption efficiency.
- Re-esterified triglycerides are similar to natural triglycerides but undergo processing to concentrate the omega-3s, which results in enhanced bioavailability, so they typically have a higher price point.
- Phospholipid-bound omega-3s, usually derived from krill oil, boast superior absorption due to their structural similarity to cell membranes in the body, offering greater benefits to brain and heart health.
Omega-3 supplements can be purchased in several delivery formats including capsules, chewable softgels, chews, gummies, liquid, oil, powder, and veggie caps. They come in different concentrations and ratios (i.e. EPA to DHA concentrations).
If you're new to supplementing with omega-3s or other EFAs, ask the knowledgeable staff at your favourite health food store or online supplement retailer for guidance.
Final Considerations On Omega-3s & Other Essential Fatty Acids
Incorporating omega-3 supplements into your daily routine is easy. Start your day by adding a tablespoon to your morning smoothie and blending it with fruits and vegetables for a nutritious kick. At lunchtime, drizzle a few spoonfuls of omega-3 oil over your salad, enhancing both flavour and nutritional value. For a creative twist, mix a liquid form of the supplement into homemade salad dressings or marinades, infusing dishes with a potent burst of essential fatty acids.
At dinner time, consider stirring omega-3 oil into warm soups or sauces just before serving, elevating taste and boosting health benefits. Alternatively, incorporate it into your evening ritual by mixing it into herbal teas or warm beverages for a soothing end to the day.
