Product Description ------------------- Echium seed oil has a unique omega-3-6-9 makeup that makes it superior to other commonly available oils such as flaxseed. Echium seed oil is rich in a special form of omega-3 called SDA that is much more easily converted to EPA and DHA - the active long-chain omega-3s in fish oil that offer brain, heart and eye benefits. In comparison with flaxseed oil, echiomega echium seed oil generates 60 percent more omega-3 EPA in the body. Echium seed oil is also rich in s typically sourced from other y oils. Echium contains the 'good' omega-6 GLA, for which evening primrose oil is sought after, as well as the omega-9 oleic -the principal in olive oil that is consumed in large as in the Mediterranean diet. Offering an optimal balance of omega-3-6-9, Echiomega is an excellent source of -enhancing good s. Echium seed oil is the ideal tional supplement for those who are vegetarian, vegan or ic to fish, to help boost the levels of the important omega s in the diet. Each box contains 60 s, providing a 1-month supply at a daily dosage of 2 s. Indications ----------- Indications Echiomega contains approximately 73% polyunsaturated ty s, of which 26% are omega-6 and 47% omega-3. This optimal omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 1:1.8 makes it an ideal oil for nutraceutical application. Echiomega is also the highest commercially available source of SDA, a unique vegetarian omega-3 ty that has known benefits for immune function and for regulating inflammatory pathways. Furthermore, as the direct precursor to EPA, SDA can synthesise up to 5 times more EPA than ALA alone, making Echium Seed Oil a superior alternative to other -derived oils such as flaxseed or hempseed oil. EPA is a very important ty that plays an integral role in the proper functioning and structure of the brain. EPA may improve the cardiovascular system by reducing the stickiness of platelets in the blood and by lowering blood pressure. It is also converted into prostaglandins (hormone-like substances which control many bodily functions) and leukotrienes (important for the correct functioning of the immune system) which regulate inflammation and pain, and also help to maintain y joints. The ty GLA is vital for the structure of the brain – it ensures that cell membranes are permeable, thus contributing to efficient brain function. GLA is the precursor to di-gamma-linolenic (DGLA), which is converted into prostaglandins that regulate inflammation, pain, blood clotting and fluid balance. Furthermore, oils that contain both SDA and GLA raise EPA levels significantly better than oils that contain SDA alone. Oleic , usually associated with the ‘Mediterranean diet’, has been shown to slow the development of heart disease by lowering total cholesterol levels and raising levels of high-density lipoproteins (HDL or ‘good’ cholesterol), whilst lowering low-density lipoproteins (LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol).
