1. What are the ingredients of Essential Fatty Acid?
Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate (Salmon Oil)、Soy Lecithin、Borage Seed Oil、Evening Primrose & Triple Lecithin
2. What is Marine Lipid Oil Concentrate (Salmon Oil)、Soy Lecithin、Borage Seed Oil、Evening Primrose & Triple Lecithin?
Marine lipid oil concentrate (salmon oil), also called omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in oil from certain types of fish, vegetables, and other plant sources. These essential fatty acids are molecules that cannot be synthesized by the human body but are vital for normal metabolism and must be consumed in the diet. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids work by lowering the body's production of triglycerides. High levels of triglycerides can lead to coronary artery disease, heart disease, and stroke.
Lecithin is yellow-brownish fatty substance in animal and plant tissues, and in egg yolk. It is an important component of cell walls and cell membranes It is composed of phosphoric acid, choline, fatty acids, glycerol, glycolipids, triglycerides, and phospholipids (e.g., phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol). Phosphatidylcholine occurs in all cellular organisms, being one of the major components of the phospholipid portion of the cell membrane. The lecithin is a mixture of various phospholipids, and the composition depends on the origin of the lecithin. A major source of lecithin is soybean oil. It is used commercially in foods requiring a natural emulsifier or lubricant. Triple lecithin is a product in which the choline content has been increased by a factor of three.
Borage seed oil is derived from the seeds of the Borago officinalis (borage). It is used for anti-inflammatory, for improving arthritis and joint pain, as well as certain skin conditions (e.g. atopic dermatitis) and inflammation of the lungs/ breathing passages. It is rich in γ linolenic acid (omega 6) of seed oils.
Evening primrose oil is a natural source of essential fatty acids. It is high in the essential fatty acid γ-linolenic acid (GLA- Omega 6). Evening primrose oil is used primarily to relieve the itchiness associated with certain skin conditions (such as eczema and dermatitis) and to ease breast tenderness from premenstrual syndrome (PMS) or other causes. Some of the uses for it include allergies, arthritis, diabetic neuropathy, menopausal symptoms, etc.
3. Why do we need to have essential fatty acids (omega 3,6,9)?
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in oil from certain types of fish, vegetables, and other plant sources. These essential fatty acids are molecules that cannot be synthesized by the human body but are vital for normal metabolism and must be consumed in the diet.
Essential fatty acids are necessary to make cell membranes and for many of the important hormones and other chemical messengers that tell your body what to do. Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids are especially important for making prostaglandins in your body. Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that regulate many activities in your body including inflammation, pain, and swelling, etc. They also play a role in controlling your blood pressure, your heart, your kidneys, your digestive system, and body temperature. They are important for allergic reactions, blood clotting and making other hormones.

- Help lubricate joints
- Help protect mucus membranes
- Help in anti-inflammatory
- May assist in stabilizing cholesterol
- Help protect the brain and eyes

4. Is it safe to take Essential Fatty Acid?
Essential fatty acids (good fats) include omega-3 (EPA, DHA) and omega-6 (LA, GLA) in the best proportion to help transport nutrients to different parts of the body and maintain good health. Besides, vitamin E is added to help guard against the oxidation of valuable ingredients and promotes the well being of blood vessels. You are probably wondering when is the best time to begin taking Omega 3 supplements or increase your natural intake of the fatty acid. Omega 3 is actually something that you should be including in your diet on a regular basis. Even when you are not pregnant, you should aim to get a fair bit of omega 3 into your body.
5. What are the Syndromes when Lacking in Essential Fatty Acid?
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are responsible for the health of our skin, hair and nails. When deficient in these fats the health of our skin/hair/nails suffers, acting as a general indicator for our levels of these critical fatty acids. The significance of these deficiencies goes far beyond the presence of these obvious deficiency symptoms and relates to a large variety of chronic diseases and conditions, including cardiovascular disease, inflammatory/auto-immune conditions, mental health conditions, etc. Whether you are trying to overcome a particular health issue or are simply trying to preserve your health, then your balance of fatty acids deserves some attention.
