    Essential fatty acids (EFA) are good fats that can only be obtained in the diet. These fatty acids not only provide fuel but also effect many biological processes such as inflammation, immune and brain functions, and blood lipid levels (triglycerides).

    There are two families of EFAs: omega-3 and omega-6. The dietary balance between these two EFAs strongly affects their functions. An optimal dietary balance of omega-6 to omega-3 may be 3:1 or even lower. The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.), rich in omega-6 vegetable oils (corn, safflower,) and saturated fats, is 10:1 or higher!

    The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) recommend we consume much more omega 3 fatty acids, while cutting down on omega-6 EFAs, trans fat (hydrogenated), saturated fat, cholesterol and fried fats.

    The main sources of omega 3 fatty acids in the American diet include fish, flaxseed and walnuts. Other good, but less common sources include pumpkin, chia and hemp seeds, canola oil, avocado and blue-green algae (spirulina/ chlorella). Grass fed livestock are also much higher in omega-3 fats than grain fed domestic livestock.

    Therefore, when it comes to a healthy omega 3/6 EFA balance, it is difficult for most Americans to eat a balanced diet. Because of this, many health professionals recommend omega 3 dietary supplements and consuming the new "functional foods" now being fortified with omega-3 EFAs.

  • Optimum Vegan Omega-3 from Flaxseed and Marine Algae

    Omega-3 fatty acids molecules come in short chains and long chains. The short chain omega-3 is called alpha- linolenic acid (ALA) and its richest source by far is flaxseed. The long chain omega-3s are called EPA and DHA. Their richest source is marine algae (DHA), plankton and the fish that eat them. Both are important for optimal health. It is generally recommended that at the very least 1-2% of the total calories eaten comes from omega-3 fatty acids which is equal to a very minimum of 500- 1,000 mg of omega-3 a day.

    One serving of NanOmega3 supplies a minimum of 1,000 mg of ALA omega-3 a day, plus a minimum of 100 mg of DHA from marine algae. ALA can be converted to EPA, though rates vary. A 20% conversion rate would mean a serving of NanOmega3 provides the equivalent of 300 units EPA/ DHA a day. Dietary recommendations for the long chain EPA/DHA omega-3 vary from a low of 160 to a high of 650 mg a day. Therapeutic doses may be even higher.

    “Both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are essential... omega-6 are significantly more inflammatory... This necessitates that omega-3 and omega-6 be consumed in a balanced proportion; the ideal ratio of omega-6:omega-3 being from 3:1. Typical Western diets provide ratios of between 10:1 and 30:1 - i.e., dramatically skewed toward omega-6.” Simopoulos AP, Cleland LG (eds): "Omega-6/omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid Ratio: The Scientific Evidence."
