Herbal Select Essential 3-6-9

Essential fatty acids cannot be produced in the human body and are therefore required in the diet for the maintenance of good health. Both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are considered essential, however omega-3s have garnered much more attention due to their health benefits.

A recent meta-analysis of randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials concluded that dietary omega-3 supplementation should be considered in the secondary prevention of cardiovascular events. This conclusion was based on significant reductions in risk of cardiovascular deaths, sudden cardiac death, all-cause mortality and non-fatal cardiovascular events. Another meta-analysis concluded that fish oil supplementation results in a clinically significant, dose-dependent reduction of fasting blood triglycerides in hyperlipidemic patients.

Omega-3s are also effective at reducing inflammatory joint pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or joint pain which is secondary to inflammatory bowel disease and dysmenorrhea. Long chain omega-3s are crucial to the developing nervous system, and in people of all ages fish oil helps support brain and cognitive function. Skin conditions can be  modulated and improved through the use of dietary flaxseed and borage oils, sources rich in essential fatty acids. The benefits of essential fatty acids are numerous and ever emerging; the above-mentioned are but a few of the best understood and studied health effects.
