Genestra Super EFA Liquid Plus is a combination of EPA, DHA and plant sterols.
Recent research indicates that in diets high in monounsaturated fatty acids, a combination of plant sterols and fish oils better support cardiovascular health than fish oils alone. EPA and DHA decrease the breakdown of triglycerides in fat cells, while increasing their breakdown in the heart and skeletal muscle.
Fish oils cause adipose tissue to take up these fatty acids, and decrease their delivery to the liver. This prevents their incorporation into very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), molecules which transport lipids from the liver to other parts of the body, and leads to decreased VLDL production.
Oxidation of fatty acids in the liver, fat, heart and skeletal muscle is also increased. This converts fatty acids into acetyl-CoA for energy production in the Krebs cycle and decreases the amount of fatty acids available for the synthesis of triglycerides. Genes that regulate triglyceride synthesis, storage, and oxiidation are also affected by plant sterols.
In randomized, placebo-controlled trials, daily supplementation with 1.3-1.4 g of EPA and DHA in combination with plant sterols for 3-4 weeks significantly lowered serum triglycerides by approximately 14-25% in hyperlipidemic adults.

Recommended Dosage: (Adults) Take 1 teaspoon daily with a meal or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. Shake well before each use. Do not drink directly from the bottle.
NEO-3® process utilizes lipase enzymes to enrich EPA and DHA concentrations, while virtually eliminating contaminants, and helps to deliver a clean taste.
Caution: Consult your healthcare practitioner prior to use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking blood thinner medication. Keep out of the reach of children. Use only if safety seal is intact. Refrigerate after opening. Plant sterols can create cloudy appearances when mixed with oil. The quality and efficacy of the product are not compromised.
