RED HOT SALE ITEMS This NOW® product provides a balanced blend of two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (and their derivatives), necessary for many bodily functions: Omega 3 oils from flaxseed and canola, one type of Omega 6 oil (GLA) from Primrose and Black Currant. Oleic Acid, an Omega 9 oil from canola and flax is a monounsaturated fat not considered essential but does play beneficial roles in human health. What is Omega 3-6-9 Omega-3 and what is it good for? Omega-3 is an essential fatty acid (EFA, also known as a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)) that is derived from both animal and plant sources, although Omega-3 from fish oil is the most common supplemental form. Fatty acids are the basis of fats and oils, and, despite popular belief, are necessary for overall health. These fatty acids are termed “essential” because your body cannot manufacture them by itself. EFA’s must come from food or supplemental sources. They are also essential because they are a component of every living cell in the body, and are necessary for rebuilding existing cells and the production of new cells. Plant sources such as Flax Oil contain the parent Omega-3 fatty acid called Alpha-linolenic acid that the human body normally converts to the longer chain EPA/DHA fatty acids for prostaglandin formation and other cellular needs. Fish Oil contains the desired Omega-3 fatty acids in their long chain EPA and DHA forms thereby offering us the health benefits of these PG3 prostaglandin precursors while saving our body the enzymatic steps necessary to process the Alpha-linolenic acid into the more biologically active forms. Is NOW® Omega 3-6-9 Omega 3 Fish Oil pharmaceutical grade? There is a lot of confusion caused by aggressive supplement distributors who claim to have a pharmaceutical grade Omega-3 Fish Oil today. The fact of the matter is that to date there is NO official USP (United States Pharmacopeia) monograph that defines the specifications necessary to qualify Omega 3 Fish oils as pharmaceutical grade. However, there is a voluntary CRN (Council for Responsible Nutrition) monograph that is being utilized to define the specifications necessary to qualify a pure Omega 3 EPA/DHA product. The CRN Voluntary Monograph has been submitted to USP for review and publication consideration. Most experts in the Natural Foods industry agree that the CRN monograph is the best document available and that it will most likely be used as the basis for an official USP Monograph in the near future.
