Omega 6 vs. Omega 3 PUFA’s
If you eat, you are on a diet. Your diet consists of the foods, beverages, and supplements that you consume. There are hundreds of different diets. Some emphasize high protein, some high fat, and others, high carbohydrates. There are diets that restrict calories, and diets that restrict certain foods. Some diets require herbs and supplements. Others require proprietary meals. but all of the diets usually fall into one of two categories: inflammatory or anti-inflammatory.
Your body is designed to have an inflammatory response when there is tissue injury. When the response is within normal limits, it is a good and necessary response to promote the healing of damaged tissue. The opposite side of the equation is equally important. A system is in place to keep your inflammatory response in check and to suppress inflammation. This prevents excessive scar tissue in the body and prevents chronic inflammatory conditions and diseases. The problem is when these two systems are out of balance and one system dominates the equation.
The average American diet consists largely of processed foods, especially those from grains. Grains are high in omega 6 fatty acids. Omega 6 fatty acids are involved in your body’s inflammatory response. So a diet high in processed foods is high in omega 6 poly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA’s). Such a diet contributes to inflammatory problems. Omega 3 PUFA’s, on the other hand, are more involved in your body’s anti-inflammatory functions. It would be rare to find someone with too much anti-inflammatory nutrients and not enough inflammatory foods in their diet; most diets are inflammatory diets. To balance the equation, supplementation with Omega 3’s is usually appropriate.* NanOmega3 from BioPharma Scientific provides a vegan supplemental source of Omega 3 PUFA’s.
NanOmega 3
There are 3 main omega 3 PUFA’s: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosonopentaenoic acic (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). of the 3, ALA is the most plentiful vegan source. From ALA, humans make EPA. But humans struggle to make DHA making sufficient dietary intake of DHA beneficial in omega 3 deficient diets. Traditionally fish has been consumed for its DHA content. Supplementation with fish oils provides additional sources. But with mercury toxicity in larger fish, ingesting sufficient DHA from fish sources is not always practical.
Nanomega from Biopharma scientific provides a plentiful vegan supply of ALA that your body can use and convert to other essential PUFA’s. It also provides DHA from marine algae. Using marine algae for its DHA content bypasses the fish and and goes right to the source that the fish get it from. This avoids the danger of mercury toxicity from eating too much fish.
NanOmega3 is made with whole flax and not just the flax oil. This means that you also get the powerful phytonutrients, antioxidants, soluble and insoluble fibers, vitamins, and minerals found in flax seed. This may be beneficial for cardiovascular, immune, and general health. It also contains synergistic vitamins which among other benefits is the conversion of ALA to EPA.
NanOmega 3 is easy and delicious to take. Simply mix a scoop of NanOmega in a glass of water for a tasty orange pineapple delight.
* Omega 3’s may have come drug interfering effects. If you are taking medication directed by a physician, check to see if omega 3 supplements are cotraindicated.
