Borage
Seed Nature's most potent source of GLA at 24%.
Works in synergy with Flax Seed. Particularly useful to those
with people who lack the enzymatic ability to convert linolenic
acid to GLA including those with diabetes, asthma, cystic
fibrosis multiple sclerosis, and alcoholism. Also contains Omega
VI in good amounts.
Flax Seed World's richest source of Omega III at a huge 57% - two times the amount of Omega III in fish oil. It also contains alpha-linolenic, Linolenic acid, and Omega VI in appreciable amounts. Works in synergy with Borage Seed. It also contains lignans which are changed by bacteria in the intestine to compounds which are extremely protective against cancer, especially breast cancer. The lignans are also antibacterial, anti-fungal, and antiviral. Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) GLA is converted to Prostaglandin's which have hormonal regulatory actions including: control of arterial muscle tone, sodium excretion through the kidneys, blood platelet inflammatory response, and immune functions. Shown to help with: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, skin conditions, arthritis, allergies, weight loss, improved behavior of hyperactive children, and increased strength of hair and nails. L-Carnitine Carnitine is needed to transform fatty acids into energy for muscular activity. It is also concentrated in sperm and the brain. Many athletes have noted increased endurance and muscle building with Carnitine supplementation. Carnitine has been shown to be beneficial for heart problems such as angina, ischemia or arrhythmia, and poor endurance, muscle weakness or obesity. Deficiencies may increase symptoms of fatigue, angina, muscle weakness or confusion. It has proven helpful in improving lipid metabolism and reducing elevated total lipids, cholesterol and triglycerides in people with either cardiac problems and diabetes. Methionine An essential amino acid that is not synthesized by the body and must be obtained from food. It acts as a lipotropic agent to prevent excess fat buildup in the liver. Omega III Essential fatty acid that is present in both fish and plant sources. They assist in the regulation the body's fatty acid metabolism. Fat metabolism is as important, if not more critical than our body's protein and carbohydrate metabolism. Omega VI Linoleic acid that forms different Prostaglandins than Omega III. Used to form GLA. |
