Essential fatty acids or EFA's consist of Omega-3 and Omega-6 polyunsaturated fats. Polyunsaturated fats are vital to the health of your heart. Omega-3 is not produced by your body on its own. Omega-3 fats are produced in green plants and algae from the ocean. The algae and plants which produce omega-3 are the main food source consumed by shellfish and cold-water fish. This results in high concentrations of Omega-3 in their fat. Omega-6 fats can mostly be found in land-based seeds and grains. Omega-6 are also found in the fat of the animals that eat these grains and seeds, such as cows, pigs and chickens. Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids or EFA's are necessary for human cell membranes to function. Keeping the proper balance between these two EFA's is important, as they compete with each other for metabolic conversion. Because the average American diet relies on food products derived from soy, corn and the animals that feed on them. With this, the ratios of Omega-6 to Omega-3 fats in Americans tend to range between 10:1 and 30:1, with an average of around 15:1. So unless you are following a very low fat diet, the ideal ratio of 1:1 between Omega-3 and Omega-6 is hard to achieve. Each 2 capsule dose gives you 2100 mg of the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA. Ocean Blue Professional Omega-3 2100 is the most potent omega-3 supplement available on the market today. Made with a natural citrus oil and scent, so you won't have to deal with the unpleasant burps and fishy aftertaste. Ocean Blue Professional Omega-3 2100 does not contain any gluten, sugar, lactose or dyes. Not only is it suggested for triglyceride management, but the AHA has suggested that individuals who have a history of coronary heart disease should consume a minimum of 1,000 mg of EPA and DHA every day. CHD is the most common heart disease in the United States and is the number one cause of death in both men and women.
