What are Essential Fats?

Scientists have given essential fats (a.ka. essential fatty acids or EFAs) their name because the body must have them to survive, but cannot synthesize them from any other substance we eat, so a direct food source is required. Hence, the name essential. There are many kinds of fats, but only two kinds of essential fats: omega 3 (n-3 or w3) and omega 6 (n-6 or w6), both of which are unsaturated fats.

Why do we need Essential Fats?

Just as a member of a large family has many roles, essential fats serve many functions in the complex workings of the human body. Taken in the right amounts and ratios, and taken from the right sources, essential fats help support and maintain health as follows:

Increase energy, performance and stamina.

Help support the immune system.

Maintain and support cardiovascular health.

Maintain and support brain function: mood, intelligence , behaviour and vision.

Help support in weight management.

Help the body maintain organs and glands. Liver and kidneys, adrenal and thyroid glands, and the production of male and female hormones need EFAs

Help support the body in recovery and healing. EFAs are necessary for cell growth and division. They form all cell membranes and regulate vital cell activity

Support healthy child development. For nervous system development, a growing fetus needs optimum EFAs from the mother's body.

Support and maintain digestion.

Support and maintain healthy bones. EFAs aid in the transport of minerals that keep bones and teeth strong

Maintain and support hormonal processes.

Help maintain and sustain beautiful skin, hair and nails.

Question:

Q.	I am confused - does Udo's Oil have omega 3,6 & 9 or only 3 & 6? I ask this because on the contents screen it says 3 & 6 only. Please clarify because I feel I'm being misled somewhere.
A.	It does contain all 3, however, the reason omega 9 is not included in the list is because it is not technically an essential fat as your body synthesises omega 9 from omega 3 & 6.

Q.	I am interested in this product, but, before ordering, could you confirm whether this supplement is safe for use when pregnant?
A.	Yes, it would be safe to take during pregnancy. In fact essential fats, omega 3 and 6 are extremely beneficial to the unborn child and help to ensure correct neural development. They are especially good from a vegetarian source such as flax seed as contained in Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend as fish oil supplements contain vitamin A. Excessive intake of vitamin A during pregnancy may be harmful to the unborn child.

Q.	Which is better, the capsules or the liquid?
A.	Capsules are always a compromise over the pure unrefined liquid as it means there is one more stage of processing plus the added expense of the capsuling process means they are also usually less economical. However, some find taking the oil to be inconvenient and so the capsules do make sense if you are unable to take the oil. They are also great if you are travelling and are unable to store the liquid in a refrigerator.

Q.	Are there any omega 3 products available for vegetarians in capsules?
A.	Unfortunately there are no omega oil products in capsules that are suitable for vegetarians or vegans. The nature of the oils is such that only a gelatine based capsule is suitable to preserve the delicate nutrient value. For omega 3 oils a good vegetarian source is our flax seed based oils such as Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil blend. However, as above you will have to take the liquid oils rather than the capsule based products. Click here for more details of our Flax Seed oil products

Q.	What does this Flax seed oil help to cure?
A.	Flax seed is nature's richest source of omega 3, typically 57%. Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid and is essential for a whole range of bodily processes including metabolic, hormonal and neural. It improves brain function, aids concentration and reduces instances of conditions such as ADHD in children. Omega 3 also plays an important role in the health of hair skin and nails. The importance of omega 3 in the diet should not be underestimated and a typical western diet has a poor ratio of omega 3 meaning supplementation with a product such as this is often recommended.

Q.	Are Udo's oil capsules suitable for children? If so what is the recommended dosage? I have been recommended the oil for my son.
A.	Yes, they are perfectly suitable for children and a good supply of essential fats, especially omega 3, will help with brain function and aid concentration. You should adjust the dosage according to weight. The adult dosage is 2-3 capsules up to 3 times per day. We would suggest no more than 1 capsule taken up to 3 times per day for a child.
