Melrose Omega Balance Flaxseed Oil 250ml

Omega Balance - the smartest fat of all

With all the confusion about Fats, Melrose Omega Balance takes the guess work out of eating the right balance of dietary fats. Omega Balance is the only equally balanced ratio of oil supplying a 1:1 ratio of Omega 3 & Omega 6 essential fatty acids. Omega Balance is a convenient blend that's suitable for everyone.

Omega Balance also contains expellor pressed Wheat Germ Oil. Wheat Germ Oil is a source of natural Vitamin E, an anti-oxidant. We believe Vitamin E should be part of the daily consumption of unsaturated oils.

Why your dietary fat is unbalanced
1. Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids cannot be manufactured in our bodies and must come from food.
2. Foods rich in Omega 3 are prone to rapid oxidation which reduces the life of processed foods.
3. For longer shelf life, food manufacturers eliminated Omega 3 and structurally changed Omega 6 molecules.
4. Scientists and medical researches are now concerned over the effects of an imbalance of these essential fatty acids.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why a balance is so important

The omega 3 fats are essential for normal growth and development
Lack of smart fats Omega 3 & Omega 6 in the right proportion, results in less than optimum health. Omega 3 & Omega 6 fatty acids are essential for normal growth and development. In a healthy person Omega 3 is converted by the body's enzymes into fatty acids we know as EPA and DHA. Our brains contain 60% fat and the predominant fat in the brain is DHA. DHA is necessary for brain development and visual activity.

Fat is your body's major fuel
Omega 3 disperses platelet aggregates in the blood thereby reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. The Lyons study provides ample evidence of this(1). Omega 3 fatty acids also produce the anti-inflammatory prostaglandin PG3 which lowers the risk of rheumatoid arthritis. Melrose OMEAGA BALANCE contains an equal amount of Omega 6, the other essential fatty acid. Fat supplies essential fatty acids, vitamins & energy

In a healthy person Omega 6 is converted to GLA, a benficial fatty acid also found in Evening Primrose and Blackcurrant seed oils. From GLA the body's enzymes produce the prostglandins PG1 and PG2. Prostanglandins are hormone compounds that regulate many bodily functions.
