Cytoplan_Omega Balance_60_Capsules # 1180

Omega-3 and omega-6 are essential to maintain the normal function of the body – they are found in every cell in the body where they have both structural and functional roles. The balance between them is important and Omega Balance is perfectly formulated to provide an appropriate ratio of the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids EPA, DHA and GLA.
The omega-6 fatty acid GLA is derived from cold pressed evening primrose oil which is high in fatty acids including gamma linoleic acid (GLA)
500mg of evening primrose oil per capsule yields excellent levels of gamma linoleic acid (GLA) at a minimum of 10%
GLA is metabolised in the body to prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that control many body processes. Although the body can produce GLA directly from linoleic acid, sometimes the conversion is not very efficient
The omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA are derived from a completely vegan source of plant microalgae (Schizochytrium sp microalgae) which is grown in a controlled environment, eliminating the risk of oceanic contamination
DHA contributes to:

The maintenance of normal brain function (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA)
The maintenance of normal vision (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA)
EPA and DHA contribute to:

The normal function of the heart (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of EPA and DHA)
Normal blood pressure (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of EPA and DHA)
Normal (fasting) blood concentrations of triglycerides (the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g of EPA or 2g of DHA).
