What are Essential Fatty Acids?

As the name suggests, Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are fats that are essential to good health. Found in our cells and cell membranes, they play an important roll in regulating many bodily functions, including cardiovascular function, joint flexibility, fat metabolism, nervous system and brain functions and cell division. Higher consumption of Omega 3 oils in particular have been linked to increased cardiovascular health, improved cholesterol levels, increased joint flexibility, enhanced memory functions and higher energy levels. The body is generally thought to need a 4:1 ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 oils (Schlomo & Carasso, 1993). The problem is that many Americans consume amounts of Omega 6 from processed foods and poor quality oils many times greater than recommended (often as high as 20:1). By consuming a diet higher in Omega 3 oils, a more optimum ratio can be achieved.

What is different about OilSMART?

The OilSMART formula includes the natural, digestive enzyme Lipase, along with three beneficial oils: Organic Flax, Borage and Fish oils. Lipase is the primary enzyme the body uses to digest oils.

From a study conducted at Colorado State University, these photographs show how Lipase works.

Bile salts in your digestive system break down the oil droplets into smaller and smaller droplets (photo 1).
Lipase, the primary enzyme for digesting oils, digests the surface of the oil droplets (note the roughened surfaces in photo 2).
This digestion causes the surface tension of the droplet to change, allowing the undigested inner core to pop out (as in photo 3). As the process continues, the droplets get smaller and smaller until they are completely digested.
