Essential fatty acids cannot be manufactured by the body, but are necessary for healthy body function. Normal development and function of the nerves and brain are dependent upon a sufficiency of essential fatty acids. Our Omega 3-6-9 is guaranteed 100% natural.
Many formulas available for sale include those made from fish oils like salmon, sardines, anchovies and mackerel. However because many people have concerns about fish taste and smell and also because of repeated health concerns over contaminated fish supplies***, Perfect Shape have chosen to only offer oils pressed from seeds of flax, evening primrose, canola., blackcurrant and pumpkin. The fatty acids from these oils are equally as potent as those found in fish oils without none of the concerns of health and safety or taste.
*** The Food Standards Agency suggests eating no more than one portion per week of the above mentioned fish as it may contain harmful dioxins - so it makes sense to supplement with oils which are NOT derived from fish - for your own health's sake.

Omega 3 EFAs have been the subject of a multitude of scientific studies showing that they not only promote cardiovascular health, but also mood and cognition, as well as skin conditions. Omega 6 EFAs are involved in a complex interaction that leads to the production of prostoglandins in the body. The body uses prostoglandins to control inflammation, dilate blood vessels and regulate immune function. Omega 9 is a monounsaturated fat not considered essential but it does play beneficial roles in human health.
Omega oils are essential Anti-Inflammatories:
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Omega oils are essential for Behavioural, Cognitive and and Mood Health: About 30% of the dry weight of the brain and eyes are comprised of EFAs. A supply is crucial for retinal and brain cell function. EFAs can help revitalise nerves.
Mood & Cognitive Health problems
Omega oils are essential for Hormonal Health:
Omega oils are essential for Circulation & Lipid Reduction: EFAs are important in oxygen transfer, red blood cell production, and control of nutrient passage through cell membranes.
