Back to the Essentials

Essential fatty acids (EFA's) are required for optimal health, yet our bodies cannot make them. The EFA's called Omega 3 and omega 6 are necessary for the normal functioning of every cell, tissue, gland and organ and must come from food or supplements. Omega 3 is the more important of these two to add to the diet because omega 6 is found in abundance in many popular foods such as nuts, seeds and fried foods as well as most oils. Flax oil is one of the richest sources of omega 3, is better tasting than fish oil, less expensive and does not contain toxins.
