Common Uses: Due to their anti-inflammatory and lubricating effects EFA's are commonly used in joint disorders such as arthritis and rheumatism, as well as skin problems - such as dry skin, eczema and psoriasis. As pre-cursors to prostaglandins, EFA's are also useful in PMT, menstrual cycle irregularities, endometriosis, menopause, stress and pain management. They have also been used to help with "heart health" problems, such as lowering blood cholesterol levels and in cardiovascular disease. Certain nervous system and visual difficulties may also benefit from EFA supplementation. As well as this EFA's may assist in helping with asthma, diabetes, allergies, inflammatory diseases, constipation and fluid retention.
Suggested Dosage: Adults: Take 1 to 3 capsules a day, with meals or as directed by your health care professional. Children (6-12 years) - as directed by your health care professional.
Health Information: Efamol Efamarine combines evening primrose oil and fish oils rich in Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) which can help boost the body's own stress depleted reserves and help offset some of the more serious problems associated with long term stress. Over 30 years ago, Argentina researchers showed that over activity of the adrenal hormones, in response to stress, interfered with the body's processing of essential fatty acids (EFA), leading to a depletion of the body's reserves. Recent research has highlighted the role of one particular essential fatty acid, Gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA), in controlling stress and our body's response to it. Dietary intake of GLA, is often inadequate as it is not found in common vegetable oils such as sunflower or olive oil. EFA are used in the body for a wide range of important functions. A deficiency of EFA can result in arthritis, dry flaking skin and certain nervous system and visual difficulties. As well as this it is used for its cholesterol lowering effect. There are indications that conditions such as arthritis, asthma, diabetes, PMS, allergies, inflammatory diseases, skin diseases, constipation and fluid retention have all been assisted by including oil high in EFA's in the diet. EFA's are required by every cell in our body - as part of the structure of each cell and to regulate how it functions. This is why such a wide range of symptoms may be seen with an EFA deficiency. EFA's, like vitamins, must be obtained from our food or supplements because our body cannot manufacture them. Efamol dietary supplements ensure an adequate supply of EFA's regardless of your diet.
