Dr. Stephanie Saito speaks on essential fatty acids

Here's what we recommend also re: PUFA support and EFA/DHA support:

Standard Process Linum B6
"Linum" is simply Flaxseed oil and is cold-pressed and organically grown flax which is completely different from linseed oil even though it is taken from the same source. SP's Linum B6 is cold processed flax with B6 added to the mix to assist iin the use of vitamin F or PUFAs. Flaxseed contains a high content of Lignins which can help lower the number of epidermal growth factor receptors to dissuade certain cancer growths. Studies show Linum B6 is best taken on an empty stomach and has been known to help conditions of: dry skin, constipation, hair, skin, nail and stroke support. Essential PUFAs are helpful in transporting calcium from the blood to tissues.

Another new company that is out that is producing some excellent quality product is BIOTICS. I am currently using there Flaxseed Oil and Greg is using their
BioMega-3 - This is used to support healthy inflammatory response and to relieve minor pain due to overexertion. It has been known to produce high quality, all natural (not modified by distillation processes) fish oil supplying omega-3 fatty acids. To my knowledge, Biotics has been internationally tested for and does NOT contain environmental pollutants, including dioxins, PCBs, pesticides and heavy metals.
