- HANK & BRIAN’S ESSENTIAL FATS PLUS E contains eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (important essential omega-3 fatty acids), gamma linolenic acid (GLA) (an important essential omega-6 fatty acid), and mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols (Vitamin E).
- The EPA and DHA are in the form of triglycerides derived from marine lipids (using patented flash molecular distillation) and the GLA is from cold-pressed borage seed oil. The mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols derive from rice bran oil, and are included in the softgel capsules for antioxidant protection of the polyunsaturated oils.
- Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are known to play important roles in the formation of prostaglandins. The prostaglandins are important cellular regulators in the body.
- Because these fatty acids have many double bonds that are prone to oxidation, Vitamin E is included in the forms of mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols.
- Every batch of fish oil is tested and guaranteed to contain insignificant levels of contaminants.
Product Description
Hank and Brian’s Essential Fats Plus E is an essential fats supplement that provides balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, but it includes so much more! Dr. Hank Liers and Dr. Brian Cabin have included mixed tocotrienols and tocopherol, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (important essential omega-3 fatty acids), gamma linolenic acid (GLA) (an important essential omega-6 fatty acid), as well as nutrients that synergistiy optimize utilization in the body.
Essential fats have proven highly beneficial for overall cardiovascular health, brain and cerebral function, cell membrane health, anti-inflammatory processes, and many other critical functions in the human body. But we’ve taken the design of a fatty acid supplement several big steps further.
Why Did We Include Vitamin E?
The Vitamin E in Essential Fats Plus E is included for antioxidant protection of the polyunsaturated oils both inside the softgel capsule and inside the body. Our Vitamin E includes the known tocotrienols and tocopherols derived from rice bran oil. Many Vitamin E supplements contain only d-alpha tocopherol, just a single component of the full-spectrum of Vitamin E that’s included in Essential Fats Plus E.
What Can Essential Fats Plus E do?
- Fish oils can be useful for 1) Cardiovascular health, 2) Blood pressure, 3) Inflammation, 4) Skin health, 5) Balancing blood sugar, 6) Mood elevation, and 7) Kidney health.
- Research indicates that in a balanced formula there are synergistic effects between Eicosapentanoic acid (EPA), Docosahexanoic acid (DHA), and Gamma Linolenic acid (GLA). For example, it is known that EPA inhibits the conversion of GLA into pro-inflammatory (and pain-causing) arachidonic acid.
- Vitamin E is included as mixed tocotrienols and tocopherols simply because the types of fatty acids in supplements such as Essential Fats Plus E are prone to oxidation. In addition, these two forms of Vitamin E have been shown to 1) Enhance blood flow, 2) Protect serum lipids from oxidation (including LDL and HDL), 3) Reduce carotid stenosis (narrowing) and, 5) Trap harmful nitrogenous radicals, and 6) Provide powerful oxidative defense for the skin.
- Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) may be useful in supporting healthy joints.
The body needs two specific essential fatty acids to thrive. Many people just omega-3 fatty acids under the assumption that the body gets sufficient omega-6 from diet. The truth about essential fatty acids is more complicated because our modern diet has become almost devoid of natural omega-3 fatty acids. Creating the optimum intake of omega 3-to-omega 6 unsaturated fatty acids has become, therefore, an issue of prime importance. Dr. Liers developed Essential Fats Plus E with the correct Omega-6 (GLA)-to-Omega-3 (EPA)ratio and with proper amounts.
What Are Some of the Functions and Benefits of Essential Fatty Acids?
- Regulate hormone synthesis
- Balance pressure in the eyes, joints, and blood vessels, and regulate smooth muscle and autonomic reflexes
- Regulate response to pain, inflammation, and swelling
- Mediate Immune Response
- Regulate bodily secretions and their viscosity
- Dilate or constrict blood vessels
- Are primary constituents of cellular membranes
- Moderate the rate at which cells divide
- Necessary for the transport of oxygen from the red blood cells to tissues
- Necessary for proper kidney function and fluid balance
- Prevent red blood cells from clumping together
- Regulate nerve transmission
