There are two distinct types of fatty acids: essential and non-essential. Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are fatty acids that the body can't produce, so therefore crucial to complete a balanced diet. Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) are necessary in the maintenance and creation of cell membranes within the body.

EFAs are utilised by many of the body's systems to maintain proper tissue function. EFAs are also required for energy production, effective functioning of the nervous system, brain development and function, skin health and elasticity, digestive efficiency, normal cardiovascular function, hormone production, and effective immune response.

Due to the popular misconception that fat is "bad" for the body many people have adopted a low or no fat diet. Low or no fat, coupled with the widespread consumption of processed and genetically modified foods, have created EFA deficiencies. Leading researchers are finding significant links between EFA deficiencies and disease. Supplementation with EFAs is therefore an integral part of a complete nutritional program.

To help achieve your peak performance it is crucial that you supplement with Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs).
