WHY YOU NEED ESSENTIAL OILS FROM PERQUE TRIPLE
EFA GUARD
Some fat is good and in fact is essential for optimal health. PERQUE
Triple EFA Guard contains the best balance (4:1) of omega-3 to
omega-6 essential fatty acids (EFAs), along with the beneficial
omega-9 EFA and the most potent docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) /
conjugated linolenic acid (CLA) combination. Finally, a product
with the essential oils you need.
Like many, you may associate fat with obesity and health risk.
However, certain fats are required for healthy function; these are
known as EFAs. PERQUE Triple EFA Guard is a unique blend of oils:
organic flax seed oil as well as olive and fish oils plus DHA and CLA.
Finally, an essential oil product that meets PERQUE’s standards
and brings the complicated issues of fat supplementation into one
easy-to-use, source. EFAs are essential because they can only be
obtained from the diet. The body is unable to manufacture them
even though they are required for critical chemical reactions in
the body. The average American diet is too high in harmful fats,
and therefore, it is also deficient in EFAs. Foods lose EFAs through
processing, exposure to air (oxygen), oxidants, and toxins (from
lead and mercury to peroxides and sulfites); therefore, deficiencies
have become more the rule than the exception. Only PERQUE
Triple EFA Guard gives you all the essential fats in one formula,
and, as with all PERQUE products, its ingredients are of the highest
action and purity.*
Essential fatty acids may be divided into two primary groups:
omega 3 (including DHA) and omega 6 fatty acids. In addition,
omega 9 fatty acids and CLA are vital for complete health. EFAs
are the source of the body’s potent prostaglandins, which are
hormone-like substances that regulate many cardiovascular,
reproductive, immune, hormonal, and nerve functions.*
Considering its importance, it is not surprising that EFA deficiency
is linked to many serious disease states, including:
Cardiovascular disease. Arteriosclerosis is characterized by a
build-up of plaque in the arteries. Omega-3 fatty acids act as
blood thinners, helping to reduce the clotting and aggregation
associated with this disease. They play an important role in
preventing and treating arteriosclerosis. Studies show that
individuals with a diet high in Omega-3 fatty acids have
significantly lower rates of heart disease. PERQUE Mito Guard
100 Plus™ also improves cardiovascular function.*
Inflammatory/autoimmune diseases. EFAs can benefit patients
with inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, arthritis, dermatitis,
eczema, and psoriasis. Omega-6 fatty acids are essential for the
production of anti-inflammatory prostaglandins.*
Premenstrual syndrome (PMS). Deficiencies in EFAs have
been associated with PMS.The anti-inflammatory effects of EFAs
can relieve menstrual symptoms such as cramps, bloating, and
nausea.*
Concentration and ADD/ADHD. Deficits in EFAs cause nerve
electrical irritability that reduce attention span and decrease
ability to concentratePERQUE TRIPLE EFA GUARD: FINALLY A COMPLETE EFA
FORMULA
Clearly, fatty acid supplementation can provide substantial health
benefits. However, it is important to find the correct ratio of essential
fats. These fats are extremely difficult to obtain from diet alone. The
best option is to obtain all of the essentials from a single formula.*
Fortunately, PERQUE Triple EFA Guard contains:
• DHA, a member of the Omega-3 family, which converts to
anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. Studies indicate that DHA
is especially vital to growing or repairing brain and nerve cell
function.*
• CLA, which converts to GLA, one of the most important acids in
the omega 6 family. PERQUE Triple EFA Guard provides CLA at
higher local concentrations with more beneficial actions than
other supplements or diet alone can offer.*
• Flaxseed, olive, and deep sea fish oils, which contain
significant amounts of omega 3 fatty acids, including ALA, EPA,
and LA.*
DHA FOR BRAIN POWER
Although DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) may not be a household
name, it should be. Scientific studies repeatedly show that DHA is
an important and often lacking member of the omega 3 fatty acid
family.*
Researchers recently compiled and published a summary of findings
on DHA. The study noted that deficiencies of DHA are associated
with learning deficits, including ADD, and that including sufficient
DHA in the diet improves learning ability.*
The researchers also found that decreases in DHA in the brain are
associated with a variety of conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and senility, cystic fibrosis, depression, and aggressive hostility.*
