Our bodies must have EFAs to manufacture and repair cell membranes. This enables our cells to absorb nutrients and eliminate harmful waste products to function properly. Remember, our entire body is made up of cells. Cellular health is mandatory for optimum health. EFAs produce prostaglandins which help your body regulate blood pressure, heart rate, blood clotting ability, fertility, conception, and other functions. They also help to assist your immune system by regulating inflammation and helping your body fight infection. Please note: All EFA, Fish Oil Supplements are the same. Many Health Food Store and Grocery Store brands are completely useless in the ingredients they offer. Also, many are contaminated with toxic levels of pollutants and toxic levels of mercury. Our complex is free of these toxins!
