Lemmon's Oil (aka The Perfect EFA Oil Blend), is the culmination of years of research on the benefits of essential fats. This knowledge led to the development of pharmaceutical grade oil that is rich in Omega-3, DHA and EPA fatty acids.
The most well known fatty acids are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA), which are found in fish. That would include tuna, salmon, and mackerel (fresh, not canned). Aside from seaweed, plants rarely contain EPA or DHA.
The third common fatty acid is omega-3, or alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), and it is found in dark green leaves, some nuts, and certain seed oils. Essential fat supplementation is debated daily, but the question is, what do you supplement with?
Omega-3 fats have different effects on the body than do EPA and DHA and the body processes them differently as well. While some say the body has enzymes that can convert Omega-3's to EPA, the process depletes you of other essential nutrients.
Something else people aren't taking into consideration is how fresh fish needs to be in order to benefit you. Smell your fish oil capsules. Do they possess an odor reminiscent of something spoiled? Guess what, you wasted your money.
EFA's, as essential fatty acids are sometimes called, assist in the most basic of bodily operations. They help the transfer of bioelectric currents from cell to cell, nerve transmission, brain function, develop hormones, and increase fat loss.
There's something else to consider. The metabolism of all fats occurs in the liver where they are converted into either energy or waste depending on the fat you ingest. Without sufficient EFA's the body retains more waste than it should.
If you feel tired throughout the day, have blotchy and otherwise bad skin, are constipated or experience migraine headaches, it all stems from this particular malfunction. I ask you, with this in mind, do you feel the need for an oil change?
As for physical performance, EFA's work better than carbs. How so? They convert lactic acid into harmless water and carbon dioxide instead of bringing on that “burn” only poorly processed carbs produce. This means even better progress, FYI.
If you want the benefits of fish oil, eat fresh fish. For everything else, there is Lemmon's Oil. You can eat all the nuts and seeds you like but digestion doesn't reach the oil inside that benefits you and conceals the essential fats.
