Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) are Omega-3 long chain fatty acids found in the oil of cold water fish. Research shows that low EPA and DHA levels can correlate with the development of mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression. Low omega-3 levels can also affect your physical well being and increase the risk of heart disease and heart attacks. Our bodies naturally produce only small amounts of DHA, therefore it is recommended to consume omega-3 through our diet and supplements. DHA and EPA helps to maintain healthy brain and heart functions, vision and concentration.
Both omega-3 and omega-6 are important for a normal functioning body. Omega-6 is the predominant fatty acid in our cell membrane. Omega-3, in addition to being part of the cell membrane, is crucial for repairing cells. For the omega-3 to be able to do its job, the ratio between omega-6 and 3 needs to be 5:1 or lower. In western diets we generally consume 20 times the amount of omega-6 that is recommended, which means many people go through life with an omega-3 deficiency.
Omega-3 is important for overall health, and it is essential to consume it throughout your entire life. It can help to improve all areas of your body, from cognitive function, to your heart, skin and immune system. When the omega ratio is off balance you can have an increased risk of inflammation in your body which can lead to chronic illnesses.
In 2015 Eqology created a tool to help people get their fatty acid levels under control. The EQ Omega-3 Test is a self-administered device which tells you your omega-3 and omega-6 ratio. We recommend taking the test to see if your ratio is within 5:1. It is rare to see someone that has the perfect ratio of 1:1, which means that omega-3 supplements can truly benefit everyone. After 4 months of consuming our Pure Arctic Oil we recommend that you take another test to see whether your ratio has been improved. This way you can make sure that you get the correct daily dosage of omega-3.
