Universal Animal Omega 30 Paks
EFAs are those necessary fats that we as humans are unable to
synthesize in our bodies and must be obtained from either diet or
supplementation. Just like essential Amino Acids, and other essential
micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, we need optimum amounts
in order for the body to function properly, let alone to make gains in
lean mass. Getting the proper EFAs isn't always easy, especially when
they are hard to obtain with a typical diet. A typical diet consists of
an overabundance of saturated fats, trans fats, and those fats from
plant sources (think of common cooking oils) usually overloaded with
omega 6 compounds, as they are the easiest and most economical to get
your hands on. Now don't get me wrong. Omega 6s are important, as they
are EFAs too. But it's not just the types of fats. It's also the
ratios. More on that later.
EFAs have been clinically proven to exert positive effects in many
areas, including-balancing insulin levels, thermogenesis, anabolism,
hormone synthesis, fertility, prostaglandin function, immune function,
repair of cellular membranes, enabling cells to obtain optimum
nutrition and more. For the bodybuilder, EFAs are vital for optimal
metabolism, hormone production, cardiovascular health, peak
performance, reducing exercise soreness and maximizing fat burning.
It's a wonder why they are so overlooked and underutilized by the
population.
For supplementation purposes there are only 2 types of fats that are
needed; Omega 3's (n-3) and Omega 6's (n-6). Omega 9 is necessary, yet
not essential because it can be made by the body in modest amounts. The
reason why the body can't make an n-3 or n-6 fatty acid is that human
metabolism can't add a double bond to a fatty acid that is more than 9
carbons away from the delta end (acid end). This is also the reason why
the body can't convert an n-3 fatty acid to an n-6 fatty acid. Yeah, it
sounds like science mumbo jumbo, but is important to see from a
chemistry perspective why it's so hard to obtain the right EFAs from
the diet.
This is where a supplement like Animal Omega comes into play. Sure,
it ain't fancy. No cool bells and whistles here, just the basics. It's
not going to "pack on 10 lb in a week" but long-term, it'll get ya to
where ya want to be. EFAs are needed, not just any old EFAs, but the
right kinds and the right amounts. That's what Animal Omega is all
about. Omega is the most complete EFA product on the market. It
contains the right fats that bodybuilders require. It's a full
spectrum, molecularly distilled EFA supplement, each pack containing a
precise and pre-dosed ratio of n-3 to n-6. It is packed with sources of
Omega 3 oils extracted from various fish sources such as salmon, cod
liver, herring, and plant-sourced omega 3s from flaxseed oil. Such a
well-rounded mixture, ensures that you obtain all of the various n-3
extracts that are so important for general health. You get the balance
of alpha linoleic acid from flax and the key fish oil extracts, EPA and
DHA.
Animal Omega is then rounded out with key Omega 6 oils, including;
borage, evening primrose, sesamin, and CLA. Linoleic acid is the other
essential fatty acid found in nature. As said before, lack of n-6 in
ones diet is hard to come by. However, there is a specific form of n-6,
gamma linoleic acid or GLA, that is crucial for health. This is
contained in ample doses in Omega. The body uses n-6 essential fatty
acids to make various prostaglandins and leukotrienes. These substances
influence inflammation and pain; some of them increase symptoms, while
others decrease them.
Another n-6 found in Animal Omega is CLA. CLA is touted for its
ability to reduce body fat, being anti-catabolic, acting as an
antioxidant and enhancing the immune system. Although exactly how CLA
works is completely understood, it's been show by the research
community that CLA positively influences the metabolism and assists
with fat regulation and protein metabolism. CLA, though is not
specifically an EFA, (it's a naturally occurring fatty acid found in
meal and dairy) is an important addition to the Animal Omega formula as
its health promoting properties were too good to pass up.
Sesamin is another hot ingredient added to the Omega formula. It's a
naturally occurring lignan found in sesame oil. Research has shown
sesamin can help maximize fat loss, support liver and kidney health and
maintain healthy lipid profiles when combined along with other EFAs as
found in Animal Omega. Sesamin is touted as a promising ingredient in
the process of lean mass recomposition.
All of these potent fatty nutrients are supported by a comprehensive
nutrient transport complex which allows for maximum absorption and
utilization and transport of Omega's essential fatty acids.
L-carnitine, lipase and lecithin make up the complex so you rest
assured that the components that make up the n-3 and n-6 complexes are
actually getting into your system efficiently and effectively. Another
important aspect of this complex is the addition of important
antioxidants, Vitamins A, D and E, which ensure EFA stability and
prevents 'em from breaking down in the can. A must have for any type of
EFA supplement. This translates to ultra potent softgels right from the
get-go.
All in all, Animal Omega provides essential nutrition for the
bodybuilder. It's loaded with all of the right fats, in a proper ratio
of n-3 to n-6 to help support high quality metabolic functioning and
body recomposition. It also supports cardio-vascular protection, a
healthy immune system and overall health and well being. It won't
change your physique overnight, but it will be an important addition to
your long term physique goals.
