New Essential Balance® maintains the original balance of polyunsaturated fats
in the “one to one” ratio of omega-3 to omega-6, with the added benefit of
lignans. To create a better formula for everyday use, we replaced the omega-6
sunflower oil with hi-oleic sunflower oil, and eliminated both sesame oil, which
may be an allergen, and borage oil. For those who require additional GLA
supplementation, we recommend our Borage Oil, or OmegaPlus Flax and Borage
capsules. Essential Balance® EFA blend oil is great for daily use because our
bodies depend on EFAs for normal functioning cells. EFAs act as building blocks
in cell membranes and produce hormone-like substances necessary for energy
metabolism and cardiovascular and immune health.
Recent Study:
A recent two month study by Dr. Zoere’ Wilcoxen,CCN and Gynni L. Thies, CCN of
Well-Being Associates in Austin, Texas in August 2002 has shown that Essential
Balance Jr ™, when added to a specific dietary protocol, has proven beneficial
in helping with some of the common symptoms associated with Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome and/or Effect, ADD/ADHD and/or Reactive Attachment Disorder.
Researchers noted that there were improvements in areas they had not expected
such as anger, aggression, and mood swings. Comments from some of the parents of
the children involved in the study: “My son is now a joy to be around
