EFA Recovery Plus
An essential fatty acid
supplement for athletes
of all kinds
EFA Recovery Plus was formulated to help balance
your diet with a 40:30:30 ratio of carbohydrate/protein/fat for optimal health and better
performance. "EFA" refers to the essential fatty acids required in our
diet because they cannot be synthesised by our bodies. "Recovery" refers
to the role EFAs play in restoring general health with a 40:30:30 diet, as well as
biochemical recovery following physical exercise and work.
The two major energy sources for the production of ATP during exercise are carbohydrates,
in the form of muscle glycogen, and fats in the form of fatty acids. Fat is the most
misunderstood of the three macronutrient sources. We are all aware of the
association between a high fat diet and health problems. This is why today's trend
is to buy "fat-free" food products. However, it is important to know that
dietary fat consists of three basic types of fatty acids: saturated, monounsaturated, and
polyunsaturated.
Unsaturated fat, is composed of cis-fatty acids typically found in vegetable oils,
cold-water fatty fish (e.g., salmon, tuna, and herring), avocados, nuts, and some
beans. These foods are known for their important role in an overall healthy
diet. It is just as important to regulate the kinds of fat we ingest as well as the
amount of fat. Unsaturated fats play a beneficial role in the body. Fats are
the most concentrated source of energy in the diet. Many sources of fat provide
important nutrients, carry fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K through the bloodstream,
maintain healthy skin and are crucial for foetal brain development.
The typical diet, quite often, does not include a sufficient amount of EFAs, especially
those referred to as omega-3 fatty acids. EFA Recovery Plus is formulated to
meet your need to consume 'healthy fats'.
Alpha-lipoic acid
o Alpha-lipoic acid is a
sulphur-containing essential
fatty acid.
o Alpha-lipoic acid is directly involved in the biosynthesis
of a vital coenzyme the helps generate ATP for muscle
energy.
Linoleic acid
o Linoleic acid is an omega-6
polyunsaturated cis-fatty acid
found in safflower oil.
o Linoleic acid is incorporated in
phospholipids -
phospholipids are key
o Linoleic acid is converted to special
prostaglandins -
prostaglandins promote special circulatory system
health.
o Linoleic acid is converted to DHA - important for healthy
vision and brain cells.
Alpha-linolenic acid
o Alpha-linolenic acid is an omega-3
polyunsaturated
cis-fatty acid found in flax seed oil.
o Alpha-linolenic acid is converted to EPA and DHA.
Gamma-linolenic acid
o Gamma-linolenic acid is an omega-6
polyunsaturated
cis-fatty acid found in evening primrose oil.
o Gamma-linolenic acid is used in the biosynthesis of
special prostaglandins that perform
various functions
in the body.
EPA and DHA
o Both EPA and DHA are omega-3
polyunsaturated fatty
acids.
o Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid
(DHA) are found in high concentrations in cold water
fish
(e.g., salmon, tuna, mackerel, and herring).
o EPA is used to support healthy lipid
levels and to assist
healthy cellular function.
o EPA is required for the production of
prostaglandins, which
encourage circulatory health.
o DHA is a major component of human brain
tissue and
retinal tissue.
o DHA serves in the transmission of nerve impulses in the
nervous system.
Benefits
o EFAs are vital in the role of ATP
production - the energy
source for muscle work.
o EFAs are vital to permeability of the
cell membrane
structure. Saturated fats can make cell membranes
impermeable.
o EFAs support cellular function and
overall health while
helping the flow of nutrients and waste material in and
out
of the cell.
o EFAs are heavily involved in
maintaining healthy nerve cell
membranes in the brain that are involved with short and
long-term memory, providing muscle cells with energy
during exercise and supporting muscle relaxation.
o EFAs support circulatory health.
o EFAs are involved in the control
mechanism to slow the
rate of carbohydrates into the bloodstream.
o EFAs support the suppleness of skin.
o EFAs help the body maintain healthy joints.
Usage
o Take 3-6 capsules a day, depending on
body weight and
workout intensity.
o Unfortunately, oxygen in air and light
begin to oxidise
unsaturated fats very easily. So the EFA
Recovery Plus
capsule is the safe, convenient, and effective way
to
consume your daily requirement of essential fatty
acids.
o EFA Recovery Plus should be
taken with vitamins E, C,
and B-Complex and the mineral zinc to ensure maximum
absorption and effectiveness.
o You may want to continue supplementing your diet with
omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) contained in Neways'
Omega 3 EPA in conjunction with EFA Recovery
Plus.
Other Information
The optimum ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 is between 3:1 and 4:1. In the typical
diet this ratio is around 25:1.
