Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil Blend Provides a premium natural source of cold-pressed plant-based, unprocessed, undamaged Omega 3, 6 & 9 in the ideal ratio that supports optimum health. Udo's Choice Ultimate Oil blend helps to maintain healthy cholesterol level Every ingredient in Udo's Ultimate Oil blend has been carefully selected to make it easier to consume these essential 'good fats' in a balanced way. By "good fats" we mean essential fatty acids (EFAs). Only two fatty acids are known to be essential for humans: ALA- alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) and LA - linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). Udo's Ultimate Oil can be incorporated into your daily diet with minimum effort, simply add or drizzle over foods or drink. Just remember not to heat the oil as that damages the delicate essential fatty acids. The oil is refrigerated in a dark glass bottle to prevent damage & for optimal freshness and the oil the capsules are unrefrigerated for convenience. Essential fatty acids are needed for normal growth and development of children. This effect is obtained with a daily intake of 2 g of Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and a daily intake of 10 g of linoleic acid (LA). Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA) contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels at a daily intake of 2 g ALA. Linoleic acid (LA) contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels at a daily intake of 10 g LA.
