Essential Fats are vital in the growth of every cell in the body. Unless you eat a diet is rich in fish, nuts, seeds and wild fed meats then it is likely you are probably deficient in essential fatty acids and suffering side effects without realising it.

Essential fatty acids are broken down in the body to form something called Prostaglandins. Series 1 Prostaglandins (formed from Omega-6) and Series 3 Prostaglandins (formed from Omega-3), these behave as active hormone like substances.

Series 1 Prostaglandins help thin the blood preventing clots, relax blood vessels, decrease blood pressure, help manage water balance, decrease inflammation and pain, improve nerve and immune function and help insulin control blood sugar levels. Series 3 Prostaglandins are essential for proper brain function, affecting learning, vision, co-ordination and mood and also reduce the stickiness of blood, and control cholesterol and fat levels.

Many fish oils are produced using molecular distillation, repeatedly heating the oils to 200?c and using a solvent called Hexane, a flammable gasoline like substance, to draw out the Omega-3. This is a cheaper and more economical method of extracting Omega-3 which requires the Hexane to be burnt off, destroying some of the essential fatty acids and contributing to the amount of Ozone in the atmosphere.

Minami uses an exclusive CO2 distillation process to concentrate Omega-3 fatty acids at temperatures 35-50?c (~400% less heat) with no hexane. This method extracts two essential fatty acids, EPA[ and DHA , without any alteration in the quality and maintaining their chemical integrity without pollutants, ensuring your essential fatty acids reach you in their purest form.
