Omega IQ 500mg Fish Oil and 50mg Borage Oil 60 Capsules

Twenty five years ago headlines began to appear in the newspapers claiming that mums who ate oily fish whilst pregnant gave birth to high performers in the classroom. Over the last couple of years a great deal of interest has been focussed on essential fatty acids in relation to childhood intelligence with several well publicised trials at the centre of this interest. The proliferation of products for helping childhood intelligence certainly indicates how much demand there has been for these nutrients. The majority of these products have focussed on combining Omega 3 and Omega 6 essential fatty acids due to the fact that both play important roles in the learning process. Essential fatty acids also possess a wide array of other functions from promoting good skin health to joint support and circulation.The Benefits of Omega IQConcentration children using combinations of Omega 3 and 6 have shown improved levels of concentration.HandwritingPresentation improvements in both handwriting and presentation have been seen by students, parents and teachers.Reading and Spelling the reading and spelling age of the majority of children using these combinations has been shown to improve. In some studies improvement in reading age has been by as much as 2 years and spelling age by as much as 1½ years.Dry Skin students suffering from dry skin conditions using Omega 3 and 6 combinations have noticed improvements in their skin.PropertiesOmega 3 the brain works by sending electrical impulses from one cell to the next. Learning becomes knowledge as the electrical movements gradually establish themselves. Repetition makes them permanent. Brain cells are surrounded by fats, which are particularly high in Omega 3. One of the Omega 3s, DHA, is present to increase the cell’s response to incoming electrical messages. Another Omega 3, EPA, seems to be important in opening and closing ‘gateways’ in the cell wall that allow for the departure and arrival of those messages, as well as contributing to good mood.Omega 6 arachidonic acid that is produced from GLA present in Starflower and Evening Primrose Oil allows the memory to develop. Both Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids control inflammatory processes in the body and the combination shows benefits for skin health leading to improvements in dry skin.Contra indications PrecautionsNot recommended for people with temporal lobe epilepsy.
