Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are crucial to the maintenance and support of our bodies, but since our bodies don't produce them, the only source of essential fatty acids is through the foods we eat, usually fish and oils. It can be difficult to get enough of our fatty acids, especially with today's healthy low-fat diet.

RiteStart’s™ Essential Fatty Acids are formulated with fish oil, borage seed oil, flaxseed oil, and CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid. Borage seed oil and flaxseed are excellent sources of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

Conjugated linoleic acid, recently shown to be an important nutrient in promoting muscle tone and reducing body fat, is naturally found in some meats and dairy products, like cheese. However, due to technological advances in the way animals are raised for food, the amount of CLA available in these foods is significantly reduced. In fact, the level of CLA in our diet is estimated to be up to 80% less than it was just 20 years ago.

The CLA used in the Essential Fatty Acids is from the natural source of sunflower oil, and together with borage seed oil and flaxseed oil, ensures optimum nutritional support of essential fatty acids.
