Omega-3s Than Salmon
Salba offers superior Omega 3 benefits to fish oils and salmon without the strong taste. Omega-3 fatty acids play a crucial role in brain function, growth and development. Salba is the richest vegetarian source of EFAs in nature.
25% MORE
Dietary Fiber Than Flax Seed
Rich fiber content is one of the main reasons Salba is considered nature's perfect whole food ™. Dietary fiber has been proven to lower high blood levels of cholesterol. Because of Salba's ability to absorb several times its weight in water, it may also help to curb hunger.

The Folate Content of Asparagus
Folate is needed to make DNA and RNA - which is critical during periods of rapid cell division and growth such as infancy and pregnancy. Folate also helps to prevent changes to DNA that may lead to cancer.
Salba represents the highest known whole-food source of dietary fiber and then-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA),_-linolenic acid (ALA), in nature. In addition, it is an exceptionally rich source of vegetable protein, calcium, magnesium, iron, and antioxidants(i.e., total antioxidant capacity is 70 per gram of Salba). As all these nutrients have been implicated in lowering CVD risks, and as they occur naturally in Salba, we hypothesized that simple addition of Salba to conventional treatment may reduce CVD risk factors when added to the diet of individuals with well-controlled type 2 diabetes.
Salba and EFAs - It's all about the ratio.Omega-3s are essential fatty acids that the human body needs to function properly. As the world has become more globalized, the Western diet has drastically changed. According to Mary Clarke, PhD, of the Department of Nutrition Education at Kansas State University, the ratio between Omega-6 and Omega-3 was about one-to-one a half century ago.
Today, it is an alarming 25-to-one - even worse in the breast milk of many pregnant women: 45-to-one. The main reason for this as, Dr. William Aronson of the School of Medicine at UCLA, says is, “Corn oil (containing an incredibly high amount of Omega-6 fatty acids) is the backbone of the American diet.”Omega-3s - Growth of Consumer AwarenessConcern over the Omega-3/Omega-6 imbalance has resulted in heightened consumer awareness. This awareness is reflected in increased sales of Omega-3 products within the natural food market:
According to NFM, sales in fish oil concentrate and flaxseed/flaxseed oil (both well-known sources of Omega-3 fatty acids) accounted for the fourth and fifth top ten vitamin and supplements for 2005.Flaxseed/flaxseed oil (Salba 's main competitor) went up 7% from $37,292,271 in 2004 to $39,912,395 in 2005 (NFM).Sales for essential fatty acids went up a total of 35.03% from 2004 to 2005 leaving total dollar sales at $109,327,200 (NFM).The basic differences between Omega-3s and -6s:Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation,Omega-6 fatty acids increase inflammation.Omega-3 fatty acids are antithrombotic,Omega-6 fatty acids increase blood clotting.Omega-3 fatty acids are non-immunoreactive,Omega-6 fatty acids are immunoreactive.Omega-3 BenefitsBecause imbalanced ratios are relatively new, there are many research projects underway surrounding the benefits of Omega-3s. Some of the preliminary results support the hypothesis that Omega-3s benefit:
» Child Depression
» Breast, Colon, and Prostate Cancer
» Weight Management/Obesity
» Coronary Heart Disease» Diabetes Management
» Cardiovascular Heart Disease
» As well as contributing to:
» More energy
» Clearer skin
» Healthier hair
» Improved bone and joint health
