I. East West Essential's Optimal Fatty Acid Blend

The doctors of East West Essentials recommend Optimal Fatty Acid Blend as an essential part of their comprehensive clinical approach to preserve and enhance reproductive health. This essential fatty acid complex is designed to provide the building blocks for hormone production crucial to fertility. Optimal Fatty Acid Blend is a unique, non-fish based, complex of unrefined oils offering a balanced ratio of fatty acids. (1:1ratio of omega 3's to omega 6's with .05 mg of Lignans per serving) Preliminary studies suggest that the nutrients found in Optimal Fatty Acid Blend have been shown to increase fetal birth weight, promote fetal brain development, support the processes of ovulation and sperm production, reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia, and is cardio-protective. Optimal Fatty Acid Blend also promotes skin elasticity which may aid in the prevention of constipation, stretch marks, and hemorrhoids.
