Alpha-Linolenic Acid is a carboxylic acid found often in vegetable oils. People who have diets rich in Alpha-Linolenic Acid have shown a lower frequency of heart disease. However, if the diet is not abundant in this, it can be substituted with the use of a dietary supplement. Hardening of the arteries, heart attack and stroke are linked to a lack of Alpha-Linolenic Acid. However, excessive bleeding is also shown when there is too much of this compound. Dietary supplements are often used with those who are at higher risk of heart attack or stroke to help reduce or eliminate the potential for disease.

Borage Oil (seed).

DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid, chemically it is a carboxylic acid with a 22-carbon chain and six cis double bonds. Its chemical formula is C22H32O2 and Mol. Mass is 328.488 g/mol. Fish oils are the primary source of DHA. Research is being done on its application in treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It is also used as a supplement by pregnant women because studies indicate that low levels of erythrocyte DHA are associated with poor retinal development, low visual acuity, and poor cognitive development. DHA is becoming popular as a supplement for infants because it promotes healthy brain development and makes infants gain weight faster.

EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) is among the many omega3 fatty acids that are used by the body. It is present in fatty fish, and also in fish oil supplements, together with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). This fatty acid is an element of a healthy diet, and reduces the hazards of heart diseases. Enhanced ingestion of EPA has positive effects on high blood pressure, coronary heart diseases, and disorders related to inflammation, like rheumatoid arthritis. If you do not get enough EPA in your diet, you need to take supplements. This fatty acid is extremely vital for proper development of children’s brains.

Fish Oil used to be regular oil derived from oily fish, it looked and smelled the part and children simply hated it, although it was good for them.

The oil is considered very effective for the nutrition of the entire body. Being a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, flaxseed oil is required for the smooth functioning of almost every body system.

According to experts, this oil can be taken as an essential supplement for promoting good health. It is as good as taking multi vitamins. Its natural properties can benefit every part such as the immune system, nervous system, circulatory system and joints.

Gamma-Linolenic Acid is an omega-6 fatty acid and is the result of first biochemical step of the body in transforming the essential fatty acid, linoleic acid, into important prostaglandins, which are vital to proper functioning of cells, and essential fatty acids formed from Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) are needed for the structure of each cell. It is good for vasodilatation of blood vessels that can decrease high blood pressure. It also reduces abnormal blood clotting that can decrease heart attack and stroke risk. It provides increased regulation of immune response, and defense against abnormal cell proliferation. It helps control common skin disorder like eczema, and slow down certain aspects of normal aging.

Gelatin constitutes the shells of pharmaceutical capsules in order to make them easier to swallow. Gelatin is a translucent, colourless, brittle, nearly tasteless solid substance, extracted from the collagen inside animals' connective tissue.

Glycerin is a neutral, sweet-tasting, colorless, thick liquid with a high boiling point and freezes to a gummy paste. It is highly hygroscopic meaning it easily absorbs water from the air. Some other uses of glycerin include conserving preserved fruit, as a base for lotions, prevention of freezing in hydraulic jacks and even preservation of specimens in laboratories. Glycerin is also used in the manufacture of soaps which can contain up to 25% pure glycerin. This makes the soaps very moisturizing to the skin.

Linoleic Acid belongs to the group of essential fatty acids; it is an unsaturated omega 6 fatty acid. The Linoleic was derived from the word linon, which means “derived from oil”, “olive” or “relating to oleic acid”. Linoic acid affects the metabolism, aiding it to function efficiently. It helps the glucose to reach the muscles cells so the sugar will be prevented from turning into fat. Fats that enter the cell membranes of the muscles are converted into energy, thus, resulting in more energy and weight loss. Linoleic acid also helps in controlling the cholesterol level and preventing cardiovascular diseases. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Oleic Acid  is also known as the Omega 9 fatty acid. It is a monounsaturated fatty acid present in most natural fats. It is naturally found in avocado fruit, apricot seeds, almonds, olive oils and macadamia nuts. It can also be found in the cocoa butter used for making chocolates. Oleic acid is used to make synthetic cheeses and butters, ice creams, and sodas. It helps maintain cholesterol levels, thus, lowering the risks of heart attack, arteriosclerosis, and other such heart diseases. Oleic acid also aids in repairing cellular and tissue damages caused by free radical damages. It may also help in preventing cancer. It also has antioxidant properties that fights premature aging and maintains the skin’s moisture.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and is an antioxidant. Vitamin E helps to gradually break down blood clots in the circulatory system and helps prevent more from forming. Involved in red blood cell formation.
