Flaxseed Oil
Flaxseed, also known as linseed, is a type of seed that is rich in nutrients and other compounds. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, as well as a variety of vitamins and minerals. Flaxseed is often ground and used as a supplement in the form of flaxseed meal or oil. Flaxseed has a number of potential health benefits. It is high in fiber, which can help improve digestion and lower cholesterol levels. The omega-3 fatty acids found in flaxseed are believed to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. Flaxseed is also a rich source of lignans, plant compounds that have been shown to have estrogen-like effects. Both flaxseed and flaxseed oil are popular dietary supplements and share many of the same purported health benefits. However, one of the main differences between the two is the amount of fiber they contain. Flaxseed is a good source of both soluble and insoluble fiber, while flaxseed oil does not contain any fiber. This means that flaxseed can help improve digestion and lower cholesterol levels, while flaxseed oil does not have these effects.

EPO
Evening primrose (Oenothera biennis) is a plant native to North and Central America and a member of the Onagraceae family. It is an annual plant that has bright yellow flowers that bloom in the evening (hence the name). The plant produces seeds that are rich in a fatty acid called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). Evening primrose oil is a dietary supplement that is derived from the seeds of the evening primrose plant. It is rich in GLA (gamma-linolenic acid), an omega-6 fatty acid, and is sometimes taken to improve the health of the skin, reduce inflammation, and reduce the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It has also been used historically for alcohol use disorder. Dietary supplements containing evening primrose oil generally are standardized by their gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid (LA) content.

Borage seed Oil
Borage (Borago officinalis) is an herb native to the Mediterranean region. It is known for its hairy, light blue flowers and hairy, hairy leaves. In herbal medicine, borage is used to treat a wide range of health conditions, including respiratory problems, inflammation, and anxiety. It is also used to stimulate the appetite and to help improve mood. Borage oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the plant and contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid, is used topically to treat skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis. Borage must be used cautiously if taken orally as the plant parts may contain liver-toxic compounds (pyrrolizidine alkaloids). It is important to only ingest preparations that are free of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

Formula |
- RICH IN OMEGA 3, 6 AND 9
- Max EFA(TM) is a synergistic and proprietary formula, comprised of the following essential fatty acids:
Flaxseed Oil: Flaxseed Oil is considered to be the world’s richest source of two very important EFA’s. These two essential fatty acids are alpha linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, and linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid. Flaxseed Oil also contains oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid, which is non-essential.
Wheat Germ Oil: Wheat Germ Oil contains several very important nutrients. Wheat Germ Oil is a rich source of linoleic acid and also includes alpha linoleic acid and oleic acid. In addition to this, it is rich in the nutrients Octacosanol and Vitamin E.
Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) Oil: CLA is not actually an essential fatty acid, but a variation of linolenic acid, which is one of the essential omega 3 fatty acids. Derived from Safflower Oil, CLA contains the bioactive isomers cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12 in the ideal 1:1 ratio. There have been substantial studies suggesting that CLA may increase metabolism and energy as well as help reduce the risk of certain types of cancers.
Evening Primrose Oil (EPO): EPO is the most popular source of gamma linolenic acid (GLA) another omega-6 fatty acid. This is another variation of alpha linolenic acid, that has some very exciting research behind it.
Borage Seed Oil: Borage Seed Oil is the most potent source of GLA. The benefits and research are very similar to Evening Primrose Oil, and the research is very exciting because it contains a much higher concentration of GLA.
