SciVation Essential FA Product Information
Complete Essential Fatty Acid
Formula!Your gains have been suffering. You will not get
optimal results if you do not get what you need. You absolutely need
fish oil containing the highest grades of DHA and EPA along with the
fat-blasting fatty acid GLA and specific minerals for what your lean
mass-seeking body needs. And that fish oil you are currently taking
might be hurting you and the environment. If fished for in uncontrolled,
dirty waters, who knows what contaminants and NASTY things you are
ingesting? Scivation has the answer. An affordable, all in one fish oil
and mineral formula designed just for you. Keep reading and find out how
Team Scivation Members will be the first to be able to harness this
power...
Fish Oil, while it might be tested for its omega 3
content, might have some contaminants since we don't know where the
fish are caught a lot of the time. Mercury, pollutants, gyno-inducing
estrogens...all a possibility. Not with Scivation. Scivation's source of
Fish oil (from the waters of Peru) provides the highest potency and
purity (mercury non-detectable) and ensures that the proper safeguards
are taken to also protect the environment by working with ethical
fishing organizations in South America. The General Law of Fishery
regulates all fishing activities in Peru. Peruvian waters are monitored
constantly by the Marine Institute of Peru (IMARPE) to ensure the
presence of a healthy and growing ecological system and avoid
contamination of the waters by enforcing adequate waste treatment for
all fishing companies. Can other fish oil supplements guarantee this
level of safety? Probably not.
Most also overlook the wonder
fat, GLA. This is NEEDED in a bodybuilders diet. For goodness sake,
it helps you lose fat! Scivation gets this from the highest quality,
tested borage oil.
And the final piece of the Essentials
puzzle, minerals. The Complete Essentials Blend is made for you with
lean mass gains in mind. Calcium, Vitamin D3, Magnesium and Vitamin E
are all needed and if you do not have enough, you will be shortchanging
yourself on fat loss and lean mass gains.
This is the formula
that you need, period. And while helping to protect the environment,
you will also be assuring the greatest gains of your life. Forget all
of the bells and whistles mumbo jumbo. You will be amazed at what will
happen with proper, untainted Essentials.
Ultra EFA ComplexEssential nutrients are
nutrients that the body cannot make and therefore must be obtained
through the diet. There are two groups of fatty acids that are essential
nutrients; the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These essential fatty
acids (EFAs) and their metabolites are used in multiple biological
processes in the body. Of prime importance are the omega-3's
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and the
omega-6 gamma linolenic acid (GLA).
EPA & DHA-The
Omega-3's
Most people's diets are high in omega-6's
and omega-9's but severely lack omega-3's. This is due to poor dietary
choices, specifically the consumption of processed foods. The omega-3
fatty acids EPA and DHA have been shown to decrease body fat mass,
support cardiovascular health, healthy blood pressure, insulin
sensitivity, inflammation reduction, joint health, along with many other
overall health benefits. EPA and DHA are also necessary for optimal
focus, concentration and memory. Since most diets are lacking in omega-3
fatty acids, taking supplemental EPA and DHA allows you to fill the
holes in your diet, giving you the beneficial fatty acids your body
needs.
EPA can be synthesized from alpha-linoleic acid (ALA),
but the ability of the body to do so is limited. Therefore, obtaining a
direct source of EPA and DHA, such as fish oil, is ideal. Scivation's
source of Fish oil (from the waters of Peru) provides the highest
potency and purity (mercury non-detectable) and ensures that the proper
safeguards are taken to also protect the environment by working with
ethical fishing organizations in South America. The General Law of
Fishery regulates all fishing activities in Peru. Peruvian waters are
monitored constantly by the Marine Institute of Peru (IMARPE) to ensure
the presence of a healthy and growing ecological system and avoid
contamination of the waters by enforcing adequate waste treatment for
all fishing companies.
GLA-The Omega-6
Gamma-linolenic
acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid found in plant oils. The
omega-6 fatty acids liolenic acid (LA) and arachadonic acid (AA) are
pro-inflammatory while (GLA) and dihomogamma-liolenic acid (DGLA) are
anti-inflammatory. GLA can be converted to either arachadonic acid (AA)
or dihomogamma-liolenic acid (DGLA) in the body, though supplemental GLA
obtained from oils is preferentially converted to DGLA and not AA,
leading to an anti-inflammatory effect. GLA has been shown to support
healthy nervous system, calcium absorption leading to stronger bones,
skin health, joint pain and swelling reduction, healthy blood pressure,
and possibly assist in weight management.
The body can
produce GLA from Linoleic Acid (LA), though deficiencies can
develop. Taking a GLA supplement ensures you have adequate amounts of
GLA in your diet. The GLA in Scivation EssentialFA comes from Borage
Oil.
The Complete EFA Blend gives you the three EFAs that
have positive health benefits and are often lacking in one's diet; EPA,
DHA, and GLA. Taking Scivation EssentialFA ensures that you do not
develop an EPA, DHA, or GLA deficiency and allows you to obtain the many
benefits these fatty acids posses.
Complete Essentials BlendVitamins and minerals are vital
to the proper functioning on the body and are involved in countless
reactions within the body. A deficiency of specific vitamins and
minerals can have many detrimental effects. One can obtain the majority
of their vitamin and mineral needs from food, but often times,
especially when on a calorie restricted diet, the vitamin and mineral
needs of the body are not met. Taking a multi-vitamin can help meet the
needs of the body, but there is still one mineral that most people do
not get enough of. That mineral is calcium. The Complete Essentials
Blend was designed to give you the calcium you need as well as maximize
its absorption.
Calcium & Vitamin D3
Calcium
is the most abundant mineral in the body, 99% of which is found in
bones and teeth. Calcium is involved in cell signaling, including muscle
contraction, nerve impulses, hormone and enzyme secretion, and vascular
system functioning. In adults, 55% of men and 78% of women do not get
enough calcium. When a calcium deficiency exists, calcium is obtained
from breaking down bones, leading to bone weakness as well as a
disturbance of normal body functioning.
In addition to
disturbed body functioning, long term calcium deficiency can lead to
osteoporosis, characterized by porous, fragile bones. Having fragile
bones makes you very susceptible to injuries. Of concern to
bodybuilders, a high protein diet may cause leaching of calcium from
bone due to increased blood phosphorus levels. Therefore, it is of vital
importance to maintain a high calcium intake when on a high protein
diet. Maintaining an adequate calcium intake is a must for long term
health.
Recent research shows calcium to play an important
role in fat loss. Calcium is stored in fat cells and it is believed
that the more calcium a fat cell contains the more fat it will burn
instead of store. Supplemental calcium in addition to the calcium
obtained from food helps give the body the calcium it needs. Vitamin D
is needed to absorb calcium. Scivation EssentialFA. contains calcium and
vitamin D to ensure you absorb the calcium it gives you.
Magnesium
Magnesium
is vital to human physiology and is part of over 300 metabolic
reactions/enzymes. Adequate magnesium is needed to sustain normal nerve
and muscle functioning as well as energy metabolism and protein
synthesis. Magnesium also facilitates calcium absorption. Like calcium,
the majority of magnesium in the body is found in bone. A magnesium
deficiency can cause fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, and weakness. A
high, as well as low, protein intake can inhibit magnesium absorption.
Therefore, when on a high protein diet, consuming additional
supplementary magnesium helps maintain adequate magnesium levels as well
as aids in calcium absorption.
Vitamin E
Vitamin
E is a fat-soluble vitamin involved in many metabolic reactions in
the body. Fish Oil supplementation may lower vitamin E levels in the
blood. The addition of vitamin E to Scivation EssentialFA prevents this
decrease in vitamin E from happening.
The Complete Essentials
Blend gives you the minerals and vitamins needed to ensure an
adequate calcium intake, which is needed to maintain bone strength and
integrity and the proper functioning of cell signaling.
