DHA, or Docosahexaenoic Acid, is an omega-3 fatty acid that is essential for the proper functioning of our brains as adults, and for the development the nervous system and visual abilities during the first six months of life.* This makes DHA supplementation important for pregnant and nursing women.*
Flora's DHA Flax Oil is a vegetarian source of unrefined DHA, blended with organic Flora Flax Oil to provide you with a DHA-rich oil from tank-grown algae, not fish. Because Flora DHA Flax Oil uses only cultivated algae instead of fish oil, it is naturally free of ocean-borne contaminants like PCBs, dioxins and mercury. As an added environmental benefit, cultivated algae are a completely renewable resource that does not have a detrimental impact on the depletion of fisheries anywhere in the world.
Flora’s DHA Oil is blended with Flora's Flax Oil, which is cold-pressed from certified organic flax seeds that have been carefully selected for flavor and maturity. The seeds are pressed in a state-of-the-art, low-heat, light-and oxygen-free environment and then bottled in environmentally friendly, light-resistant amber glass to ensure maximum nutritional value and freshness.* This gluten-free unrefined oil contains no GMO material and is processed without hexane extraction in a GMP, Kosher facility in order to control to purity.
USEFUL FOR:
The development and functioning of the adult brain and for the development of the brain, eyes and nervous systems of children.*
Satisfying the daily requirement for omega-3s.*
Supplying Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), Oleic Acid, Linoleic acid (LA), DHA, Gamma Linolenic Acid (GLA) and Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA).*
The body can convert DHA to EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid that is a precursor to the production of prostaglandins which help promote healthy levels of “good cholesterol” and support the optimal functioning of the arteries.*

Epresat® Multivitamins for Easy Absorption
How effective is your daily multivitamin? Did you know that digesting solid vitamins can be difficult? The elderly and the chronically ill simply do not have enough stomach acid to carry out this process. As a result--tablets, capsules and chewable vitamins often exit the body undigested, providing very little benefit.
Epresat® is an easy-to-absorb liquid multivitamin that supplies 8 essential vitamins in a delicious natural concentrate. This formula helps to maintain health of eyesight, night vision, immune function, membrane, skin, bones, teeth, cartilages and gums.

ASSISTS WITH:
Flax-O-Mega® capsules are cold-pressed from certified organic flax seeds to provide the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) required for optimal health.
Omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs are necessary for the normal functioning of every cell, tissue, gland and organ. Since the body cannot make EFAs on its own, they must come from foods or dietary supplements.
Because omega-6s are found in a wide variety of foods, most people consume adequate amounts of this essential fatty acid. In fact, many people overindulge in foods that contain omega-6s. These items include polyunsaturated vegetable oils made from safflower, sunflower, soybean, sesame, pumpkin, wheat germ, corn, cottonseed, walnut and wheat germ. Seeds and nuts are rich in omega-6s and so are most meats, fast foods and snack foods.
Omega-3s are more likely to be lacking in the average person’s diet, because there are relatively few foods that contain these important foundational fats. Dietary sources include oils from fish as well as some plants and nuts. Omega-3s are found in oil from halibut, salmon, sardines, mackerel and tuna. Vegetable oils, such as soybean, olive, canola and flax seed contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid.
Flax oil is one of the richest sources of omega-3s. It is also less expensive and does not contain environmental toxins as is often the case with fish.
The effects of Omega-3 deficiency include:

Shakespeare once wrote that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Consider all the impressions we receive through our eyes, and how much our eyes reveal about us. Most people believe that the only avenue for those with vision problems is corrective lenses, laser surgery or drugs. Sight is one of our most precious senses – fortunately there are nutrients and herbs that can play a valuable role in supporting the health of our eyes.*
Lutein and zeaxanthin are the two major carotenoid pigments in the human macula and retina. The macula is a part of the eye found in the center of the retina, directly behind the lens. It’s a tiny area composed of millions of cells that help produce the vision needed to read and to see objects clearly.
Lutein is very important to human health, but your body cannot manufacture it on its own. Consuming foods (ie. spinach, kale, broccoli, corn) and taking dietary supplements that contain it is the only way for the body to get lutein, which is needed by the eyes, skin, blood serum, brain, cervix and breast.*
Within the eye, lutein is highly concentrated in the macular region and filters out more than 90% of the blue wavelengths of light from the visible-light spectrum. Blue light, whether from sunlight or indoor lighting, can lead to oxidative stress and free radical damage in the eyes.
In regards to the skin, lutein is deposited in the outer and inner dermal layers providing antioxidant protection against exposure to the sun and environmental pollutants.

Because of poor eating habits, daily stress and the average modern diet that consists of too many nutrient-depleted processed foods, it is wise to supplement with Flora™ MULTI CAPS on a daily basis.
Traditionally our competitors prepare materials for tablets and capsules with Wet Bed Granulation, a process that requires the use of alcohol solvents and high temperature drying to achieve the necessary material characteristics.
Flora™ eliminates the need for this potentially destructive process by using Dry Bed Granulation, which allows the solids to dissolve faster so that the active compounds are released more efficiently. And because no moisture is involved in the process, the quality of the B vitamins is better preserved.
Easy to absorb, Flora™ MULTI CAPS are designed to ensure exceptional bioavailability of nutrients such as vitamin C, D3, E and many B vitamins as well as calcium, magnesium, potassium and zinc.

Every cell, tissue, gland and organ is dependent upon the presence of Essential Fatty Acids or EFAs. Your body needs these foundational fats, but cannot make them on its own. They must be obtained through dietary sources. Unfortunately, the modern Western diet is often quite deficient in omega-3 EFAs.
EFAs manufacture and repair cell membranes, enabling the cells to properly assimilate nutrients from our foods and efficiently expel toxins and waste products. A deficiency, or even an imbalance, of EFAs can be linked to a decline in the optimal functioning of the body’s natural processes.
Udo’s Oil™ 3·6·9 Blend supplies omega-3 and omega-6 EFAs in a 2:1 ratio. It is a special formulation of natural, unrefined oils from fresh, certified organic flax, sunflower, sesame and evening primrose seeds as well as oils from coconut, rice and bran.
This formula is the result of many years of scientific study by world-renowned nutrition expert Udo Erasmus, author of the best-selling book, Fats That Heal Fats That Kill. Udo’s research over the years indicates that the best results come consistently from oils blended to be richer in omega-3 than omega-6, in a 2:1 ratio.* Udo’s oil contains the ideal ratio, while fish oils and pure flax oils do not.
Why you need a 2:1 ratio: The key to health from fats lies in ingesting the essential ones in the proper ratio.* This isn’t usually achieved because the average Western diet is much too high in omega-6 and dangerously low in omega-3.
Omega-3 ALA (alpha linolenic acid) and omega-6 LA (linoleic acid) are Essential Fatty Acids the body requires for maintaining good health.* Flax seed oil is the richest known source of omega-3 ALA, which helps promote healthy cholesterol and triglyceride levels.*(1)
Udo’s Oil™ 3-6-9 Blend is made with health in mind, unlike supermarket cooking oils, which are highly processed for long shelf life. All ingredients in Udo’s oils are grown and processed without chemicals. For optimum freshness, these products are sealed in non-reactive recyclable amber glass bottles to avoid damage from heat and light.
USEFUL FOR:
RESEARCH FINDINGS:
Numerous scientific studies have shown that, as part of a healthy diet, EFAs help:
EFAs also contribute to skin health, helping dry, scaly skin become clearer, smoother and softer.*(7)
Because large amounts of EFAs are needed for normal development and function of the brain and nervous system, a deficiency of EFAs can lead to problems like mood swings, proneness to stress, and a decline in memory, learning skills and concentration.*(8)

Flora Udo's Oil™ DHA 3·6·9 Blend
On sale $ 14.99 $ 13.49
Vegetarian-Sourced DHA Blended with Udo’s Oil™
Made with DHA sourced from unrefined algae, not fish,Udo’s Oil™ DHA 3•6•9 Blend offers you vitally important omega-3 fatty acids made from completely sustainable plant sources. A renewable resource, cultivated tank-grown algae has no detrimental impact on worldwide fisheries. We get our DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) the same way fish get theirs—directly from algae. Because it’s tank grown-algal sourced, this DHA product is free from ocean-borne contaminants.
DHA supports the proper functioning of our brains as adults, and supports the normal physical development of the brain, eyes and nerves, primarily in children under two years of age. One serving of Udo’s DHA Oil Blend provides 100 milligrams of DHA omega-3 fatty acids.
Udo’s Oil™ DHA 3•6•9 Blend combines DHA-rich algae with a special formulation of natural, unrefined oils from fresh organic flax, sunflower, sesame and evening primrose seeds as well as oils from coconut and rice bran. DHA is one of the most important long-chain fatty acids in the omega-3 family: the majority of the fatty acids found in the brain and in the retina are in the form of DHA. The body can convert DHA to EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), an omega-3 fatty acid that is a precursor to the production of prostaglandins which help promote good health.
