Description
Ultra EFA is a very strong bioactive fatty acid blend that features a high-quality marine lipid concentrate blended with hexane-free borage oil. Marine lipids contain EPA and DHA, Omega 3 fatty acids. The highest concentration of GLA in any seed oil is found in Borage oil. Rosemary and vitamin E provide antioxidants that effectively stop the oxidative degradation of delicate fatty acids.
DHA and EPA can aid in supporting the normal inflammatory response of catss including prompting programmed cell death in neoplastic cells. The effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiation therapy can also be improved with DHA and EPA. There are evidence-based veterinary studies that have found multiple applications for fish oils when given for at least three months in suitable doses. We recommend including fish oil supplementation for cats in their wellness programs.
