Naturopaths and nutritionists would tell you that if you have even a few of these symptoms, you likely suffer from one of today’s most rampant deficiencies: that of essential fatty acids, or EFAs. You may know them as omega-3 and omega-6. EFA deficiency is connected to everything listed above, and more! You can make every other kind of fat you need – and free yourself from a lot of annoying symptoms – if you get enough EFAs. That’s why they’re called essential.

It’s no surprise that not getting enough healthy fats leads to a wide range of problems. It all comes down to the cellular level. If you lack EFAs, your cell membranes lose their flexibility and their ability to let nutrients in and toxins out. This malnourishment at such a basic level has repercussions throughout the body. Your hair, skin, and nails begin to feel dry. Your immune system becomes weakened and fatigue sets in. Your joints stiffen up. Your brain is made mostly of fats so, without them, your thought processes – and your mood – become strained. In addition to all of these EFA connections, science has proven the benefits on hormones, high cholesterol, blood pressure, triglycerides, and heart health.

AIMega® is the convenient answer to this deficiency problem. It contains freshly pressed oil from organic seeds grown in Canada: flax for its omega-3 and -6, and sesame and sunflower for omega-6. AIMega® also gives you olive oil for its highly beneficial omega-9, proven to nourish the heart. Add AIMega® to your everyday routine and reap the long-term benefits of these essential nutrients. The next time you check in, you’ll be happier with what checks out.

Lise Beaulieu is a Preferred Member from St. Leonard, New Brunswick, Canada. She knows firsthand of the benefits of AIMega® in dealing with skin problems. She suffered for years from psoriasis in the palm of her hands and on her fingers. “It was so bad that I was humiliated. When I would buy something at a store and receive change the store clerk would look at me like I had leprosy. My hands were swollen, itchy, and cracked all the time.”

Then she began taking AIMega®. She had read in Partners Living Well about a young boy who had psoriasis but had seen some benefit from taking AIMega®. Lise took the product with no visible results for two weeks then a change began. “It was like my system was cleaning out all of the problem” during those first two weeks. Five months later, she reports “I’m 95 percent better and I believe in a few months I will be fully better.”
