The human brain has a 1:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 EFAs. Most people are deficient in Omega-3 since the average North American diet is much higher in Omega-6. The 1:1 ratio of Essential Balance® helps to raise Omega-3 levels while you continue to receive Omega-6 from outside food sources, which maintains a healthy balance. The optimal ratio of 1:1 Omega-6 to Omega-3 has shifted dangerously high to approximately a 20:1 ratio.
