Balance Oil (Omega 6 + 3 Fatty Acid Supplement)

Oxidized omega-6 fatty acids found in heated, processed seed oils are inflammatory and not good for you. They’re often found in processed foods, and when eaten in excess can throw off the body’s internal fatty acid balance. But cold-pressed, non-oxidized omega-6s in their natural state are essential nutrients your body cannot do without.* 

Most omega-6 sources in the USA are now compromised because safflower and sunflower oils have been bred for high oleic acid (which is a monounsaturated fat, not omega-6). 

BodyBio Balance Oil is naturally high in linoleic acid, with similar concentrations to whole organic raw sunflower, chia, and pumpkin seeds.

No, Balance Oil should never be heated.  High temperatures destroy the double bonds of polyunsaturated lipids, making them rancid and turning an essential fatty acid supplement into an oxidized product.* 

It’s safe to add Balance Oil to hot soups, coffees, and teas as long as those liquids are not actively boiling. It works beautifully when drizzled over warm finished foods, blended into smoothies, or used in salad dressings.

Fish oil delivers EPA and DHA, the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids your body uses for specific cellular functions, while Balance Oil delivers alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the parent omega-3 your body converts as needed.* 

The bigger difference is that Balance Oil also delivers unrefined linoleic acid (omega-6) from organic safflower oil in the 4:1 ratio your cells need, where fish oil supplements provide no omega-6 at all.* People on modern diets are getting too much oxidized omega-6 from processed cooking oils and not enough unrefined linoleic acid for healthy cell membranes.* Balance Oil addresses both essential fatty acids in a single supplement, which is why many users find it delivers results fish oil alone never did for them.*

The cell membrane is approximately 50% lipids and 50% proteins, working together to build the structure and function your cells depend on. Mixing Balance Oil with protein helps protect essential fatty acids from oxidation during digestion, and it reproduces the natural way your body digests these nutrients in whole foods. Try Balance Oil drizzled over scrambled eggs, blended into a protein smoothie, or stirred into Greek yogurt for an easy way to combine the two macronutrients. However, if you forget to take it with a meal, you can take it straight from the spoon. The most important thing for your cells is consistently getting the essential fatty acids they need.

No side effects have been reported with Balance Oil at the recommended daily dose of 2 softgels or 1/2 teaspoon. As with any supplement that contains polyunsaturated fats, people deficient in fatty acids may notice some digestive adjustment as the body begins incorporating the new fatty acids into cell membranes. This is usually temporary.

If you experience persistent digestive issues, take Balance Oil with food and consider mixing the liquid format with protein to support absorption. Anyone on blood-thinning medications, with a known seed allergy, or managing a specific health condition should consult their healthcare practitioner before starting supplementation.

Research suggests that a 4:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids is closest to what humans evolved to consume, and is associated with better cellular function, healthier inflammatory responses, and more efficient mitochondrial energy production than the 15:1 to 25:1 ratios common in modern Western diets.*

The typical Western diet skews toward omega-6 (largely from processed seed oils), but most of that is oxidized, leaving people over-consuming damaged omega-6 and under-consuming the unrefined linoleic acid their cells actually need.* BodyBio Balance Oil rebalances both sides of the omega-6/omega-3 equation.*
