Dr. Ohhira’s Essential Living Oils, A Vegan Alternative to Fish Oil!
Humans literally must have Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) in order to live. That’s why they’re called “essential.” Since our bodies cannot manufacture EFAs, we need to acquire them from food or supplements.*
Because they support nutrient absorption and membrane integrity of all the body’s cells, Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) influence the health and wellness of all major body systems and organs. Whole health benefits are achieved only by ingesting a very specific balanced ratio of polyunsaturated, unsaturated, and monounsaturated EFAs—namely Omegas-3, 6 and 9 in a ratio of 4:1:1.*
This balance is not always represented in common retail supplements. And the typical American diet tends to contain a very imbalanced ratio, with Omega-6 intake ranging from 15 to 25 times the intake of Omega-3. Through strategic supplementation, it is possible to maintain an appropriate 4:1:1 ratio, which in turn, promotes whole health.*
Fish oil and fatty fish are good sources of Omega-3, but many people are looking for alternative sources of EFAs, due to taste preference or vegan lifestyles. Dr. Ohhira’s Essential Living Oils provides that vegan alternative. Eight natural plant and seed oils are cold-pressed, extracted and prepared to provide a pure, undamaged form of plant-based “good fats” for optimum health.*
These “good fats” do hundreds of crucial jobs, from promoting normal hormonal balance to supporting cardiovascular health. They also support cellular membrane integrity, which affects EVERY organ and tissue in the human body. They’re truly essential to a whole health regimen
The Skinny on Essential Fatty Acids
- Besides their role in building hormones, maintaining normal nervous system function and promoting effective but not over-expressed immune function, the good fats assure that cell membranes do their crucial job, which is to let the nutrients in and the wastes out.
- Our processed foods are missing beneficial fats and, worse yet, are high in fats that have health-damaging effects.
- Dr. Ohhira Essential Living Oils provide the beneficial fats in an ideal balance of Linolenic Acid (Omega-3), Linoleic Acid (Omega-6, especiallyGLA) and Oleic Acid (Omega-9).
- Based on research by a renowned Japanese scientist, it was created from seeds and plants carefully selected for their unique nutritional properties. Only non-GMO plants and seeds are used.
- Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are not only required for life, they must be ingested because our bodies cannot manufacture them.
- Eight high-quality plants and seeds were scientifically selected by award-winning microbiologist, Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira, to provide important fatty acids that support optimal health to the cells that in turn build optimum organs and function.
They are carefully extracted to preserve the natural qualities and properties of the plants,resulting in the purest form of good fats and oils.
- Rice Bran Oil From the plant Oryza sativa. A rich source of oryzanol known for support of hormone balance. Supports healthy cholesterol levels. Believed to be the most potent source of powerful tocotrienols.*
- Borage Seed From the plant Borago officinalis. Supports anti-inflammatory and antithrombotic activities.*Richest plant source of the important regulating fat, GLA.
- Sunflower Seed From the plant Helianthus annuus. Includes Omega-9 and some Omega-6. High in protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium and Vitamin E.
- Avocado From the plant Persea Americana. Rich in Omega-9 (monounsaturated ? a key to the heart healthy Mediterranean diet), also Omega-6 and Omega-3. High in Vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, D and E.
- Perilla Seed From the mint family, Perilla frutescens. High levels of Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega-3) prized for support of heart health and immune function. Richest plant source of ALA.
- Flax Seed From the plant Linum usitatissimum. Source of Omega-3 as well as Omega-6 and Omega-9.Supports overall health and brain function.*
- Green Tea Seed From the tea plant, Camillia sinensis. Supports antioxidant activity and combats stress damage.*

The time consuming & expensive cold-press method of extracting oils is used to preserve the natural qualities and properties of the plant seeds so the consumer receives only the purest form of good oils available.
