| The Truth About Fat |
Most people think that avoiding all fat is the path to true health, but in reality there are two substances that can only be found in fat that are just as necessary to our survival as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Of the many kinds of fats, only the ones called Omega 3 and 6 have been designated as essential fatty acids (EFAs) by scientists, because every living cell in the body needs these fats, but the body can't make them on its own. A direct food source is always required.
The key to health from fats lies in ingesting the essential ones in the proper ratio. This isn't usually achieved as it has been shown that the average diet is far too high in omega 6 and dangerously low in omega 3. Another concern we face when choosing a source of EFAs is that the majority of oils found on grocery store shelves have been damaged by heat, light and oxygen and modern processing practices. These oils may no longer provide healthful EFAs and may even be harmful. |
| |
| Udo's Oil™ 3•6•9 Blend - Made with Health in Mind |
Udo's Oil™ 3•6•9 Blend is a special blend of carefully chosen, natural, unrefined, EFA-rich oils that has a pleasant, nutty, buttery taste. It contains oils from fresh, certified organic flax, sesame, sunflower and evening primrose seeds as well as oils from rice and oat germ, providing 'minor' ingredients with major health benefits. This oil blend has added non-GMO soy lecithin, which improves oil digestion and provides the building materials for healthy cell membranes. Udo's Oil™ 3•6•9 Blend also contains medium chain triglycerides, which are easy to digest and assimilate and can be used directly by our cells as a source of energy without increasing fat deposits.
Udo's Oil™ 3•6•9 Blend is pressed and filtered in a state-of-the-art, low heat, light and oxygen-free environment to maximize stability and provide nutritional value and freshness. Nitrogen purged, amber glass bottles are filled with the oil blend and then nitrogen flushed to eliminate oxygen. The bottles are then capped and packed in a box to further protect the ingredients and ensure the highest possible quality. It is kept refrigerated in storage and ice packed when in transit when the weather dictates to keep the heat sensitive EFAs fresh. |

| What makes Udo's Choice Oil Blend unique? |
|
 |
Udo's Choice Perfected (Ultimate) 3.6.9 Oil Blend is a certified organic blend of guaranteed GMO-free, unrefined edible oils. |
|
This unique blend delivers a reliable source of the n-3 and n-6 essential fatty acids that are essential to life. Based on 15 years of practical experience with fats and oils, this formula is a 2:1:1 ratio of n-3: n-6: n-9, a combination most therapeutic for the n-3-deficient, n-6-rich diets, as well as 'low' and 'no' fat diets, common today. The Perfected Oil Blend includes oils from fresh flax, sesame and sunflower seeds, as well as oils from evening primrose, rice germ and oat germ.
This blend is rich in GMO-free lecithin, which provides the building materials for healthy cell membranes. The formula used to include medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are easy to digest and assimilate, but are not available in an organic form. These were recently replaced by organic coconut oil, which contains MCTs with powerful antimicrobial effects, and powerful antioxidants. The blend also contains the potent antioxidant tocotrienols (from rice). The MCTs in the coconut oil are used directly by our cells as an energy source without increasing fat deposits. Vitamin E and rosemary oil, both potent antioxidants, are added to increase freshness and to act as scavengers of free radical molecules in the body. |
| |
|
Carefully chosen, the seeds used to make Udo's Choice Perfected 3, 6, 9 Oil Blend are pressed at a temperature |
|
of less than 50°C and, even more important, in the absence of light and oxygen. Nitrogen-flushed, amber glass bottles packaged in a box and found only in the fridge or freezer, protects this Oil Blend from potential damage by heat, light and oxygen, and helps to ensure maximum freshness and stability.
|
| |
|
Along with the invaluable health benefits blended essential fats confer when taken internally, |
|
external application has also proven to be of benefit for nice skin. In the January 2000 issue of the UK fashion magazine, Tatler, alternative health guru, Leslie Kenton, explains "I cover my face and body religiously with Udo's Choice Oil."
The Udo's Choice Perfected Oil Blend won the Gold Alive Award each year it was entered, each time in a different category (1996, 1997, 1999, 2000). |

| Does a woman's needs for EFA's (Essential Fatty Acids) increase during pregnancy? |
| During breast feeding, the child pulls 11 grams of EFAs
from the mother daily through breast milk. |
| |
EFAs are required for brain development and brain function. During pregnancy, the child draws EFAs from the mother's body to build its brain, which is over 60% fat and very rich in both n-3 and n-6 EFA derivatives. The placenta contains receptors that ensure that n-3 and n-6 EFAs are transported from the mother to the baby. No such receptors are found for the non-essential monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids. |
| |
| During pregnancy, the child depletes women of EFAs. Each child gets less EFAs than the previous child, and each subsequent child depletes the mother further unless the mother augments her diet with essential fatty acids. |
| |
Depletion of the mother's EFA stores explains why younger children have far more developmental and behavioral problems than older children, especially in large families in which the children are born close together. |
| |
Depletion of EFAs during pregnancy also provides a rationale for why women experience far more depression, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue, and more inflammatory, autoimmune, and collagen diseases than men. Women suffer these problems from 2 to 15 times more frequently than men do. The depletion of EFAs during child bearing predisposes women to these conditions. Men are not depleted by baby brain building in the way that women are. |

| |
*OPEN CLINICAL TRIAL: The Effects of Essential Fatty Acids on Athletic Performance, General Well Being and Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease |
| |
An extensive study carried out in Denmark determined that an adequate amount of Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend improves athletic performance. |
| |
The study was coordinated by sports and fitness expert Oscar Umahro Cadogan, who is a nutritional consultant to some of Europe's top athletes, and works in close association with Ivor de Lima, coach to some of the best boxers in Northern Europe, including current and former world champions. |

| Procedure: |
Sixty-one active males and females, ranging in age from 16 to 62, from diabetics exercising a few times a week to triathletes and professional boxers, ingested Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend for approximately 8 weeks (an average of 59 days). No changes were made to the participants' diet, supplement regime or exercise schedule. The initial dosage was set at 1/2 tablespoon of oil per 50 lb (23kg) of body weight daily, for the first 7 days; 3/4 tablespoon per 50 lb of body weight from day 8 to day 14; and 1 tablespoons per 50 lb of body weight onward. Measured in terms of energy, participants received an extra 5.1 calories per kg of body weight daily in the form of Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend.
The participants' responses were obtained and compiled through questionnaires and interviews. Valid information on subjective responses was obtained from 47 of the 61 persons who initially enrolled in the trial, from the following disciplines: |
- Basketball
- Triathlon
- Duathlon
- Medium-distance
running
- Capoeira
- Cycling
- Boxing
- Kickboxing
- Weight-resistance
- and fitness training
|
| 75% of participants experienced improvement in athletic performance while using Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend. The most significant improvements being made in the areas of stamina and endurance, recovery time, inflammation and lean mass increase. |
| |
|
| Recovery Time: |
62% of participants experienced a decrease in the time it takes them to recover from exercise and muscle strain. The anti-inflammatory effects of EFAs likely played a role in the decrease in recovery time. Mild inflammation occurs in various tissues - muscles, joints, connective tissue, etc. - after physical exercise when the immune system becomes engaged in breaking down dead and damaged cells. If this post-exercise inflammatory state becomes too pronounced, healthy cells may also be damaged and recovery time will increase. |
| |
| "I recover better and faster. This applies to both the time between individual practice sessions and within each practice session. Before entering the trial I would be dead tired after practice and aching and sore for an hour afterwards. Now I feel as if I can do another training session again after 20-30 minutes." L.N., age 24 |
| |
| "I have faster recuperation from physical exercise and after strenuous work days. I don't feel tired after physical workouts. One day I was working from 6 am to 8 pm and still felt recuperated the next morning after 8 hours of sleep, which did surprise me. Before entering the trial, such a working day would have left me exhausted." A.C., age 57 |
| |
| Stamina and Endurance: |
57% of participants experienced a significant increase in their stamina and endurance. This includes an increase in blood flow and oxygenation of tissues, as well as an increase in the ability to absorb and utilize oxygen (VO2 max). One runner went from running a total of approx. 90 km a week, to running a total of 147 km a week, without reaching the point of over training. One cyclist increased his 60-80 km a day to a total of 100-120 km a day without reaching the point of over training. |
| |
| "I am able to train with as much weight as I did 10-15 years earlier, when I was training most intensely in my mid-30's. Some days I am even able to train with more weight than that. I can do my sets so fast that my training partner - in his late 20's – sometimes can't keep up with the pace and I still don't feel completely spent afterwards." P.K., age 50 |
| |
| "In the spring of 2001, I had my best season ever, even beating several of the pro-cyclists and consistently performing better than any previous season." N.K., age 27 |
| |
| "I wouldn't be able to do without the oil on my present training schedule." S.S., age 23 |
| |
| Inflammation: |
26% of participants experienced a decrease in inflammation in general but especially in weight bearing joints. Decreased inflammation can lead to increased nitrogen retention since less tissue is broken down by an overly pronounced post-exercise inflammatory state. A 50-year old male participant in the trial experienced the most dramatic decrease in inflammation. At the age of 35 he injured both knees and one shoulder, which needed surgery, in an accident and as a result suffered from continuous inflammation in both knees and especially in the shoulder. When he entered the trial he could train no more than twice a week, or the pain in the shoulder would become too intense. He experienced significant decreases in inflammation after using the oil blend for 4 weeks. After 8 weeks his knees and shoulder were pain free even when he trained intensively. He consequently increased the number of workouts to 3 or 4 times a week without the pain coming back. |
| |
| "Before using the oil, I was troubled by knee problems. Within a month of starting on the oil and until now, I haven't been troubled by my knee even during and after marathons, triathlons, duathlons, and long distance mountain biking competitions." S.S., age 23 |
| |
| Lean Mass Increase (Eat Fat, Gain Muscle): |
21% of participants experienced increases in lean mass. These are not the kind of fats that will make you fat. In fact, the exact opposite is true. A deficiency of EFAs can lead to substantial weight gain as the body desperately holds onto excess calories looking for the missing nutrients. When those essential fats are provided the body no longer needs the fat it has been storing and it will release it in the form of energy. The EFAs in Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend increase fat burning and decrease fat production and storage. EFAs can also increase the production of human growth hormone and the binding of insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) to its receptors, which in turn stimulate increases in lean mass. Since the muscle that you have burns fat for fuel, the more lean muscle mass you have the more fat you can burn. |
| |
| "When I started taking the oil, I had reached a plateau in my muscular development. At that point, I'd been training for 9 years, but it seemed as if I couldn't develop my muscle mass any further. After I began to take the oil, my muscle mass started developing again. My weight increased by another 15 kg since then. Also my hair grows much faster and is thicker." J.L., age 20's |
| |
| "I have put on between 1.5 and 2 kg of muscle while my body fat went from 9% to approx. 7% in the same period. This happened within two months of taking the oil; my weight and body fat have been steady ever since." S.S., age 23 |
| |
| Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend Made the Difference |
| "At one point, I did have a short break from the oil for only a few days. During this time, I experienced a regress in terms of energy levels, stamina, concentration etc. A few days after starting supplementation with the oil again, things went back to 'normal'." J.D.K., age 54 |

"I felt things getting better from day to day. Usually I get tired as the day progresses and can't get the pulse up and going. But I had lots of energy and kept on training the whole day. Up in the morning, some swimming, running, then some weights, and on and on. It would be late and dark when I finished for the day, but I would still have lots of energy. Everyday, boom, out of bed at 8 o'clock and I'd be ready." Laurits Thorning Jakobsen |
