Efamarine is a unique mixture of Efamol Evening Primrose Oil and fish body oil from cold salt water fish. It also contains Vitamin E as an antioxidant. The unique combination of Evening Primrose Oil and fish oil provides a specific ratio of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids. That optimizes the bodies ability to make a potent and highly beneficial substance called Prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). PGE1 improves cardiovascular function and is a strong anti-inflammatory making it useful to reduce symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. As well, there is a close relationship between fatty acid metabolism and the immune response. Fatty acids help the body's natural defense mechanisms effectively combat viral infections and have been used to help manage symptoms of immunological conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Multiple Sclerosis.
The key ingredient of Efalex is tuna oil, selected from a specific part of the fish due to the high DHA content. These oils are purified and do not contain levels of vitamin A and vitamin D, typically found in fish liver oils. Rich in omega-6 fatty acids, Efamol's high quality, extensively tested evening primrose oil is a main ingredient. Vitamin E and thyme oil are added as antioxidants.

Essential Fatty Acids are like vitamins because they cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained from dietary sources. Once ingested, the main dietary essential fatty acid, linoleic acid (LA), must be transformed first to GLA in this process and then to a whole series of other natural substances essential to the body's well being, including prostaglandins (Essential Fatty Acid Metabolic Pathway). The effective completion of the first step in this process varies from person to person as has been shown by many university investigators. The formation of GLA may be blocked by substances in a typical western diet and can be hampered by stress, excess alcohol, smoking, poor eating, viral infections and a number of commonly occurring diseases. Under these conditions, Efamol scientists found that there may be considerable advantages to supplying preformed GLA to the body directly using EPO.
