VITAMIN F

A skin-conditioning anti-inflammatory fatty acid, essential to maintaining skin’s natural structure and functionality, and retaining moisture.

 

Vitamin F

Vitamin F is a critical component of our heart and cognitive health, as well as the development of the nervous system.

Vitamin F is actually a combination of two fatty acids: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and linolenic acid (LA). These two acids are crucial for the normal function of a body, and without them, there would be a severe state of deficiency that would result in blood being unable to clot and decreased muscle movement.

There are many key benefits to these particular fatty acids that include the functioning and development of retinas, support of neurons and synapses of the brain, and reduced risk of heart disease. These two fats can also be converted into other valuable fats for your body to maintain health.

There is also evidence to suggest that Vitamin F plays a role in reducing inflammation for those with Rheumatoid Arthritis, allowing for lower pain levels, relief from joint pain, and less muscle stiffness.

Although rare, a lack of Vitamin F can result in symptoms such as dry skin, hair loss, poor development in children, improper immune response, skin sores, and issues with visibility and brain processes. Make sure you’re getting enough Vitamin F in your diet to prevent these issues.
