This essential fatty acid blend provides ideal ratios of EPA, DHA and GLA that are critical for normal brain development and visual function in children and adults. The EPA and DHA are derived from pharmaceutical-grade fish oil concentrates, free from lipid peroxides and environmental pollutants including heaving metals, pesticides, dioxins, PCBs and other harmful compounds. The GLA comes from borage oil which is extracted by cold pressing (expeller pressing), a process that does not utilize hexane or other harmful solvents. This oil tastes delightfully "peachy" due to the natural flavours (peach, vanilla, orange) and is tasty to young taste buds.

Learning Factors Advanced School-Aid blend of essential fatty acids and antioxidants is for optimal brain and visual performance in children. These fatty acids are called essential because they must be provided in the diet since the body cannot consistently make them. Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is a derivative of essential omega-3 fatty acids. Less well-known but also important are the omega-6 fatty acid derivatives, gamma linolenic acid (GLA).  When they are added to the diet of some hyperactive children they seem to calm down and are able to concentrate and interact normally in their surroundings.
