What is Sacha Inchi?
The Sacha Inchi plant, grown in the Amazon rainforest of Peru has been known to the natives for thousands of years according to the evidence provided by the pottery found in their tombs. It is a millenary legacy from ancient civilizations of Peru. The plant is also known as Sacha Peanut, Mountain Peanut or Inca-Peanut. Is a perennial plant with somewhat hairy leaves, in the Euphobiaceace.
Through
researches and experiments carried out by various scientists and two of
them were Hazen and Stowesand from the Institute of the Food Science at
the University of Cornell in USA in 1980, it was established that Sacha
Inchi seeds contain high protein (27%) and oil (35% - 60%).
Recently,
Sacha Inchi is gaining high international recognition for its taste and
health properties. It is the easiest digestible oil compare to others.
It was awarded with the gold medal at the international WEO 2004
competition in Paris. Sacha Inchi oil is one of the largest plant
sources of the Omega family in fatty acids, which is an essential for
human life. It contains Omega 3 (48%), Omega 6 (35%) and Omega 9 (9%).
Besides, they are also rich in iodine, Vitamin A and Vitamin E.

Omega
3 & Omega 6 are two families of essential fatty acids (EFAs).
EFAs are long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from linolenic
and linoleic acids and cannot in the human body and must be obtained
through foods. Omega-3s are used in the formation of cell walls,
making them supple and flexible, and improving circulation and oxygen
uptake with proper red blood cell flexibility and function. Omega-6s
improve diabetic neuropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, PMS, skin
disorders (e.g. psoriasis and eczema), and aid in cancer treatment.
Our body requires an ideal balance between Omega 3 & 6 to maintain
its correct functioning. Omega Oil offers this ideal balance between
Omega 3 & 6.
Benefits of Sacha Inchi
Just as a member
of a large family has many roles, essential fats serve many functions in
the complex workings of the human body. Taken in the right amounts and
ratios, and taken from the right sources, essential fats help establish
and maintain health as follows:
1.
Increase energy, performance, and stamina. EFAs enhance thermogenesis,
help build muscle, prevent muscle break down, and speed recovery from
fatigue;
2. Strengthen the immune system. EFAs make hormone-like
eicosanoids that regulate immune and inflammatory responses. N-3s have
anti-inflammatory effects and can slow autoimmune damage;
3.
Lower most risk factors for cardiovascular disease. EFAs (especially
n3s) lower abnormally high levels of blood pressure, triglycerides,
Lp(a), fibrinogen, tendency to clot formation, and inflammation;
4.
Improve brain function: mood, intelligence , behavior, and vision. Our
brain is over 60% fat. EFAs are important components of the entire
nervous system. They are necessary to make the neurotransmitter
serotonin. Depression and other brain diseases show decreased levels of
n-3;
5.
Aid in weight reduction. EFAs help keep mood and energy up and suppress
appetite, thereby aiding in weight loss. More recently, they have been
found to block the genes that produce fat in the body (saturated and
Trans Fat do not have this same effect) and increase thermogenesis;
6.
Regulate organs and glands. Liver and kidneys, adrenal and thyroid
glands, and the production of male and female hormones need EFAs;
7.
Speed recovery and healing. EFAs are necessary for cell growth and
division. They form all cell membranes and regulate vital cell activity;
8.
Support healthy child development. For nervous system development, a
growing fetus needs optimum EFAs from the mother's body. Mothers become
depleted of EFAs during pregnancy, and need optimal EFA intake for their
health and their children's optimum development;
9. Improve
digestion. Poorly digested foods tie up the immune system and can cause
gut inflammation, leaky gut, and allergies. N-3s improve gut integrity,
and decrease inflammation and "leaky gut";
10. Decrease infection. EFAs have anti-fungal, anti-yeast, and anti-microbial properties, helping to protect against infections;
Keep bones stron g. EFAs aid in the transport of minerals that keep bones and teeth strong, helping to prevent osteoporosis;
11. Protect genetic material. EFAs regulate gene expression, and n-3s inhibit tumor growth;
12.
Ease PMS. Studies indicate that n-6 (GLA) intake was voted, by women,
among the top three most effective PMS treatments. N-3s may be even more
effective;
13. Produce beautiful skin, hair, and nails. Some of
the first signs of EFA deficiency are dry, flaky skin, dull hair, and
brittle nails. N-3s can help skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis,
and acne. Also, GLA (n-6 derivative) administration is useful for some
patients with atopic eczema.
