Eight natural plant and seed oils are cold-pressed, extracted and prepared to provide a pure, undamaged form of plant-based “good fats” for optimum health.*

“I cannot overstate the importance of essential fatty acids to health. It’s no accident they’re called ‘essential’—you must get them from your diet or supplements. Because the typical American’s diet is largely processed food, many people don’t consume enough of them or at least in the appropriate ratio. Dr. Ohhira’s® Essential Living Oils™ is a simple solution to that common health issue.”
FAQs
Dr. Ohhira's Essential Living Oils are a dietary supplement featuring a proprietary blend of eight cold-pressed, plant-based oils. These include flaxseed, borage seed, avocado, perilla seed, olive, rice bran, sunflower seed, and tea seed oils. The formulation is designed to deliver a balanced ratio of Omega-3 (as Alpha-Linolenic Acid - ALA), Omega-6, and Omega-9 fatty acids.
These oils are formulated to support overall health and well-being. Reported benefits include promoting healthy inflammation response, supporting cardiovascular health, aiding in brain function and cognitive health, contributing to healthy skin, assisting with hormonal balance, and bolstering the immune system.
The supplement offers a plant-derived source of Omega-3 in the form of ALA from oils like flaxseed and perilla seed. The human body can convert ALA into EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), though the conversion rates can vary among individuals.
The generally recommended dosage is typically two capsules taken daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional.
Yes, Dr. Ohhira's Essential Living Oils are certified vegan, making them a suitable alternative to fish oil-based omega supplements for those following a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle.
The primary ingredients are a blend of cold-pressed oils: Flax Seed Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, Perilla Oil, Tea Seed Oil, Olive Oil, and Borage Oil. The capsules themselves are also vegan.
The main difference is the source of omega fatty acids. Dr. Ohhira's provides plant-based ALA (Omega-3), while fish oil offers pre-formed EPA and DHA. Dr. Ohhira's is a vegan alternative, eliminating concerns about fishy aftertaste or marine contaminants. However, direct EPA/DHA from fish oil may be more readily utilized by the body for some individuals.
Dr. Ohhira's emphasizes its unique blend of eight different cold-pressed oils, aiming for a specific 4:1:1 ratio of Omega-3, -6, and -9. The product is also formulated by award-winning microbiologist Dr. Iichiroh Ohhira and adheres to Japanese Agricultural Standards for its plant sources.
While generally considered safe for most people when taken as directed, some individuals might experience mild gastrointestinal discomfort, as can occur with any oil-based supplement. It is always recommended to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or are taking medications.
Dr. Ohhira's Essential Living Oils are available through various health and nutrition stores, online retailers, and the official Essential Formulas website.
The blend contains Omega-3 fatty acids (ALA) and other beneficial oils like borage oil (a source of GLA, an Omega-6 fatty acid), which are known for their potential to support a healthy inflammatory response.
Essential fatty acids play a crucial role in maintaining skin barrier function and hydration. The oils in this supplement may contribute to healthier-looking skin.
Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA (which the body can derive from ALA), are vital components of brain cell membranes and are important for cognitive function and mood.
Essential fatty acids are precursors to certain hormones and play a role in their regulation. This supplement may contribute to maintaining hormonal equilibrium.
