Udo's Choice Oil Blend

[Guest guest]

I've been looking to incorporate " good " fats into my diet (like omega

3) but I thought the only source was fish. I can't tell from reading

through this site (http://www.udoerasmus.com) whether or not the oil

is vegetarian or not. Has anyone used this oil blend before, and if

so, what's your feedback on it? Thanks.

Kristy,

 

I used Udo's Blend for a while, and still have a

number of containers of it at home, though I haven't

used any in a while because I'm trying to drop excess

pounds and was concerned about the added calories from

the blend.

 

My recollection is that the ingredient list is vegan

(I certainly hope this is the case - if not, I will be

very disappointed). A check of the Udo Erasmus Web

site

(http://www.udoerasmus.com/articles/udo/fthftk6.htm)

returns the following text:

 

-----------------------

The blend we use contains 9 ingredients. Flax

supplies omega 3s. Sunflower and sesame provide omega

6s, Oils of rice germ, unrefined evening primrose, and

oat germ provide 'minor' ingredients shown by research

or clinical practice to have healing benefits. The six

oils listed above won out over corn, pumpkin, and

safflower. All oils in the blend are unrefined, quite

a production feat, considering that some of them are

not commercially available in unrefined form.

 

In addition to the six oils, the blend contains medium

chain triglycerides, the good parts of coconut oil:

easy on our liver, lower cholesterol, improve EFA

absorption, inhibit tumor growth, and provide pleasant

taste. It also contains lecithin, which has a long

history of traditional use, and vitamin E, the

oil-soluble free radical scavenger.

-----------------------

 

TBN's comment: When I was taking the blend, I found it

helped my skin remain supple and smooth. That was the

most noticeable effect for me. But I've been consuming

ground flax seeds daily for a number of years, and was

concerned about the total calories I was consuming

with the flax + Udo's blend, so I stopped the Udo's

blend. I may return to it, however, once I lose

weight.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Tor Neilands
