Grassroots Solution:

Developed for people who want one product that gives them all of the good fats they need, without any of the bad fats they should avoid.

Ingested in adequate amounts and in the optimal ratio, such as is found in Udo's 3• 6• 9 Oil Blend, EFAs have been shown to improve energy, stamina, performance sleeping patterns, concentration, mood and skin appearance.

The Truth About Fat

Most people think that avoiding all fat is the path to true health, but in reality there are two substances that can only be found in fat that are just as necessary to our survival as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. Of the many kinds of fats, only the ones called Omega 3 and 6 have been designated as essential fatty acids (EFAs) by scientists, because every living cell in the body needs these fats, but the body can't make them on its own. A direct food source is always required.

The key to health from fats lies in ingesting the essential ones in the proper ratio. This isn't usually achieved as it has been shown that the average diet is far too high in omega 6 and dangerously low in omega 3. Another concern we face when choosing a source of EFAs is that the majority of oils found on grocery store shelves have been damaged by heat, light and oxygen and modern processing practices. These oils may no longer provide healthful EFAs and may even be harmful.

Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend - Made with Health in Mind

Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend is a special blend of carefully chosen, natural, unrefined, EFA-rich oils that has a pleasant, nutty, buttery taste. It contains oils from fresh, certified organic flax, sesame, sunflower and evening primrose seeds as well as oils from rice and oat germ, providing 'minor' ingredients with major health benefits. This oil blend has added non-GMO soy lecithin, which improves oil digestion and provides the building materials for healthy cell membranes. Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend also contains medium chain triglycerides, which are easy to digest and assimilate and can be used directly by our cells as a source of energy without increasing fat deposits.

Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend is pressed and filtered in a state-of-the-art, low heat, light and oxygen-free environment to maximize stability and provide nutritional value and freshness. Nitrogen purged, amber glass bottles are filled with the oil blend and then nitrogen flushed to eliminate oxygen. The bottles are then capped and packed in a box to further protect the ingredients and ensure the highest possible quality. It is kept refrigerated in storage and ice packed when in transit when the weather dictates to keep the heat sensitive EFAs fresh.

Seeds vs Fish

Currently in Australia the words "omega 3" are synonymous with fish. Everywhere you look you see slogans encouraging you to "get more omega 3 EFAs from fish and fish oils". This recommendation seems harmless enough, but on closer inspection leaves some questions unanswered.

The first is the wording - "omega 3 EFAs". EFA stands for essential fatty acid, of which there are two - alpha linoleic acid (LNA) and linolenic acid (LA). These are the respective parents of the omega 3 and 6 fatty acids families. They are not found in fish oils, however, fish and fish oils are excellent sources of the long chain omega 3 derivatives, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Both EPA and DHA can be made in the body as required from LNA.

The second question is why this recommendation? Does it mean that fish is the preferred way to get your omega's? No, it's not. For starters, fish live their life in the sea, alongside all the industrial pollutants that man decides to dump there. As most toxins are fat soluble, they find their way into fish and fish oils as a matter of preference. Organic seed oils are not exposed to the same high levels of toxins, and so pose no threat by comparison. Secondly, oily fish will only provide the omega 3 derivatives, and is not a good source for omega 6 EFAs or their derivatives, so you're left with only one half of the story.

To compound this, what is an oily fish? Will tuna, haddock, cod or plaice do the trick? Unfortunately not. There isn't a great following of oily fish consumption in Australia, and recommendations to eat more often leave the public consuming non oily fish, which are not good sources of fats.

A final thought on fish oils is what happens when they are processed. EPA and DHA are roughly five times easier to damage with heat, light and oxygen than LNA, the delicate omega 3 EFA. We take the utmost care to preserve the quality of our oils by cold pressing them in absence of heat, light and oxygen, then bottling them in nitrogen flushed amber glass. This is what gives us such a superior blend. Fish oils, once they are extracted from the fish are subjected to steam distillation and deodorising techniques at high temperatures and pressures, leaving them prone to damage.

A thriving industry built on the back of the cod liver oil industry has left a nation mis-informed over their omega 3 choice.

Cosmetic Benefits of Udo's 3•6•9 Oil Blend

With people spending ever increasing amounts of money on skin creams and moisturisers, there needs to be a new way of looking at caring for your skin. Did nature intend us to have dry, dull skin that we need to coat with cosmetics to improve it? It certainly did not! Our skin is a window to our dietary habits - it shows us what's going on in our bodies. If our skin looks tired, then the rest of our body isn't being fed properly either. Cosmetics only mask this. The same is true for lifeless hair that "needs" twice daily therapeutic hair conditioners, "nourishing" shampoos, and other such treatments.

The essential fatty acids in Udo's Oil Blend are a major part of the fight for beautiful skin and hair. By supplying your body with the correct fats, it allows your skin's cell membranes to hold onto water that would escape if your diet was low in polyunsaturates. In this simple action EFAs work as internal moisturisers, giving you beautiful skin from within. At the same time it is observed that hair gains a new lustre, and nails become flexible and strong.

For women who are considering a baby, it is worth noting that stretch marks are merely a sign of undernourished skin. It is caused by the skin not growing fast enough, whilst being pulled tight across the body. If you have insufficient good fats in your body, this pulling causes small tears to form in the skin, resulting in the stretch mark scarring.

As the other vital organs of the body are given preferential treatment for EFAs, it will take up to a month of regular use to notice the changes in your skin, and up to three months for the changes in your hair and nails (those who are more EFA deficient will take more time, others will take less).

So a happy, healthy glow can be yours without the creams, and with all the other benefits of Udo's 3,6,9 Oil Blend.

Supplementation with EFAs Improves Athletic Performance and Fitness Levels

Research shows that EFAs can improve various biochemical and physiological reactions in the body and enhance athletic performance. When present in adequate and balanced amounts EFAs will:

• Improve stamina and endurance

• Decrease recovery time and inflammation after exercise and competition and speed the healing of injuries

• Improve protein and amino acid utilization to help build and maintain lean mass

• Decrease fat storage and production and increase metabolic rate

• Improve oxygen uptake and utilization

• Optimize glandular function

• Decrease arthritic joint pain and strengthen bones

• Improve circulation and immune function

• Promote sleep and elevate mood

• Heighten reflexes and concentration

Normalise sex hormone production and function


After 20 years of research and two studies measuring the effect of Udo's Oil on athletic performance, we know the human body, like most machines, needs oil to run at its best. Athletes around the world are experiencing greater strength, improved stamina, and faster recovery using Udo's Oil.

It's still happening! Even now, 20 years after Udo Erasmus shocked the world with the publication of his book Fats and Oils in 1986, people are still consuming dangerous, refined oils that seriously compromise our health. The book was revised and now exists as the bestseller Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill - and those fats are still killing!

Knowing how powerful EFAs can be in our pursuit of health, and learning how easy it is to incorporate them into your daily routine, all it takes is a decision to use Udo's 3·6·9 Oil Blend® in your everyday meals, and suddenly, those other fats - and the aches, pains and other annoying symptoms - become a thing of the past.

Udo Erasmus, Ph.D.

You've read it before: essential fatty acids are beneficial for a plethora of imbalances in the body, and can improve the symptoms of many conditions:

• Fatigue and exhaustion

• High cholesterol and cardiovascular concerns

• Insulin resistance and blood sugar imbalances

• Overweight and underweight

• Arthritis and inflammation

• Dry skin, hair and nails

• Low immunity and autoimmune disorders

• Poor memory and concentration

• Learning disabilities and poor memory

• PMS and hormonal imbalances

• Digestive difficulties and leaky gut

Many degenerative conditions may be slowed or corrected by ingesting omega-3 alphalinolenic acid (ALA), which the body converts into docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and omega-6 linoleic acid (LA), some of which is converted into gamma-linolenic acid (GLA).The benefits are widely recognized, and omega-3 is everywhere now! Staples such as eggs are available with this essential fat, and even packaged goods like ice cream boast omega-3 on the label. But two important things are being overlooked by this latest marketing ploy:

1. There are two essential fatty acids. We must get omega-3 and omega-6 in the diet because the body cannot manufacture them. Omega-6 is just as important as omega-3.

2. The quality of these omega-3 and -6 fats makes all the difference in how the body utilizes them.

Udo's 3,6,9 Oil Blend can play a supporting role in cardiovascular health (PDF info sheet)

Don't we get enough omega-6 in the diet?

You'd think so! Grain-based products may be a source of omega-6, but they often supply denatured and/or rancid forms of this EFA. Suddenly a once-healthful fat becomes just the opposite, and the body has to work double-time to counteract the damaging effects of damaged fats and oils. The best food sources of the good kind of omega-6 include whole grains (not milled into flour-based baked goods) and raw, whole, organic nuts and seeds.

Supplementing with omega-3 (flax or fish oil) may help alleviate symptoms for a while, but because most of the omega-6 in today's "food" is not fresh and whole, the deficiency or imbalance will eventually rear its ugly head. Although it is more difficult to get omega-3 in the diet, we do need some -6 as well. Research shows that a 2:1 ratio of omega-3:-6 is the best way to regain and maintain balance.

Foundation fats

There's no shortage of "omega" oil blends to choose from these days, and most of them rely on the groundwork research that Udo Erasmus, Ph.D., did in the field of healthy fats. Udo's 3·6·9 Oil Blend® was the first to be made with health in mind, and is based on the EFA ratio that was found to be ideal for humans.

Udo's 3·6·9 Oil Blend® is one of the most important staples in your fridge - far more foundational than milk or bread. Omega-3 and -6, being essential, must be part of the background of a balanced diet in order for true health to flourish. With these fats, the body can make all the other fats it needs, in the quantities and proportions that the body's intelligence deems necessary - and that will vary from person to person and throughout the stages of each person's life.

In this way, EFAs are truly foundational. While sometimes considered a bad word, fat is one of the three macronutrients (along with carbohydrates and protein).There's no getting away from the fact that it is required for the vitality and proper functioning of each and every one of your 30 trillion (30,000,000,000,000!) cells. Food is the most intimate consumer product: it doesn't just go through us, it is broken down and becomes the very cells of which we are made! Doesn't it make sense to consume the very best quality?

Fats that Heal, Fats that (Still) Kill

We're not just talking about rancid fish oil like North American elders used to take - now the processing of everyday "cooking oils" is much more dangerous than that. Severe damage is done to oil by processing with heat, solvents, bleach, hydrogenation, refining and deodorizing.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Udo's 3·6·9 Oil Blend® is unrefined and pressed without heat, light, oxygen, solvents or other chemicals.

No fish were harmed in the making of this oil!

"What about fish oil?" you ask. It can be a healthy supplement, but it is not intended to be part of the diet like plant-sourced EFAs are meant to be. Fish oils are optional, not foundational, and here's why:

• The human body converts plant-sourced omega-3 to the same EPA and DHA that are found in fish oils - in just the right proportions, with no danger of overload.

Experts generally agree that the human conversion rate of ALA to DHA is anywhere from 2-5%, and 5-10% for EPA.The confusion lies in how the statistics are presented. Fish oil companies would say it's "only" 5% or less. If you look at the math, you'll see that 5% is plenty!

1 Tbsp of Udo's 3·6·9 Oil Blend® supplies 6.5 g (6500 mg) of omega-3 (ALA). At the above conversion rates:

• 6500 mg ALA 130-325 mg DHA & 325-650 mg EPA

Many popular fish oil capsules supply only 120 mg of DHA and 180 mg of EPA. Udo's 3·6·9 Oil Blend® leads the pack!

Udo recommends 1 Tbsp of Udo's 3·6·9 Oil Blend® per 50 lbs of body weight. For an average 150 lb person:

• 6500 mg ALA x 3 Tbsp = 19,500 mg ALA 390-975 mg DHA & 975-1950 mg EPA

If you start with enough ALA, the body will automatically regulate the conversion rates according to what it requires at any given time. Conversion rates depend on many dietary and genetic factors. A healthy, balanced diet will naturally optimize the conversion and your brain won't have to worry about it at all. Food then becomes less of a stressful "science" and more of an artful, enjoyable expression of living.
